500L Electric Heated Glue and Gelatin Mixing Tank with Agitator

500L Electric Heated Mixing Tank for Glue and Gelatin

This 500L mixing tank is designed for processors that need controlled heating and steady agitation when preparing glue, gelatin, and similar viscous materials. Electric heating helps maintain a stable process temperature without requiring a plant steam line. The agitator keeps the batch moving, supports uniform heat distribution, and helps reduce settling or localized thickening during production.

Actual working volume depends on foaming, expansion, powder loading, and the required freeboard. We normally confirm batch size before finalizing the vessel dimensions and agitator arrangement. Glue and gelatin can behave very differently as temperature and concentration change, so the drive torque, impeller geometry, and operating speed should be selected from the formulation rather than from tank volume alone.

Construction and Fabrication

Product-contact surfaces are commonly specified in stainless steel, with the grade selected according to water quality, additives, cleaning chemistry, and sanitation requirements. Stainless steel 304 may suit many general applications; 316 or 316L is considered when chloride exposure, corrosive ingredients, or more demanding cleaning conditions are present. We can review the shell, bottom head, cover, ports, and support structure as one fabrication package.

Continuous sanitary welds, accessible cleanout points, and an appropriate internal finish matter more than a polished exterior. The required surface roughness and polishing level should be stated on the quotation. Mechanical seals or other shaft sealing arrangements are selected according to temperature, viscosity, leakage tolerance, and cleaning practice. Weld distortion, dead zones around fittings, and drainability are checked during fabrication review.

Heating, Drive, and Agitation

The electric heating system and temperature controls are sized around the batch mass, starting temperature, target temperature, insulation, heating time, and available electrical service. A variable-speed drive may be useful when the process changes from wetting and dissolution to final homogenization. Anchor, paddle, turbine, or other impeller styles can be evaluated according to viscosity and shear sensitivity. The gearbox and motor selection must account for startup torque, especially when gelatin cools or partially sets.

Technical Specifications

FAQ

Can this tank handle different glue formulas?
Yes, provided the agitator, seal, heating capacity, and controls are matched to each formula.

What information is needed for a quotation?
Send batch size, viscosity, solids content, heating time, target temperature, ingredients, cleaning method, power supply, and required discharge arrangement.

How do we confirm the correct configuration?
Share a process description or sample formulation. Our engineers can then review freeboard, torque, impeller type, materials, insulation, instrumentation, and maintenance access before pricing.
