Double-Wall Homogenizer Agitator Tank for Cream and Latex Processing

Process-focused design for creams and latex

This double-wall homogenizer agitator tank is configured around the product, batch size, and required process sequence. Facial cream production may require controlled heating, high-shear emulsification, and gentle sweep agitation during cooling. Latex processing can have different compatibility and shear requirements, so the vessel and mixing arrangement should be specified for the actual latex formulation rather than assumed to match a cosmetic setup.

We size the vessel and select the homogenizer from batch volume, viscosity, ingredient addition method, target droplet or dispersion characteristics, and allowable processing time. A high-shear head can help disperse phases, while a separate anchor or sweep agitator can move material near the vessel wall. Their speeds and operating sequence need to suit the formulation; excessive shear or poorly matched circulation can introduce air or create uneven processing.

Construction and configuration

Product-contact stainless steel is commonly specified as 304 or 316L, subject to ingredients, cleaning chemicals, and corrosion requirements. Welds, internal corners, and nozzle connections should be detailed to support the required cleanability. Surface finish is selected for the process and cleaning method; a numerical finish should be agreed in the purchase specification rather than presumed. Seal materials also depend on product chemistry, temperature, and cleaning agents.

The double wall can be designed for a heating or cooling medium, with jacket coverage and temperature-control hardware determined by the heat-transfer duty. Heating may use plant-supplied hot water, steam, or another specified utility. Motor and gearbox selection depends on viscosity, batch geometry, required speed range, and duty cycle. We confirm electrical supply, controls, hazardous-area requirements, and access for maintenance before finalizing the drive and homogenizer arrangement.

Configuration data

Common questions

Can one configuration handle both cream and latex? Not automatically. Product chemistry, viscosity, shear sensitivity, and cleaning requirements must be reviewed for each duty.

What should be included in a quotation request? Provide batch volume, product data or viscosity range, process temperatures, ingredient-addition sequence, cleaning method, utilities, and site electrical details. These inputs let our engineers recommend a suitable vessel, mixing system, and jacket arrangement without guessing at specifications.
