How To Choose Suitable Industrial Cream And Liquid Stainless Steel Mixing Tanks

Industrial cream and liquid stainless steel mixing tanks, with their excellent performance and reliability, have occupied an irreplaceable position in modern industrial production. The application of these equipment in industries such as cosmetics, food and pharmaceuticals has not only greatly improved production efficiency, but also played a vital role in ensuring product quality and safety. The selection of stainless steel materials brings unparalleled corrosion resistance and easy cleaning characteristics to these mixing tanks, meeting high standards of hygiene requirements and ensuring product purity and consumer health.

1. Why do we need industrial stainless steel cream and liquid mixing tanks?

The reason why industrial cream and liquid stainless steel mixing tanks are so popular in industries such as cosmetics, food and pharmaceuticals is mainly because they have many advantages.

First of all, stainless steel materials provide excellent corrosion resistance and cleanability, which is essential for applications that need to maintain high hygiene standards.

Secondly, the design of these stainless steel fluid mixing tanks is usually very flexible and can adapt to different mixing needs and production scales, from small laboratory scale to large industrial production. In addition, industrial stainless steel paste liquid blending tanks are equipped with advanced control systems that can accurately control mixing speed, temperature and other key parameters to ensure product quality and production efficiency.

Moreover, with the continuous advancement of automation technology, many stainless steel paste and liquid mixing tanks can be integrated into automated product production lines, reducing manual intervention and improving the consistency and reliability of the production process.

Finally, due to its durability and ease of maintenance, stainless steel mixing tanks have a long service life and can save costs for your business in the long run.

2. How to choose suitable industrial paste and liquid stainless steel mixing tanks?

2.1 Plant space layout

When we choose paste and liquid stainless steel mixing tanks, we must fully consider the following points from the perspective of plant space layout.

• Plant space size: First, understand the available space size of your plant, including height, length and width, to ensure that the stainless steel paste and liquid mixing tank can fit into the existing space.

• Production line layout: Consider the location of the stainless steel mixing tank in the existing product production line to ensure its smooth connection with other equipment and process flows.

• Equipment spacing: Determine the appropriate spacing between the stainless steel mixing tank and other equipment based on safety regulations and ease of operation.

• Maintenance channel: Design a maintenance-friendly channel to ensure that the mixing tank can be easily cleaned and repaired when necessary.

• Operation space: Ensure that there is enough operating space around the mixing tank so that operators can safely perform daily operations and maintenance.

• Material flow path: Plan the entry and exit paths of the materials to ensure that the location of the mixing tank can reduce the material handling distance and improve efficiency.

• Energy and resource access: Consider the access points of energy (such as electricity, steam, etc.) and resources (such as water sources) required by the stainless steel mixing tank, and ensure that they are located for easy connection.

• Expandability and flexibility: Consider possible future production line expansion and choose a stainless steel mixing tank with flexible location, easy to move or expand.

2.2 Product process

Blade selection: Select the appropriate type of agitator based on whether the product is a low-viscosity liquid or a high-viscosity cream. For example, a high speed propeller agitator may be used for a low-viscosity liquid, while a frame-type scraping wall and bottom agitator may be selected for a high viscosity cream. Of course, if your raw materials require high speed shear emulsification, we can install a bottom high speed high shear homogenizer mixer for your stainless steel fluid mixing tank with agitator.

Heating options: Each of our customers has different product processes. Some customers use jacketed mixing tanks with agitator, while others use single-layer mixing tanks with agitator. For example, the mixing of shampoo, glass water, juice drinks, laundry detergent and detergent products usually does not require heating, but some products, such as hand cream, facial cleanser, shower gel, sunscreen, ointment, cream, hand soap, toothpaste, syrup, tea beverage, honey beverage, chocolate, mayonnaise, salad dressing, jam, liquid fertilizer products, need to be heated. Of course, this is not absolute. The specific production process formula will determine whether you need the heating option. As for whether to choose steam heating or electric heating, you can refer to our article-How To Choose Suitable Heating Method for Stainless Steel Mixing Tank?

Vacuum defoaming function selection: Whether the vacuum defoaming function is needed in the products of the daily chemical industry is closely related to your formula. During the production process of the product, some raw materials in some products are prone to foaming (such as surfactants, which can reduce the surface tension of the liquid and make the liquid more likely to form foam). In order to solve the foam problem, we usually have two methods. The first is to add a small amount of silicone oil to the product to inhibit the generation of foam. The second way is to use vacuum defoaming. We use our IMMAY vacuum-sealed stainless steel mixing tank to produce such products. Since it is equipped with a vacuum pump, we can extract the air in the stainless steel sealed mixing tank to the outside of the tank to reduce the generation of foam and help you quickly improve the quality of your products.

Selection of pretreatment mixing tank: In order to improve the production efficiency of the product, in the actual production process, we can configure appropriate pretreatment mixing tanks according to actual needs to process some raw materials that need to be mixed in advance. For example, in cosmetic cream products, we need to configure oil phase mixing tanks and water phase mixing tanks to process some oil phase and water phase raw materials in advance. In the production process of toothpaste products, we not only need to configure oil phase mixing tanks and water phase mixing tanks, but also need to equip powder mixing tanks to process powder mixing in advance. Of course, this needs to be determined according to your production process whether a pretreatment blending tank is needed and how many types of pretreatment mixing tanks we need.

2.3 Automation degree

For single-machine manual operation, our design focuses on the simplicity and intuitiveness of operation to ensure that even under manual control, an efficient and accurate production process can be achieved. This mode is suitable for small-batch production or production environments that require highly customized operations, allowing operators to interact directly with the equipment for fine-tuning.

On the other hand, for large-scale production and production lines with strict requirements for high efficiency, the multi-machine automation control system we provide can realize the automated control and management of the entire production process. By integrating advanced PLC electrical control systems, your production line can quickly adjust production parameters, monitor production status in real time, and automatically shut down when necessary, thereby maximizing production efficiency and stability.

Whether it is the flexibility of single-machine operation or the high efficiency of multi-machine automation, we are committed to providing the most suitable automation level for your production line to help your company optimize and upgrade the production process.
