Sanitary Stainless Steel Mixing Tank with Agitator

1. Essential Stainless Steel Mixing Tanks with Agitator for Hygiene

In industries where hygiene and product consistency are paramount—such as cosmetics, food, and pharmaceuticals—a sanitary stainless steel mixing tank with agitator is an essential piece of equipment. These tanks ensure uniform mixing of ingredients while maintaining strict sanitary standards throughout the production process. With customizable configurations and a wide range of applications, stainless steel mixing tanks play a critical role in modern manufacturing environments.

2. What Makes a Mixing Tank with Agitator “Sanitary”?

A sanitary mixing tank is designed to meet the hygiene requirements of sensitive production environments. The use of high-grade stainless steel, typically SUS316L or SUS304, ensures excellent corrosion resistance and compatibility with a wide range of products. Smooth internal surfaces and crevice-free construction help prevent product residue buildup and microbial contamination. These tanks are easy to clean and maintain, making them ideal for industries that require frequent product changeovers and strict cleanliness standards.

3. The Role of Agitators In Mixing Efficiency

The agitator is the core component that determines the mixing efficiency of materials in the tank. Depending on the viscosity and nature of the product, different types of agitators can be used, such as scraped wall and bottom paddles, dispersion disks, or high shear homogenizers. For low-viscosity liquids, a simple three-blade agitator may be sufficient, while thicker lotions or creams usually require high shear homogenizers to ensure uniformity and stable texture. A well-designed agitator can improve batch consistency, shorten processing time, and improve the overall quality of the final product.

4. Applications Across Industries

Sanitary stainless steel mixing tanks with agitators are widely used across multiple industries where hygiene and precision are critical.

In the cosmetics industry, these tanks are essential for producing lotions, creams, shampoos, and gels. The combination of smooth stainless surfaces and efficient agitation ensures the final product is free of lumps, well emulsified, and visually appealing.

In the food sector, they support the mixing of sauces, dairy products, syrups, and beverages, helping maintain flavor consistency and texture across batches.

In pharmaceutical production, these tanks are used to prepare liquid medicines, syrups, and topical formulations under controlled conditions. The sanitary design minimizes the risk of contamination and ensures compliance with hygienic production standards.

5. Customization Options for Your Production Needs

Every production line has unique requirements, which is why stainless steel mixing tanks are often tailored to fit specific processes. Common customization options include:

Tank volume

Sizes range from small laboratory scale (exceeding 50 liters) to large capacity (exceeding 5000 liters) sanitary stainless steel mixing vessels with agitator . When our customers purchase single sanitary stainless steel mixing tanks, common capacity requirements include 500L, 1000L, 2000L and 5000L. For large scale sanitary liquid and cream production lines, customers usually integrate 300 gallon, 500 gallon, 1000 gallon and 2000 gallon mixing tanks into the same multifunctional system to meet diverse production process requirements and efficient operation processes.

Agitator Configuration

Our stainless steel mixing tanks offer a variety of agitator options to suit different production needs. Whether it is a paddle agitator for gentle mixing, a scraped bottom agitator for viscous materials, or a high shear homogenizer for emulsifying complex formulations, we offer adjustable speeds and powerful motor types. This flexibility ensures optimal mixing efficiency and consistent product texture regardless of the material characteristics.

Jacketed Design

For processes that require precise temperature control, our mixing tanks can be equipped with a jacket system. This enables heating or cooling fluid to circulate within the mixing tank, keeping the product at the desired temperature throughout the mixing process. This temperature regulation is critical for sensitive formulations to ensure stability, prevent degradation, and achieve smooth emulsification or dissolution.

Mobility and Installation

Depending on the layout and size of your production facility, the mixing tank can be supplied as a fixed unit securely mounted on a sturdy frame or as a mobile system equipped with heavy-duty wheels. Mobile mixing tanks are easy to relocate for flexible workflows or convenient cleaning, while fixed mixing tanks provide a stable, permanent installation for large-volume continuous production processes.

Control Systems

For enhanced process control and repeatability, our mixing tanks integrate advanced control features. These features include temperature sensors for real-time monitoring, variable frequency drives for precise speed regulation, and automated valves for seamless operation. These integrated features help improve production consistency, reduce manual intervention, and increase overall efficiency.

These customization options help manufacturers optimize their workflow, improve efficiency, and maintain consistent product quality.
