What is mixing tank?
BXG mixing tank is a processing unit for the manufacture of low-viscosity liquids and preparations in the cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food and chemicals industries.
What is mixing tank made of?
BXG mixing tank is usually made of mixer tank, heating and cooling system, temperature control system, electrical control panel etc.
The mixer tank is composed of an anchor agitator mounted from the top cover and two or more baffles attached to the inside wall.
How does mixing tank work?
During the mixing operation, the anchor agitator rotates clockwise slowly driving the materials move along the wall. When the liquid meets the baffles, some change the moving direction and some pass the baffles from around.
The left part of the anchor mixer moves the liquid upwards and the right part moves it downwards. Because of the two opposite forces by the agitator, the liquid rolls over the vessel from top to bottom and back to top repeatedly. When the liquid is completely mixed and blended, the heat from the jacket is quickly transferred to every part through the inside wall.
