Mixing kettle

A mixing tank is a device used for material mixing, dispersion, homogenization, and storage, widely used in industries such as coatings, inks, chemicals, food, pharmaceuticals, and electronic pastes. It is mainly used for pre-mixing before grinding and slurry preparation after grinding, ensuring uniform dispersion of materials and improving production efficiency.

Working Principle of Mixing Kettle

1️⃣ Feeding: Liquids, powders, or slurries are added into the mixing tank.
2️⃣ Mixing and Dispersion:

Materials are thoroughly mixed using mechanical stirrers (such as anchor type, paddle type, frame type, dispersing disc, etc.).

Optional high-speed dispersers or emulsifiers can be added to enhance the dispersion effect and prevent settling.
3️⃣ Circulation and Temperature Control (optional):

The jacket heating/cooling system can regulate temperature, suitable for special process requirements.

A pumping system can be connected for circulation, improving mixing uniformity.
4️⃣ Discharge: The uniformly mixed slurry is discharged through the bottom or side outlet to the next process, such as grinding, filling, etc.

Features of Mixing Kettle

✅ Uniform Mixing and Efficient Dispersion: Quickly and uniformly mixes various materials, preventing settling and clumping.
✅ Suitable for Various Slurries: Handles liquids, slurries, and suspensions with viscosities ranging from low to high.
✅ Supports Multiple Stirring Forms: Options for low-speed stirring, high-speed dispersion, emulsification, circulating shear, etc., to meet different process needs.
✅ Variety of Material Options: Available in materials like stainless steel (304/316L), carbon steel, PP, PE, suitable for corrosive, explosion-proof, or hygienic-grade environments.
✅ Can be Equipped with Temperature Control System: Supports jacket heating/cooling, allowing for precise control of material temperature, enhancing production stability.
✅ Easy to Clean and Maintain: Simple structure, easy to disassemble, supports CIP cleaning, reducing cross-contamination.

Application Areas

🔹 Coatings and Inks (Water-based/Oil-based coatings, Printing inks, Pigment pastes)
🔹 Electronic Pastes (MLCC, Conductive pastes, Semiconductor materials)
🔹 Food and Pharmaceuticals (Emulsions, Syrups, Protein liquids, Drug suspensions)
🔹 Fine Chemicals (Pesticides, Cosmetics, Additives, Emulsions)
🔹 New Energy Materials (Lithium battery slurries, Nanomaterials)

How to Choose the Right Mixing Tank?

🔸 Capacity: Select a specification ranging from 10L to 5000L depending on your production needs.
🔸 Stirring Type: Determine whether you require high-speed dispersion, low-speed stirring, or vacuum stirring.
🔸 Material Requirements: Consider whether you need acid and alkali resistance, stainless steel (sanitary grade), or an explosion-proof design.
🔸 Temperature Control Needs: Decide if you need a heating/cooling jacket to regulate temperature.
