Project Description

High Shear Emulsification Tank

Definition of High Shear Emulsification Tank

The emulsification tank uses the centrifugal force generated by the high-speed and strong rotating rotor to throw the material from the radial direction into the narrow and precise gap between the rotors, and at the same time, it is subjected to centrifugal extrusion and impact to disperse, the material is dispersed, mixed and emulsified. The machine has the advantages of compact structure, small size, lightweight, easy operation, low noise and stable operation. Its biggest feature is that it does not grind the material in the production process and integrates high-speed shearing, dispersion, homogenization, mixing, and crushing in one.

The emulsification tank can make the material staging and emulsification at high speed so that a variety of materials can be mixed to obtain a uniform and even liquid. At the same time, the emulsification tank also has heating, cooling, heat preservation and stirring functions. The process can provide all the conditions for the emulsification process.

 Scope Of Application Of High Shear Emulsification Tank 

1. Food and beverage: it is an ideal equipment to dissolve ingredients such as starches, proteins, pectin and caseinates, sugar, salt, gums without any lumps in the food and beverage industry such as in mayonnaise, dairy products, ice cream, chocolate, soy milk, fruit juice, fruit jam or paste, sugar and syrup production plants, it is also used for mixing, dispersion, emulsifying and homogenizing materials.

2. Chemical industry: lubricating oil, grease, heavy oil emulsification, diesel emulsification, disinfectant, pesticide, photosensitive latex, rubber slurry, resin slurry, thickener, flavor, silicon material, carbon black, magnesium oxide, titanium dioxide, Anti-sticking agent, release agent, defoaming agent, sealant, etc.

3. Cosmetics industry: detergents, conditioners, shampoos, body lotions, perfumes.

4. Pharmaceutical industry: injections, medicinal emulsions, medicated creams, health products, pharmaceutical preparations.

5. Paper industry: pulp, adhesive, injection, resin emulsification.

High Shear Emulsification Tank Feature   

  • The tank is made of SUS304/316L food-grade material, which can meet food and beverage production(reconstituted juice/milk processing, beverage preparation, fruit pulp/puree base processing, chocolate drinks processing, sauce, and jam processing) requirements.
  • There are two types of emulsification tanks, one is the bottom high shear type, which is suitable for dissolving crystal granules such as sugar or xylitol; the other type is the top high shear head, which is for dissolving the low to high viscosity powder ingredients.
  • The tank has the function of rapid dissolution of powders into liquids without fish eyes or agglomerates, and gentle product handling.
  • One or more agitators can be mounted on the tank to realize the multi-materials dissolving and mixing, And the vacuum tank can also be used for the materials which are easy to oxidize.
  • Specifications: Can be designed as single layer, double layers or triple layers.
  • Tank heating method: electric heating or steam heating.

High Shear Emulsification Tank Main Configuration  

1) Nominal volume: 500L-3000L and other general specifications and non-standard design and production.

2) Structural form: vertical, with tapered, elliptical, dish-shaped head, also suitable for process operations such as closed heating, deployment, reaction, enzymolysis and so on.

3) Jacket form: hollow (thermal oil or water), semi-circular coil, honeycomb jacket (made on demand), high heating or cooling efficiency.

4) Thermal insulation material: filled with pearl cotton, rock wool, polyurethane foam, with good thermal insulation effect.

5) Outer decorative cylinder: mirror-polished or 2B matte or 2B matte finish, beautiful appearance and neat appearance.

6) Stirring device: (eccentric) stirring in the top of the tank, bottom stirring; agitator form: frame type, anchor type, push type, paddle type, scraper paddle type, etc.

7) Stirring speed: equipped with stepless speed controller and inverter speed controller. The power of the stirring motor, the stirring speed and the form of the stirring slurry depend on the material properties.

8) Liquid level gauge: glass tube level gauge, static pressure sensing level gauge, etc. (optional).

9) Feet form: adjustable triangular pyramid or round tube.

10) Equipment accessories configuration: quick-opening sanitary manhole, sight glass, thermometer (liquid crystal display or dial pointer), respirator, CIP cleaner, material liquid inlet and outlet, circulation port, cold and hot medium inlet and outlet interfaces The nozzle can be selected (can be increased or decreased) according to the process.

11) Equipment material: SUS304 or SUS316L for the inner tank; SUS304 or Q235-B for jacket; SUS304 for outer layer tank.
