Heating Methods – Electrical and Steam Heating Solutions
Description
A distinctive advantage of our stainless steel mixing tanks is the introduction of heating systems, which are necessary for processes where temperature control is essential. In this regard, we have two of the best suitable options for your operations:
Electrical Heating
This method offers the best means of performing heat in a controlled environment, since the target temperature can be accurately achieved. Electrical heating elements are embedded in the tank’s jacket, allowing easy and recommended means of heating.
Steam Heating
This is an alternative for industries and companies with large establishments and more steam generating capacities – it encourages widespread practices. This method enables quicker and equitable allocation of heat to the tank. It is also an economical means of heating, especially where large tanks are involved.
Both heating technologies allow the maintenance of optimum temperatures required for the processing of materials, resulting in enhanced quality products and increased operational capabilities.
Important Aspects of Stainless Steel Mixing Tanks
Maier stainless steel mixing tanks incorporate an array of features with a focus on usability, adaptability, and high operating characteristics. The most noticeable features are:
Durability
Using high-quality stainless steel (SS304 or SS316), these tanks resist rusting and are suitable even under harsh environments, ensuring extended periods of operation.
Sanitary Design
The stainless steel raw materials for the tanks ensure that they are easy to clean and less prone to contamination. This is particularly important for industries such as food, drinks, or pharmaceuticals that require sanitation.
Customization Options
Tanks are designed to meet specific requirements, such as motor power, heat source and voltage, mixers to be used, and tank volume.
Pressure and Vacuum Capabilities
Some tanks can be designed with a vacuum or overpressure for more options in applications.
Temperature and pH Control
Temperature and pH control are easily maintained in our tanks to ensure an optimal environment for your mixing needs.
Various Agitator Types Available
To make the most out of any mixing, different types of products require different types of agitators during mixing. Depending on your requirements, you can choose from:
Anchor Agitator
Suitable for viscous materials that need thorough mixing.
Propeller Agitator
Easily used for low and medium viscosity materials. This is one of the most commonly used options.
Turbine Agitator
Perfect for situations that require rapid and powerful mixing and emulsification.
Helical Ribbon Agitator
Suitable for powders and semi-solid materials that require gentle mixing.
High-Shear Mixer
Particularly in charge of emulsification and homogenization, this agitator allows fine particles to be well distributed in a mixture.
All categories of agitators can be precisely set to specific speeds, directions, and torque for any specific production needs.
Applications
Here are some industries where our stainless steel mixing tanks are applied:
Food and Beverage
These tanks mix sauces, syrups, creams, and other food products while ensuring the hygienic nature of processing, as the surfaces are easy to scrub clean.
Pharmaceuticals
Applies to the preparation of formulations, suspensions, and other similar products needing high degrees of purity and precision coupling.
Cosmetics
Excellent for the formulation of lotions, creams, and emulsions with standard uniform viscosity.
Chemical Processing
Useful in mixing chemicals, resins, or adhesives in a safe and organized manner.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What kind of stainless steel is used for your mixing tanks?
SS304 or SS316 stainless steel is mainly adopted depending on the customer’s requirements. SS316 is high in anti-corrosive properties and is recommended for use in the pharmaceutical and chemical sectors.
2. Can the tanks be utilized for heating and cooling as well, or only one of both is possible?
Yes, as mentioned earlier, the tanks can be fitted with a heating system, a cooling system, or both. This means that processes requiring a certain temperature to be maintained throughout the production process can be supported.
3. Do your tanks work well for heavy, viscous liquids?
Certainly, our tanks are designed to accommodate suspensions with different viscosity levels, thanks to the provision of agitators such as anchors or helical ribbons that are suitable for high viscosities.
4. Can the tanks be manufactured according to the requirements of my facility?
Definitely. The sizes of the tanks, their respective propulsion motors, the voltage of the tank, the type of agitator, and the heating type can all be varied to make the tank suitable for the specific work being performed.
5. What is the procedure for the proper maintenance and cleaning of the tank?
The tanks are designed in such a way that cleaning and maintenance are not difficult. Moreover, being made of stainless steel, cleaning is easy and fast, ensuring that the risk of contamination is very low.
