Single Layer Homogenizer Mixing Tank

A Single Layer Homogenizer Mixing Tank is a versatile, high-performance industrial tank designed for blending, emulsifying, dispersing, and homogenizing a wide variety of liquid and semi-liquid products. It consists of a single-walled stainless steel tank integrated with a high-shear homogenizer, which delivers intense mixing and uniform particle size distribution. These tanks are widely used in industries requiring precise mixing without the need for thermal insulation or jacketed heating. The design ensures efficient mixing with minimal product wastage and is suitable for both batch and continuous processing. The tank may include features such as a bottom or side-mounted homogenizer, variable speed drive, control panel, and sanitary-grade fittings for CIP/SIP compatibility.

Working Principle

The working principle of a Single Layer Homogenizer Mixing Tank involves two main actions:

• Mechanical Agitation: The agitator (optional) ensures the bulk material is continuously stirred, preventing sedimentation or phase separation.
• High-Shear Homogenization: The integrated homogenizer uses a rotor-stator mechanism to create intense mechanical shear forces. As the product passes through the narrow gap between the rotor and stator, particles are broken down and dispersed uniformly.

This results in:

• Reduction of particle sizes
• Uniform blending of immiscible phases (e.g., oil and water)
• Elimination of agglomerates
• Enhanced product stability and texture

Application

Single Layer Homogenizer Mixing Tanks are used in a broad range of industries for producing high-quality emulsions, suspensions, and solutions. Typical applications include:

• Pharmaceutical Industry: Ointments, creams, syrups, suspensions
• Cosmetic Industry: Lotions, shampoos, conditioners, body wash
• Food & Beverage Industry: Sauces, dairy products, beverages, flavor emulsions
• Chemical Industry: Emulsions, resins, paints, inks, detergents
• Biotechnology: Cell lysis, culture media preparation
