How to Achieve Uniform Mixing? Magnetic Stirring Tanks Explained

The Core of Uniform Mixing: Magnetic Stirring Tanks

• Blending milk, sugar, and additives in dairy production
• Preparing pharmaceutical suspensions and solutions
• Homogenizing juice concentrates and beverages

Structural Components & Design

1. Sanitary Stainless Steel Construction:
   • All contact parts (tank body, lid, stirrer, inlets/outlets) made from food-grade 1Cr18Ni9Ti stainless steel (compliant with GB741-80 standards).
   • Interior/exterior polished to a mirror finish for easy cleaning.
2. Mixing Mechanism:
   • Central stirrer driven by a cycloidal-pinwheel planetary gearbox (top-mounted).
   • Stirrer design optimized for radial and axial flow, ensuring 360° uniform mixing.
3. Operational Features:
   • Temperature Monitoring: Built-in thermometer for real-time temperature display.
   • Quick Access Lids: Two hinged lids for easy interior cleaning.
   • Multi-Purpose Inlets: Two pipeline-connected inlets for ingredient addition.
   • Bottom Discharge: Plug valve (90° rotation for on/off) for smooth material release.

Design Advantages for Uniform Mixing

Application Scenarios

• Food & Beverage:
  ▪ Dairy product formulation (yogurt, cream)
  ▪ Juice blending and flavor infusion
• Pharmaceuticals:
  ▪ API suspension preparation
  ▪ Liquid dosage form mixing
• Chemical & Biotechnology:
  ▪ Reagent blending for lab-scale reactions
  ▪ Culture medium preparation for bioprocessing

Functional Versatility

• Storage tanks for raw materials
• Holding vessels for intermediate products
• Temporary reservoirs in continuous production lines

Operational Tips for Optimal Mixing

1. Loading Sequence: Add low-viscosity liquids first, followed by powders/solids.
2. Speed Control: Start at low speed (10–20 RPM), gradually increase to 50–80 RPM for optimal shear.
3. Cleaning Protocol: Rinse with warm water, then sanitize with 75% ethanol or alkaline solution.
