SERVICE IN PRACTICE / PROJECT DELIVERY

Mixing Tank
Project

From design, through production,
installation and testing

Large-batch mixing for shampoo and other emulsions, with vacuum capability, transfer between three vessels and a separate CIP system.

The completed three-vessel installation

LARGE-BATCH MIXING / ONSITE INSTALLATION

Three big tanks
One connected system

A complete mixing installation for shampoo and other emulsions. The people working around the equipment give a practical sense of its size.

From the shared platform to the drives beneath the vessels, installation brings the full system together.

TWO SIDE VESSELS10 metric tons each22,046 lb per vessel / batch
CENTER VESSEL4 metric tons8,818 lb / batch
SEPARATE CIP SYSTEM10 metric tons22,046 lb capacity

Mixing capacities are per vessel, per batch, and stated by mass.

01 / VACUUM

Vacuum capability

Vacuum pump equipment allows the vessels to be evacuated during processing.

02 / TRANSFER

Move liquid between tanks

Separate transfer pumps allow liquid to be transferred between the three vessels.

03 / CLEAN-IN-PLACE

A separate CIP system

A separate CIP system with a capacity of 10 metric tons provides clean-in-place cleaning for the connected equipment.(22,046 lb capacity)

FROM THE FIRST MEETING TO THE COMPLETED INSTALLATION

One project
Nine connected steps

Follow the project from the first requirements meeting to the completed installation, with photographs of the factory build, shipment and onsite work.

  1. 01

    Understand the requirements

    Meet with the customer to understand the project scope, product requirements and what the system needs to do.

    Reviewing the customer’s requirements and project scope
  2. 02

    Develop the design

    Prepare the product specifications and design drawings to match the customer’s requirements. Plan the vessels, platform and connected equipment together.

  3. 03

    Put the plan into production

    Start equipment production after the plan is confirmed. The large stainless steel vessels take shape before final assembly.

  4. 04

    Factory acceptance

    Once production and assembly are complete, the project moves to onsite factory acceptance testing (FAT), before packing and transportation.

  5. 05

    Pack, load and transport

    After acceptance, protect the equipment, load the large assemblies and prepare the shipment for its journey to the customer’s factory.

EXPERIENCE BEHIND THE ADVICE

We speak the language

Vessel size is only part of the project. Vacuum equipment, transfer pumps, cleaning, site handling and onsite assembly all have to work within the same plan. Talk with our San Diego team about your next mixing system.
