Technical details and manufacturing context for Mixing Tank

Definition
The Mixing Tank is a component of the Syrup Preparation Unit in beverage manufacturing, used to combine water, sweeteners, flavorings, and other additives into a uniform syrup mixture. Constructed primarily from Stainless Steel 316L, the tank is engineered for controlled agitation and mixing processes, ensuring consistent product quality. Its nominal capacity ranges from 500 to 10,000 liters, with working pressure from 0.1 to 0.5 MPa (per GB/T 150) and working temperature from 0 to 100°C. Stirring speed varies from 30 to 150 rpm, driven by a motor with power between 1.5 and 15 kW. Mixing accuracy is maintained within ±0.5% for syrup concentration, and temperature control accuracy is ±1°C. Material grade options include 304 or 316L (ASTM A240), with surface finish from 0.4 to 0.8 μm Ra (ISO 4287). Electrical supply is 380 V AC, 50 Hz (IEC 60038), with ingress protection from IP54 to IP65 (IEC 60529). Overall dimensions range from 1200 to 3000 mm in diameter, and weight from 300 to 3000 kg. These values are reference ranges; actual specifications must be confirmed with the legal manufacturer or supplier for the specific model and application. The tank is designed for integration into a syrup preparation line, with interfaces for inlet/outlet piping, agitation, and control systems. Verification questions include checking material certifications, pressure ratings, and surface finish compliance. Maintenance signals include unusual vibration, noise, or leakage, and failure boundaries are defined by pressure limits and material integrity.
Working Principle
The Mixing Tank operates on the principle of mechanical agitation. Impellers or paddles, driven by an electric motor, create turbulent flow within the vessel. This turbulence ensures thorough blending of liquid ingredients, maintaining consistent temperature and viscosity throughout the mixture. The agitation speed is adjustable to suit different viscosities and mixing requirements. The tank's design promotes efficient mixing while preventing dead zones, ensuring homogeneity. Temperature control may be integrated to maintain the desired process conditions. The system is designed for batch operation, with the ability to scale from small to large production volumes.
