Sanitary Mixing Vessel for Beverage Manufacturing

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Sanitary Mixing Vessel

Definition

The sanitary mixing vessel is a component used in beverage manufacturing, specifically within an integrated mixing and homogenization system. It provides a sealed, cleanable environment where liquid ingredients are combined, agitated, and prepared for further processing while maintaining strict hygiene standards to prevent contamination. The vessel is constructed from stainless steel, typically grade 304L or 316L, with 316L preferred for corrosive or high-chloride products. Internal surface roughness ranges from 0.4 to 0.8 μm Ra, which improves cleanability and reduces bacterial adhesion. The vessel is designed with smooth surfaces and crevice-free construction to facilitate cleaning and sterilization between batches. Key parameters include a working capacity of 500–10000 liters (with working volume typically 80% of nominal capacity), working pressure of 0.1–0.5 MPa (per GB/T 150), working temperature of 0–150°C, agitator speed of 10–150 rpm, motor power of 1.5–15 kW (per IEC 60034), insulation thickness of 50–100 mm, overall dimensions of 800–2200 mm diameter by 1500–4500 mm height, net weight of 300–5000 kg, electrical supply of 380/50 V/Hz (per IEC 60038), and ingress protection of IP54–IP65 (per IEC 60529). These values are reference ranges and must be confirmed for the specific model and application. The vessel is designed to meet hygiene standards, but compliance with specific regulations must be verified with the manufacturer. The product is listed in a neutral directory; the directory is not the manufacturer or seller. Always verify model-specific values and standards with the legal manufacturer or supplier before procurement.

Working Principle

Ingredients are loaded into the vessel where mechanical agitation, typically via an impeller or mixer, ensures thorough blending. The agitator speed and motor power are selected based on the mixing torque and duty cycle, which depend on the product viscosity and impeller type. The vessel's sanitary design features smooth surfaces, crevice-free construction, and appropriate materials to facilitate cleaning and sterilization between batches. The working pressure and temperature are maintained within specified limits, and the vessel is insulated to reduce heat loss. The internal surface roughness is controlled to minimize bacterial adhesion. The vessel operates as a sealed system to prevent contamination, and its design allows for effective cleaning-in-place (CIP) and sterilization-in-place (SIP) procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials are used for the sanitary mixing vessel?

The vessel is typically made of stainless steel grades 304L or 316L, with 316L preferred for corrosive or high-chloride products. The material grade should be confirmed with the manufacturer for the specific application.

What is the working capacity of the vessel?

The nominal capacity ranges from 500 to 10000 liters, but the working volume is typically 80% of the nominal capacity. The exact working volume depends on the specific model and process requirements.

What standards apply to the vessel's design and components?

The working pressure design references GB/T 150, motor power references IEC 60034, surface roughness references ISO 4287, material grade references ASTM A240, electrical supply references IEC 60038, and ingress protection references IEC 60529. These standards are for verification; compliance must be confirmed with the manufacturer.

How is the vessel cleaned and sterilized?

The vessel's sanitary design, including smooth surfaces and crevice-free construction, facilitates cleaning and sterilization. It is designed to support cleaning-in-place (CIP) and sterilization-in-place (SIP) procedures, but the specific methods should be verified with the manufacturer.
