Q1: What is a top-entry mixing tank used for?

A top-entry mixing tank is used to blend liquids, dissolve soluble ingredients and maintain product uniformity. Typical applications include beverages, syrups, dairy mixtures and other liquid formulations. The agitator is selected to suit the product and processing requirements.

Q2: How is it different from a high shear mixing tank?

A top-entry mixing tank primarily provides bulk circulation and blending. A high shear mixing tank uses a rotor–stator workhead for more intensive powder dispersion, deagglomeration and emulsification. The appropriate system depends on your ingredients and target product characteristics.

Q3: Can the tank size and agitator be customized?

Yes. Tank capacity, dimensions, agitator type and motor power can be tailored to your batch size, product viscosity and installation space. Connections and accessories can also be configured for your process.

Q4: Can the tank be equipped for heating or cooling?

A jacketed configuration can be specified for heating or cooling. Jacket design, heating or cooling medium, operating conditions and controls are selected according to your process requirements.

Q5: Can it mix thick or viscous products?

Suitability depends on the product’s viscosity at the processing temperature. Thicker products may require an anchor agitator, wall scrapers or another mixing arrangement. Please share your product details so we can recommend an appropriate configuration.

Q6: What information is needed for a quotation?

Please provide your product type, required working volume, viscosity, processing temperature and mixing objective. Include any heating or cooling requirements, site electrical supply and installation space limitations.

I completed the second brew yesterday. The hop basket you made worked extremely well, and I was able to brew an IPA using homegrown hops.

Everything is functioning smoothly so far, and I think the brewing equipment is very well designed.

Thank you very much!

Best regards,

We couldn't be more impressed with the quality and service Wang and his team have provided us. Redwood Stainless engineers had no problem drawing and executing our custom tank design,which no one else would do. All of our tanks came outfitted with high quality fittings,valves,and carb stones. The welds are beautiful, and these fermenters are a real showpiece.
