Stainless Steel Mixing Tanks

Heating or cooling your stainless steel mixing tank can be a constant struggle. A stainless tank can require ASME certification at certain temperatures and pressures. If heating dead spots must be eliminated in any of your stainless steel mixing tanks, Mixer Direct's manufacturing includes an innovative bottom dimple jacket that does just that with still one inlet and outlet on the stainless tank. Our fiberglass insulation and stainless sheathing insure a spectacular finish and increased safety. Another challenge in stainless steel mixing tanks is applying the correct surface finish. Mixer Direct can work with you to find the right finish for your application. We can achieve something as precise as a single digit Ra finish with passivation and electropolish, to something as cost effective as a 2B mill finish and anything in between on stainless steel mixing tanks. Achieving the right surface finish is crucial to limit bacterial growth in biological applications and cleaning time in all stainless tank applications.

What's the Difference Between 304 and 316 Stainless Steel Mixing Tanks?

304 and 316 stainless steel mixing tanks (abbreviated 304SS and 316SS) both offer tremendous mixing performance for all types of liquid processing. However, some industries may benefit from choosing one stainless steel mixing tank over another. For example, 304SS tanks are cheaper but don't offer as much heat resistance as 316SS tanks, which are also highly resistant to chlorine, acids and other chemicals. Therefore, it may be best to choose a 316 stainless steel tank if you work in the chemical industry, and utilize a 304SS tank for less intense applications.

Which Stainless Steel Tank Impeller Should I Use?

When you use a stainless steel tank for liquid processing, you're going to need a heavy-duty mixer and impeller to go with it. Our impellers come in low-, medium- and high-shear options. As the names suggest, each set of blades is designed for a specific level of dispersion; high-shear impellers rapidly create smaller particles, and low-shear blades slowly churn the liquid to consistently stay smooth. That means you should use low shear impellers for applications that involve the mixing of a low viscosity material, and you should use high shear equipment to achieve the dispersion of liquid powders.
