Chemical Mixing Tanks

Which Vessel Tank Bottom Head is Best for My Applications?

At Mixer Direct, our vessel tank bottom head options come in four separate categories: flat, slope, cone and dish. The tank vessels we carry are finely tuned to serve customers from all types of industries, but each bottom head has a particular advantage. These benefits are as follows:

• Flat tank vessels offer complete neutrality with a geometric shape that keeps a constant mixing motion.
• Slope tank vessels offer extremely efficient and accessible draining.
• Cone bottom heads also offer great draining, except they should not be used with applications involving solids suspension.
• Dish bottoms are better than cone bottoms for solids suspension, but a longer mixing shaft is required for these setups.

What Wetted Material Should I Choose When Ordering a Mixing Vessel?

You can purchase a mixing vessel in 304SS, 316SS or polyethylene wetted materials. Choosing a vessel tank based on these three material options will depend entirely on your application. For instance, 316SS material offers much more chlorine resistance than 304SS wetted material. Polyethylene chemical mixing tanks, on the other hand, are a more budget-friendly option for individuals who don't want a stainless steel tank.

Do Your Tanks Have Steam/Heating Jackets or Insulation Options?

Yes, ASME and non-ASME options for heating jackets and 2" stainless steel clad insulation is a standard add-on.
