12000 Lt Storage and Mixing Tank

12000 LT Storage and Mixing Tank

This is an important piece of equipment used in large-scale production facilities, especially in the food, chemical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries. It enables both the storage and mixing of liquids. These types of tanks are designed to efficiently store and process large volumes of liquids in production processes. Additionally, the mixing feature ensures that components blend homogeneously.

Below are detailed information and general features of the 12000 LT Storage and Mixing Tank:

1. Storage Features

A) High Capacity Storage

12,000 LT Capacity: These types of tanks are ideal for storing large volumes of liquids and are used in facilities with high production capacity. When large quantities of products need to be stored, this large storage capacity is advantageous.

Stainless Steel Construction: Typically made from stainless steel, these storage tanks are resistant to chemicals, moisture, and oxidation. Stainless steel is a hygienic and long-lasting material, commonly used in the food and chemical industries.

Closed System: Storage tanks are generally closed systems that are protected from air, moisture, and external factors. This helps keep the liquids fresh and prevents contamination.

B) Heating and Cooling Systems

Temperature Control: Some liquids must be stored at specific temperature ranges. These tanks may have heating and cooling systems for temperature control. Heating systems are particularly important when processing high-density liquids.

Thermal Balancing: The cooling and heating systems ensure that the liquids maintain a homogeneous temperature, preserving product quality.

C) Level Indicators and Safety Features

Level Indicators: Storage tanks have visual or digital level indicators that show how much liquid is stored. These indicators allow operators to monitor the tank’s fill level.

Pressure Control: Some liquids may need to be stored under pressure. Pressure indicators and pressure relief valves ensure safety. Without these features, the safety and stability of the liquids could be compromised.

2. Mixing Features

A) Homogeneous Mixing

Content Mixing: Mixing tanks are equipped with powerful mixing systems that ensure the components of liquids mix homogenously. This is especially important when mixing components with different densities and viscosities.

Rotary Mixers: Mixing tanks commonly use rotating paddles, blades, or other mixing devices. These mixers ensure that liquids blend evenly, enhancing the quality of the product.

Jet Mixers and Vortex Mixers: For denser and more viscous liquids, jet mixers or vortex mixers can also be used. These systems provide an effective mixture by rapidly rotating the liquid.

B) Mixing Speed and Control

Variable Speed Control: Mixing speeds are usually adjustable and can be optimized based on the mixture's properties and desired density.

Timers and Control Systems: The mixing process can be managed by timers and automatic control systems. This ensures that the mixing duration is properly adjusted, enhancing production efficiency.

3. Automation and Control Systems

A) PLC (Programmable Logic Controller)

Automatic Control: 12000 LT storage and mixing tanks are typically equipped with a PLC. This system automatically manages the mixing process, temperature control, level monitoring, and other parameters.

Data Monitoring and Recording: PLC systems record data related to the processing of liquids. These data are crucial for quality control and traceability. They also help optimize the production process.

B) Remote Monitoring and Control

Remote Monitoring: Modern mixing tanks allow remote monitoring of every stage of the production process. Operators can access the system through an internet connection or dedicated software.

Alarm and Warning Systems: The system issues alarms when abnormalities are detected in parameters such as temperature, pressure, or liquid levels. These safety features ensure the machines operate safely.

4. Cleaning and Hygiene

A) CIP (Clean-in-Place) System

Automatic Cleaning: Tanks with a 12000 LT capacity can be equipped with CIP systems that automatically clean the machines used in mixing and storage. This speeds up the cleaning process and enhances hygiene levels.

Hygienic Design: Stainless steel and smooth inner surfaces provide a hygienic environment for storing and mixing liquids. Additionally, they prevent bacteria and dirt accumulation during cleaning.

B) Easy Maintenance

Structural Design: Mixing tanks are designed for easy maintenance and cleaning. Parts that can be quickly assembled and disassembled speed up maintenance processes, ensuring production continuity.

5. Applications

12000 LT storage and mixing tanks have broad application areas across various industries, including:

• Cosmetics Production: Production of creams, lotions, shampoos, and other liquid cosmetic products.
• Food Industry: Mixing and storing sauces, beverages, oils, dairy products, and other liquid food products.
• Chemical Industry: Production of chemical solutions, cleaning products, paints, and other chemical compounds.
• Pharmaceutical Industry: Production of liquid medicines, antiseptic solutions, and other pharmaceutical products.

The 12000 LT Storage and Mixing Tank is a high-capacity piece of equipment used in large-scale production processes to store and mix liquids. These tanks play a crucial role in improving production efficiency, enhancing product quality, and ensuring energy efficiency. With automation and hygienic design features, safe and continuous production is guaranteed.
