Process application

The core function of a mixing tank is to achieve material mixing, homogenization, heat transfer, or suspension through mechanical agitation. Its basic working principle is as follows: The drive unit (typically an electric motor and gear reducer) provides power to rotate the mixing shaft and the impellers mounted on it inside the tank. During rotation, the impellers generate shear and circulation forces on the liquid in the tank, rapidly agitating and intermixing materials of different components, densities, or temperatures, ultimately achieving a uniform state that meets process requirements. In contrast, a transfer tank focuses more on temporary storage and buffering, where agitation is primarily used to prevent material sedimentation and stratification, maintaining uniformity, and its structure is relatively simpler. The entire process typically takes place in a sealed vessel and can be equipped with heating, cooling, vacuum, or pressurization functions as needed.
