Automatic Batching Tank

Definition

The fully automatic batching tank system primarily consists of a batching tank, a touchscreen + PLC (industrial computer control system), automatic pneumatic valves, transfer pumps, and a weighing system. It is an ideal automated liquid preparation device that can automatically mix and proportion various raw materials through a PLC touchscreen-controlled program, following specific sequences and under different temperature conditions, to achieve the production of finished products. This system is suitable for liquid preparation in injections, lyophilized powder injections, and vaccines.

 

Key components and functions:
  1. Batching Tank: The main vessel for mixing and storing ingredients.
  2. Touchscreen + PLC: Provides automated control and monitoring capabilities.
  3. Pneumatic Valves & Pumps: Ensure precise material transfer and flow control.
  4. Weighing System: Enables accurate measurement of raw materials.

 

Applications:
  • Pharmaceutical industry: Preparation of injections, vaccines, and lyophilized products.
  • Biotechnology: Precise liquid mixing for sensitive processes.
This translation maintains technical accuracy while ensuring clarity for international audiences. Adjustments can be made based on specific industry standards or equipment specifications.

Structure

Main Components:
  1. Tank Body: Composed of a cylindrical shell and dished head (cover).
  2. Jacket/half-pipe coil: For temperature control (heating or cooling).
  3. Top-mounted mechanical agitator: Driven by a motor-reducer transmission system.
  4. Shaft sealing device: Ensures containment of process media.
  5. Support structure: Includes platforms and legs for stability.
  6. Insulation layer: Maintains process temperature and energy efficiency.
System Configurations:
  • Transmission system: Motor, reducer, and coupling.
  • Mechanical seal: Prevents leakage around the agitator shaft.
  • Temperature control: Sensors, heating/cooling systems, and PID controllers.
  • Weighing system: Accurate measurement of raw materials.
  • Level indicator: Monitors liquid levels inside the tank.
Nozzle Configurations:
  • Manhole (also serves as solid feeding port)
  • Liquid inlets/outlets
  • Sight glass & lighting ports
  • Venting/breathing ports
  • Temperature gauges/sensors
  • Thermal medium inlets/outlets
This translation preserves technical accuracy while adhering to international engineering terminology. Adjustments may be needed based on specific industry standards (e.g., ASME, DIN) or client specifications.

Features

The automatic batching tank boasts strong versatility, stable performance, intuitive interface, and simple operation. It integrates comprehensive functional modules, including:
  • Data management: Raw material configuration, precision settings, silo transfer setup, and operator authority management.
  • Recipe management: Storage and recall of multiple batching formulas.
  • Production management: Configuration of process parameters and control parameters.
  • Real-time monitoring: Visualization of production status and material flow.
  • Reporting system: Generation of batch reports, shift reports, daily/monthly production summaries, silo statistics, recipe analysis reports, etc.
  • Equipment diagnostics: Built-in detection functions for operational reliability.
During batching, the system:
  • Displays real-time data (weights, temperatures, mixing status, etc.).
  • Shows simulated process flowcharts for intuitive operation.
  • Features a user-friendly HMI (Human-Machine Interface) with clear graphics and stable runtime performance.
This setup ensures high operational efficiency, minimal human error, and compliance with automated production requirements across industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, and chemicals.
1. Real-time Weight Detection System
The full-automatic batching tank system utilizes advanced load cells to measure the net weight of the liquid contents in real time, independent of the tank’s own weight or internal pressure.

 

2. Non-contact Sensing Technology
All sensing components are externally mounted, ensuring zero contact with the process liquid. This design fully preserves the integrity and purity of the formulated product.

 

3. High-precision Measurement
Equipped with imported high-precision load cells (from leading global suppliers), the system achieves exceptional accuracy in liquid weight detection.

 

4. Quick-connect Flexible Sealing
The weighing tank features a quick-release flexible connection using imported braided reinforced platinum-cured silicone tubing (temperature range: -73.3°C to 204.4°C), compliant with GMP and FDA standards. This minimizes measurement errors caused by mechanical stress.

 

5. Intelligent PLC Control System
Automated via a PLC with intuitive touchscreen interface, the system offers:
  • User-friendly HMI with simplified operation
  • Precise control of solute and solvent quantities via input of two parameters: total batch weight and target concentration
  • Elimination of manual errors and inconsistencies
  • Significant reduction in production costs and cycle times
  • Ensures first-pass yield of accurately formulated solutions

 

6. CIP/SIP Capabilities
The system is fully equipped for Clean-in-Place (CIP) and Sterilize-in-Place (SIP) operations, ensuring compliance with pharmaceutical and biotech industry standards.

 

Technical Notes:
  • Units converted to metric system for international clarity
  • Industry-specific terms (GMP, FDA) retained for accuracy
  • Passive voice minimized for active, directive tone
  • Technical specifications formatted for easy reference
This translation maintains precision while ensuring readability for global engineering and manufacturing audiences.
