The most significant difference between an emulsifying tank and reactors, mixing tanks, enzymatic hydrolysis tanks, etc., lies in the stirring system. The emulsifying tank employs a high-speed emulsifying head as its stirring system, featuring high rotational speeds—typically 1400 r/min or 2900 r/min. In contrast, ordinary reactors have rotational speeds of 0–500 r/min, making the emulsifying tank more efficient with a specialized stirring pattern.
When in operation, the centrifugal high-speed emulsifying head generates a powerful rotational suction force, drawing materials directly above the rotor downward in a rotating motion. These materials are then thrown at high speed toward the stator. Through high-speed shearing, collision, and crushing between the rotor and stator, the materials converge at the outlet and are ejected. Meanwhile, the anti-vortex baffle at the bottom of the tank converts rotational force into up-down churning force, ensuring uniform mixing of materials in the tank. This prevents powder from accumulating and agglomerating on the liquid surface, achieving the purpose of hydration and emulsification.
Apart from the difference in the stirring system, other configurations of the emulsifying tank are generally similar to those of a reactor. The emulsifying tanks designed by our company not only adopt the aforementioned high-speed emulsifying head but can also be equipped with frame stirring, wall-scraping stirring, etc., to suit various materials.
