A mixing tank,also know as a preparation tank or blending tank,is a vessel designed for the formulation and configuration of materials.It is primarily used in industries such as food and dairy for recipe mixing,pharmaceuticals for liquid preparation,and chemical/paint manufacturing for ingredient blending.
Functions and Applications:stir and prepare solutions,blend and configure materials,provied heating and temperature maintenance,store materials for subsequent processing .
After powering on,sensors installed on the tank (for temperature,rotation speed,pressure,ect.)transmit corresponding signals to the tank controller.The controller:
1.Displays all sensor signals in real-time.
2.Temperature Control:Compares the temperature signal with the setpoint,the adjusts heating power using PID algorithms via on/off switching or phase modulation to match the actual temperature to the set value.
3.Speed Control:Compares the rotation speed signal with the setpoint,then regulates the motor speed using PID algorithms to achieve the desired rotational velocity.
4.Pressure Safety:Compares the pressure signal with the setpoint.If pressure exceeds the threshold,an alarm activates to prompt operator intervention.
5.Comprehensive Monitoring:Records the tank’s operational time to facilitate comprehensive control and management.
1.Pressure and Temperature Control
Operate strictly within the working presure and temperature specified on the product nameplate to avoid hazards.
2.Maintenance Compliance
Adhere to the cooling,oiling,and other maintenance regulations outlined in the product manual to ensure proper equipment upkeep.
3.Hygiene-Critical Cleaning
For production processes with high hygiene requirements(e.g.,dairy,pharmaceutical industeies),strictly follow cleaning and daily maintenance protocols.Detailed procedurs are provided in the equipment operation operation manual.
1.Transportation Damage Insprction
Check of severe damage or deformation on the equipment caused by transportation,and verify that fasteners are not lose.
2.Foundation Installation for High-Speed Tanks
For high-speed mixing tanks requiring anchor bolts,users should embed foundation bolts in a solid base and install the equipment horizotally.
3.Professional Installation Supervision
Install the equipment,electrical control devices,and accessories correctly under professional guidance.
Check that pipelines are unobstructed,installed instruments are correct and undamaged.
Before starting the equipment,ensure no persons or objects around\inside could interfere with normal operation to avoid hazards.
4.Test Run Procedures
After installation,perform a few seconds of trial operation.
If no electrical short circuits or abnormal noises are detected,to a short-term test rotation.
5.Mechanical Seal Preparations
For tanks with mechanical seals:
Inject appropriate 10# oil or sewing machine oil into the seal lubrication groove brfore starting the main unit.
For water-cooled mechanical seals,supply cooling water to the seal cavity to ensure proper lubriaction and cooling.
6.Post-Commissioning Checks
After normal operation begins,inspect bearing temperature,running stability,sealing performance,and instrument functionality.Confirm normal operation before adding materials.
