Stainless Steel Mixing Equipment

Stainless steel mixing equipment is constructed from corrosion-resistant, easy-to-clean stainless steel. Its structure is designed around "efficient mixing + stable operation," and its functions are tailored to the mixing needs of various industries. The details are as follows:

I. Structure and Function

The structure of stainless steel mixing equipment must coordinately achieve "material contact + power transmission + safety and stability." Each component has a clear function:

1. Mixing Vessel (stainless steel, typically 304/316L)

Function: Holds the material to be mixed. 304 stainless steel is suitable for neutral/mildly corrosive materials (such as food and water-based cosmetics), while 316L stainless steel is resistant to strong corrosion (such as chemical acid and alkali solutions). It also meets hygienic standards (easy to clean and no dead corners).

2. Mixing Device (including agitator shaft and impeller)

Agitator shaft: Connects the power system to the impeller, transmitting torque. Stainless steel ensures strength and corrosion resistance, preventing the shaft from rusting and contaminating the material. Agitator: The core working component, designed with different types depending on material viscosity and mixing requirements, such as:

Paddle (straight/slanted): Suitable for low-viscosity liquids (such as water and solutions), achieving overall convection mixing;

Anchor/frame: With a scraping mechanism, suitable for high-viscosity pastes (such as paints and sauces), preventing material from sticking to the wall;

Turbine: High-speed rotation generates shear force, suitable for solid-liquid dispersion (such as powder dissolution) or emulsification (such as oil-water mixing).

3. Drive System (Motor + Reducer)

Function: Provides power to the agitator. The motor outputs speed, and the reducer adjusts torque and speed based on demand (e.g., high-viscosity materials require low speed and high torque), ensuring stable mixing without overload.

4. Support and Sealing System

Support structure: Typically a stainless steel bracket or base, it secures the entire device and ensures smooth mixing. Seals (such as mechanical seals and packing seals): Installed at the interface between the agitator shaft and the container, they prevent material leakage (such as toxic chemical liquids) or the ingress of foreign matter (such as food and pharmaceuticals). Stainless steel glands ensure corrosion resistance.

II. Application Scenarios

Due to its "corrosion-resistant, hygienic, and high-strength" properties, these seals are widely used in industries requiring high material safety and corrosion resistance:

Food and Beverage Industry: Preparation of juices, sauces, and dairy products (such as milk mixing and homogenization). 304 stainless steel meets food contact standards and is easy to clean, leaving no residue.

Pharmaceutical and Chemical Industry: Mixing of liquid chemicals and ointments (316L stainless steel is corrosion-resistant), or chemical acid and alkali solutions and coatings (to prevent equipment rust and contamination).

Cosmetics Industry: Mixing of creams, lotions, and shampoos. Stainless steel prevents metal ion precipitation and contamination, while meeting the hygienic requirements of cosmetics production.

Water Treatment Industry: Mixing of wastewater purification agents (such as flocculant dissolution). Resistant to corrosion from impurities in the water, ensuring long-term, stable operation of the equipment.
