For industry, a mixing tank is an optimal solution for mixing and stirring large portions of substances without any issues such that all substances are well distributed. In principle, there are many tanks that can be used as a mixing and stirring tank. It’s important to have the option of installing an agitator in the tank. What it looks like depends on the substance to be mixed in the tank. It’s not only liquid or moist substances that are mixed. Dry substances, such as grain, are mixed in large tanks as well so that they can be more easily processed later on.

Functions and material

In addition to boiling and cooling functions, mixing tanks frequently comprise a few other features as well. For viscous mixtures, it’s particularly important for there to be an outlet or, depending on the size, an opening for tilting the tank. This is because mixtures that don’t pour easily must also be able to leave the tank without issue. Mixing tanks are generally made of stainless steel. This makes them more stable, as there is movement inside the tank. Accordingly, the tank must also stand stably and be placed on level, solid ground.
