What You Can Mix
This high shear mixing tank with lobe pump is made for many industries and product types, such as:
- Food & Beverage: Sauces, creams, syrups, dairy, jams, chocolate, soups, and beverage bases
- Cosmetics & Personal Care: Creams, lotions, gels, and emulsions
- Pharmaceuticals: Ointments, suspensions, and regulations with precise shear
- Chemicals: Adhesives, emulsions, detergents, and viscous industrial blends
The scraper mixer keeps the tank walls clean and stops product build-up, while the high shear mixer makes a smooth, uniform texture—even for hard-to-disperse ingredients. After mixing and heating, the lobe pump transfers your product without hurting fragile particles or emulsions.
How It Works in Your Production
Picture this: your operators load fresh ingredients into the 500-liter tank. The scraper mixer begins right away, moving the bulk material around and keeping the walls clean of sticky residue. After that, the high shear mixer activates, chopping up solids, wetting powders, and crafting a silky, uniform blend.
When the mixture hits the target temperature, the lobe pump takes over, moving the batch—whether it’s a rich cosmetic cream or a velvety tomato paste—straight into the filling machine or a bulk storage tank. The benefits are clear: quicker cycle times, less manual handling, and a product that’s always uniform and high-quality.

Common Questions
- Q1: Can the lobe pump handle thick products?
Yes. The lobe pump transfers viscous materials gently yet effectively, keeping your product intact. - Q2: Is the tank only electric-heated?
Electric heating comes standard, but we can add steam or thermal oil heating if that suits your process better. - Q3: Which stainless steel grade should I choose?
Grade 304 works well for most situations, while 316 gives you better resistance against acids or salty materials. - Q4: Can I get a larger or smaller tank?
Absolutely. We build mixing tanks that range in size from 100 liters all the way up to 1,000 liters.
