Emulsion Tank Manufacturing
Emulsion tanks are essential equipment in industrial processes, designed to homogeneously mix two or more liquids with different viscosities and create a stable mixture. These tanks are widely used across many sectors and are indispensable in industries like food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, petroleum, paint, and ink production.
Aces Process is a leader in emulsion tank manufacturing, offering expertise from design to production. Each tank can be customized to meet the unique requirements of the client, ensuring the highest performance and mixture homogeneity.Emulsion tanks provide precise mixing of liquids with varying viscosities, maximizing the quality of the final product.
Emulsion Tank Components
Emulsion tanks consist of the following key components:
-
Tank body: The main body of the tank where the liquids are mixed. The tank body is typically made of stainless steel, carbon steel, or aluminum.
-
Mixer: The equipment that mixes the liquids. Mixers can be blade type, vortex type, or propeller type.
-
Rotation system: The equipment that ensures the mixing and homogenization of the liquids inside the tank. The rotation system can be provided by a pump or a mixer.
-
Heating/cooling system: The equipment used to control the temperature of the liquids. The heating/cooling system can be provided by a steam boiler, a heat exchanger, or a cooling system.
-
Emulsion control system: The equipment used to control the stability of the emulsion. The emulsion control system can be provided by a viscometer, a centrifuge, or an optical sensor.
Emulsion Tank Design
The design of an emulsion tank varies depending on the application area and process requirements. The size, capacity,mixer type, heating/cooling system, and emulsion control system of the tank are selected based on the application.
Emulsion Tank Manufacturing
The emulsion tank body and other components are joined using the appropriate welding method.
Emulsion Tank Tests
Emulsion tanks must undergo various tests after manufacturing. These tests are used to evaluate the performance and durability of the tank.
-
Performance tests: These tests evaluate the tank's ability to mix and homogenize liquids.
-
Durability tests: These tests evaluate the tank's resistance to pressure, wear, and corrosion.
