DEGONG Stainless Steel Mixing Tanks: The Key To Efficient, Hygienic, And Reliable Production

Introduction

In modern production, consistency, hygiene, and efficiency define product quality. A reliable stainless steel mixing tank is the foundation of every smooth process. Poor-quality vessels can cause unstable batches, contamination, and higher maintenance costs.

DEGONG stainless steel mixing and storage tanks provide long-lasting performance, excellent corrosion resistance, and perfect cleanliness. They are widely used in food & beverage, dairy, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and chemical industries—anywhere precise, sanitary mixing and temperature control are essential.

1. Why Stainless Steel Is the Best Choice

Stainless steel has become the gold standard for industrial mixing and storage because it combines strength, safety, and cleanliness.

Main advantages:

• Corrosion resistance: 304 and 316L stainless steel resist acids, cleaning agents, and oxidation.

• Durability: Tanks endure thermal stress, vibration, and frequent CIP (Clean-in-Place) cycles without deformation.

• Hygienic surface: Smooth, non-porous interiors prevent bacterial growth and are easy to sterilize.

• Product purity: The non-reactive surface keeps flavor, color, and chemical composition intact.

• Thermal control: Stainless steel supports heating/cooling jackets for pasteurization, fermentation, or temperature-sensitive processing.

With decades of manufacturing experience, DEGONG ensures every tank meets international food-grade and pressure vessel standards for maximum reliability.

2. Industry Applications

Each industry demands unique mixing performance, and DEGONG provides custom-engineered solutions:

• Food & Beverage: Ideal for mixing syrup, juice, beer, and dairy products, with optional dimple jackets for pasteurization or fermentation.

• Pharmaceutical & Biotech: 316L grade with mirror polishing, sanitary fittings, and full GMP documentation.

• Chemical & Industrial: Built to handle viscosity, high pressure, and corrosive chemicals with reinforced shells and specialty agitators.

• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Anchor and scraper mixers deliver uniform blending for creams and lotions.

Whether small-batch or large-scale, DEGONG designs each tank to suit the exact process and hygiene requirements.

3. Selecting the Right Configuration

(1) Agitator Types

Choosing the proper agitator determines mixing efficiency:

• Propeller – for low-viscosity liquids

• Paddle – gentle agitation for dairy or beverages

• Turbine – solid suspension and emulsification

• Anchor / Scraper – high-viscosity creams and pastes

• High-shear – powder dispersion and emulsions

(2) Jacketed vs Single-Wall

If your process requires temperature control, select a jacketed mixing tank.

• Single-wall: simple storage or ambient blending.

• Jacketed: circulates glycol, steam, or cooling water to heat or chill the product.

• Options: dimple jacket (efficient heat transfer), half-pipe coil (for pressure), or full shell jacket.

(3) Tank Capacity

From 50 L to 20 000 L and beyond, DEGONG helps size your tank based on batch volume, floor space, and process flow—balancing investment and efficiency.

4. Custom Design & Fabrication

Every DEGONG stainless steel mixing tank can be tailored to your production needs:

• Dimensions and shape (tall-slim / wide-shallow)

• Inlet/outlet ports, sampling valves, tri-clamp connections

• Cone or sloped bottoms for full drainage

• CIP spray balls and sanitary manholes

• Multi-zone jackets with insulation

• Interior polish (2B, #4 or mirror finish)

• Sight glass, ladders, and platforms for safe operation

A customized tank is not just equipment—it’s a precise part of your production system designed for long-term reliability.

5. Hygiene & Quality Control

For food, beverage, and pharma applications, sanitary design is non-negotiable.

• DEGONG tanks feature:

• Food-grade 304 / 316L stainless steel

• Smooth internal welds with no crevices

• 100 % drainable cone bottom

• CIP / SIP compatibility

• Easy inspection and maintenance

These ensure safety, easier cleaning, and compliance with global hygiene standards.

6. New vs Used Tanks

Used tanks may seem cheaper but bring risk—unknown contamination, fatigue, or wrong design. A new DEGONG custom tank offers:

• Certified materials and sanitary finish

• Proper capacity and fittings

• Full documentation, warranty, and parts availability

• Consistent long-term performance

Conclusion

A stainless steel mixing tank is more than a container—it’s the core of a clean, stable, and efficient production line.
