What is an Electrically Heated Stirring Tank?

An ‌electrically heated stirring tank‌ (or ‌electrically heated mixing tank‌) is an industrial vessel equipped with an electric heating system and an agitation mechanism. It is widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, food processing, and biotechnology industries for processes requiring precise temperature control and uniform mixing.

‌Key Features‌:

1. ‌Electric Heating‌: Utilizes electric heating elements (e.g., resistance coils, jackets, or immersion heaters) to heat materials inside the tank.
2. ‌Agitation System‌: Includes impellers, paddles, or propellers to mix liquids, solids, or gases, ensuring homogeneity and enhancing heat transfer.
3. ‌Temperature Control‌: Integrated sensors and controllers maintain stable temperatures for reactions, fermentation, or dissolution.
4. ‌Material Compatibility‌: Often made of corrosion-resistant materials (e.g., stainless steel 304/316L) for durability in harsh environments.

‌Applications‌:

• Chemical synthesis and reactions
• Pharmaceutical drug formulation
• Food and beverage processing (e.g., sauces, syrups)
• Batch mixing and heating of viscous or sensitive materials

‌Advantages‌:

• Energy-efficient heating with precise temperature regulation.
• Reduced contamination risk compared to fuel-based heating.
• Scalability for industrial or laboratory use.
