Flexible small-batch production

Mobile Stainless Steel Mixing Tank

A compact wheeled mixing vessel for small batches, pilot work and flexible movement between compatible production stations.

Quick answer

What this equipment is designed to do.

A mobile stainless steel mixing tank combines a small-batch vessel, agitator and lockable castors so one unit can serve compatible work areas. Capacities around 100–1000 litres are often evaluated, with final size limited by product load, floor conditions and safe handling.

Mobility affects the entire design. Filled weight, centre of gravity, doorway clearance, hoses, power connection, braking and operator route must be considered alongside the mixing duty.

Vessentra configures the frame, handles, castors, lid, agitator and discharge around the intended batch sequence. Movement rules and suitability of the operating floor remain part of the site risk assessment.

Engineering configuration

Configured around your duty.

The equipment is developed from process inputs, operating conditions, cleaning requirements and site interfaces.

01

Capacity and payload

Working volume, product density and equipment weight are checked against mobility and floor-loading constraints.

02

Agitator and lid

Compact drive, impeller, guard and lid arrangement are selected for the product and operator interface.

03

Mobile base

Frame, handles and braked castors are configured for the intended route and clean production environment.

04

Utilities and transfer

Power, earthing, flexible hoses, outlet position and pump connection are coordinated with each workstation.

Specification guidance

Define the operating basis before fabrication.

Project limits are confirmed through engineering review. These fields describe the decisions needed for an accurate, application-specific configuration.

Capacity range Commonly evaluated around 100–1000 L
Mobility Braked castors and project-specific frame
Product-contact material Stainless steel selected for compatibility
Agitator Compact duty-matched arrangement
Speed control Fixed or variable speed option
Lid and guarding Configured for process and operator needs
Discharge Drainable outlet and transfer options
Cleaning Manual or project-specific CIP-ready design

Common questions

Answers for project planning.

What size mobile mixing tank should I choose?

Size the tank from usable batch volume, required headspace, product density, mixing level and the maximum safe mobile load for the route and floor.

Can a filled mobile tank be moved?

That depends on total weight, centre of gravity, castors, floor condition, gradients, obstacles and the site handling assessment. The intended movement state must be defined during design.

Can variable-speed mixing be included?

Yes. A suitable drive and control can be selected when the required speed range, power supply, environment and operator controls are known.

What information is needed about the work area?

Provide doorway widths, floor type, gradients, drains, available utilities, operating stations, cleaning area and any hazardous-area or hygiene constraints.
