Industrial tank mixer for high-volume containers

Optimize your mixing processes with a robust solution designed for high-volume containers, offering superior agitation and homogenization capabilities to enhance production efficiency in demanding industrial environments.

Mixes and Homogenizes Liquid and Slurry Products

The VISCO JET® VJ500 from VISCO JET Rührsysteme GmbH is a robust top-mounted tank stirrer designed to cater to a wide range of industries including glass, ceramics, plastics, and food and beverages. Engineered for precision, the VJ500 facilitates efficient mixing, blending, and homogenization processes by employing a sophisticated stirring mechanism, optimized for low-speed operation to enhance energy efficiency and reduce wear. Its versatility is evident in its ability to adapt to various container sizes, supporting production from as little as 10 liters to large-scale setups up to 1.5 million liters. Constructed with high-grade stainless steel such as 1.4301, 1.4404, and 1.4571, it ensures durability and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for challenging environments. The VJ500 is compliant with EU machinery directives and can be configured for ATEX Zone 0 applications, ensuring safe operations in potentially explosive atmospheres. Its modular design allows for seamless integration into existing production lines, and features such as a CIP-compatible design ensure easy maintenance and cleaning, promoting longevity and operational reliability. With a focus on customization, the VJ500 offers extensive adaptations including variable motor power, agitation systems, and sealing solutions to meet specific client requirements, supported by expert engineering guidance to optimize your production processes.
