Process tanks for mixing, cooking, and cooling applications

Efficiently tackle viscous product challenges with advanced mixing, cooking, and cooling capabilities designed to maintain product integrity and optimize ingredient incorporation in your production line.

Processes and Emulsifies Viscous Food Products

The PCSD 15 and OAM from Soren are versatile process tank systems designed specifically for handling high viscosity food products such as margarine, pesto sauce, and mayonnaise. What sets these tanks apart is their dual-functionality in mixing and emulsifying, ensuring optimal consistency in viscous products. The PCSD 15 utilizes a unique combination of anchor agitators and a bottom cowless impeller, allowing it to handle up to 70% powder content smoothly. Its electroemulsifier option integrates seamlessly for stable water and oil phase emulsifications. These tanks are crafted from AISI 316L for superior corrosion resistance, making them ideal for diverse food, dairy, and confectionery applications. Equipped with hand-welded double jackets for efficient heat transfer, they maintain product integrity by preventing exposure to temperature spikes. Automated controls facilitate both batch and continuous operations, ensuring adherence to stringent hygiene standards with CIP connections. Customization of agitator speed and tank design is available, supported by Soren’s engineering expertise, ensuring these tanks integrate effortlessly into your production line.
