Cleaning & service
Identify baffles, shaft seals and ingredient ports where residues can remain; test cleaning after the most persistent product.
Processing equipment / Batch
Distribute added ingredients while preserving the intended sauce texture.
What it does
A vessel with a specified agitator, addition points, sampling access and a drainable outlet forms the blending duty.
A gentle agitator protects visible pieces; a higher-shear arrangement may suit a smooth dispersion. Select against measured viscosity and ingredient addition behaviour.
A blending tank is not automatically an emulsifier. Oil-rich or difficult-to-wet additions need sample confirmation and possibly a separate module.
| Selection parameter | Information to establish |
|---|---|
| Mixing task | Dispersion, gentle suspension or emulsification |
| Product window | Viscosity, temperature and inclusion size |
| Batch basis | Finished mass versus vessel working volume |

Plan weighing or metering, powder handling, operator access and the pump inlet without creating long transfer holds.
Sample at multiple locations and times; examine solids distribution, oil separation and particle breakage.
