Mixing large beverage tanks with a bottom-entry mixer

A Victorian-based food processor had a requirement to mix increasing volumes of a non-dairy milk but had limited resources or space to expand. It asked the Teralba technical team to assess whether or not it was possible to use some old 220,000 L milk silos and install agitation.

The key criteria to convert the old milk tanks into mixing vessels for non-dairy milk included ground level installation and servicing; and the ability to mix from full 220,000 L down to 5000 L.

The solution: Mixquip Series 500 Bottom Entry Agitators

Teralba has expanded its range of Mixquip Series 500 Bottom Entry Agitators.

A bottom-entry mounting configuration provide a powerful axial flow up through the contents of the tank. Combined with a level sensor and variable speed drive, Mixquip Bottom Entry Mixers have the ability to mix down to less than 5% of the total tank volume.

A further advantage is the compact design and short shaft, which mean lower capital costs than a traditional top-entry agitator.
