Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding tank technology, and in particular to a feeding tank. Background Technology

[0002] The production of toiletries such as shampoos and shower gels often requires emulsification, a process that mixes two or more immiscible liquids. Emulsification not only improves the sensory properties of the product, such as texture and appearance, but also enhances the stability and bioavailability of the ingredients. To achieve effective emulsification, specialized equipment such as feeding tanks is typically used for the feeding emulsification process, which promotes the dispersion and mixing of different phases through mechanical agitation, high shear forces, or other methods.

[0003] In existing feeding tanks, when the stirring speed is too high, the mixture shakes violently, inevitably introducing air into the mixture and forming bubbles. This creates a three-phase system, resulting in an unstable emulsion. The upper limit of the stirring speed in conventional emulsification devices is severely limited by the influence of air. Furthermore, the viscous residue of the mixture remaining on the inner wall of the tank adheres to the wall, further hindering the improvement of emulsification efficiency. Therefore, further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

Combined with the discrete cutter disc 53 of the discrete component 50, high-speed shearing is maintained while reducing air trapping, effectively preventing the formation of a three-phase system. The side plate of the wall scraping mechanism 60 can scrape off the mixture adhering to the tank wall, increasing the emulsification mixing rate of the mixture.
