An emulsification tank is used to blend two liquids that normally don’t mix, such as oil and water. It uses mixing and shearing to break one liquid into tiny droplets and evenly disperse them, creating a stable emulsion.
High-Speed Mixing:
A rotor-stator or similar mixer spins rapidly, creating shear force that forms tiny droplets.
Uniform Blending:
The droplets are evenly spread throughout the mixture, preventing separation over time.
Optional Emulsifiers:
Additives like lecithin or surfactants can improve emulsion stability.
Vacuum System:
Removing air helps reduce bubbles and improves the emulsion’s clarity and shelf life.
Final Output:
Once the emulsion is consistent, it’s discharged through a valve for packaging or further processing.
