Stainless Steel Mixing & Blending Vessels

Fabdec designs and manufactures bespoke stainless steel mixing vessels for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and chemical applications. Each vessel is developed around the product, batch capacity and required process result.

Options include integrated agitators, high-shear mixers, heating and cooling jackets, hygienic fittings, insulation, instrumentation and automated controls. Vessel geometry and internal components can also be adapted to suit cleaning, discharge and installation requirements.

Final specifications are confirmed during the design stage based on the product characteristics, batch volume, viscosity, operating temperature, mixing time and required level of shear.

Why Choose Fabdec Mixing Vessels?

Fabdec mixing and blending tanks are designed around the process rather than selected from a fixed range. This allows the vessel geometry, agitation system and fittings to be matched closely to the material being handled.

For temperature-sensitive products, heating or cooling surfaces can be integrated into the vessel body. Controls and instrumentation can also be incorporated to support consistent batch conditions and repeatable production.

From small product-development vessels to larger production systems, each unit is manufactured in Britain using stainless steel construction suited to demanding industrial and hygienic environments.
