What is a Water Jacketed Mixing Vessel?
A vessel where control over temperature is required – either heating, cooling or both. When heating to temperatures up to 65°C, it is not necessary to insulate the vessel, but above this you will require an insulation layer. In essence, the insulation layer is another jacket, with air in it to prevent extremely hot surfaces.
In some instances, it may be necessary to insulate if you are cooling, to ensure you don’t lose so much energy.
Temperature control can be achieved in different ways depending on your application:
- Immersion heaters – for heating only
- Temperature control units (TCU) – ideal for applications requiring both heating and cooling, or those who require a more precise degree of temperature control
Which Applications Require a Water Jacketed Mixing Container?
Many food products need to maintain a high temperature for pasteurisation; above 85-90°C generally.
Products such as jams also require heating during the production process, as if they are left to cool they can become unmanageable in later production stages such as filling. This also applies to cosmetic products which utilise wax as an ingredient, such as skincare creams or balms.
In the pharmaceutical industry, some ingredients only activate at higher temperatures.
