Open mixing tank certainly can't remove air through vacuum like sealed equipment. However, if bubbles are affecting product quality, the following methods can be used to improve the process:

Process Adjustment: Reduce the mixing speed to prevent excessive air from being drawn into the material by high-speed turbulence. If homogenization is required, proceed in stages to reduce bubbles generated by a single shearing operation.

Assisted Degassing: For materials that can be heated, increase the temperature appropriately to reduce viscosity and promote bubble bubbling. Alternatively, allow the material to rest for a period of time after mixing to allow bubbles to dissipate naturally before proceeding to the next step.

Suitable Applications: This equipment is more suitable for products that are not sensitive to bubbles. For precision products requiring bubble-free production, a model with a vacuum function is recommended.

Common causes include: ① Insufficient freezing (low temperature or too short a freezing time); ② Clogged filter element or overly large pore size; ③ Uneven material flow leading to insufficient localized condensation. Solution: Extend the freezing time, replace the 0.1μm precision filter element, check the pipes for blockage, and optimize flow control.

The vacuum homogenizer's operating process revolves around four core steps: vacuum degassing, high-speed homogenization and emulsification, stirring and mixing, and temperature control. Through the coordinated operation of multiple systems, it achieves refined material processing. The following is its specific operating principle and process:

1. Pretreatment: Material feeding and vacuum environment establishment

Material preparation: First, add the basic materials, such as the oil phase (such as oils and waxes) and the aqueous phase (such as water and water-soluble ingredients), to their corresponding batching tanks or directly into the main emulsifier in sequence.

Evacuation: Activate the vacuum system (consisting of a vacuum pump, vacuum valve, etc.) to evacuate the interior of the emulsifier, creating a negative pressure environment (typically up to -0.09 MPa).

2. Core Process: Temperature Control (Heating/Cooling)

3. Core Process: Agitation and Mixing

Agitation Structure: Typically uses a "frame agitator + scraper" combination (for high-viscosity materials):

Through shearing, folding, and convection, the different materials are initially mixed and their stratification is broken down.

The PTFE scraper rotates closely against the pot wall, thoroughly scraping away any sticky material adhering to the pot wall, preventing localized overheating and residue, and ensuring zero dead zones.

4. Core Process: High-Speed Homogenization and Emulsification

Homogenizer Structure: A high-speed rotating homogenizer is installed at the bottom (or side) of the emulsifier, consisting of a rotor (with sharp teeth) and a stator (with fixed teeth). Working Principle: The rotor rotates at an extremely high speed, generating a strong centrifugal force that draws the material into the gap between the rotor and the stator. In this gap, the material is subjected to the triple effects of shear force, impact force, and turbulent force. The teeth of the rotor and stator quickly cut the material and generate high-frequency vibrations.
