Industrial mixers
Sterile process mixer reactor
Process vessel with hygienic construction for pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, nutraceuticals, food ingredients and cosmetics: AISI 316L in product contact, sanitary polished surfaces, a hygienic mechanical seal and CIP/SIP. Built routinely between approx. 500 and 20,000 L.
- Usual configurable range
- approx. 500 – 20,000 L
- Usual installed power
- approx. 5.5 – 110 kW
Also known as: sanitary reactor · hygienic process vessel · aseptic mixing vessel · GMP-oriented process reactor
Individually sized on your material and your process. Technical proposal and price normally within 48 hours. Delivery across the EU and the Republic of Moldova.
How it works
What separates this from an ordinary industrial reactor is not the mixing principle but everything to do with cleaning. Every sharp corner, every exposed thread and every stretch of pipe that holds liquid after draining is a place where contamination develops. So the construction is defined by geometry: sanitary connections, generous internal radii, welded and ground joints, no zones where product can stagnate.
Product contact surfaces are built in AISI 316L and polished, because a rough surface holds product in microcavities that washing never reaches. The shaft seal is mechanical, in a hygienic version — a conventional packed gland is a source of contamination by its very construction.
The system is completed with CIP for closed-circuit washing and SIP for steam sterilisation, a heating and cooling jacket, sterile connections for transfers and, on request, a vacuum or pressure regime defined at design stage. We build hygienic designs oriented to GMP requirements, and we supply the equipment technical file: material certificates, welding records and test protocols. Validation and certification of your installation are achieved through qualification on site — they are not properties of the machine itself.
Sanitary polished AISI 316L
A smooth product contact surface: a rough one holds product in microcavities that washing never reaches.
No retention pockets
Sanitary connections, generous internal radii, welded and ground joints — geometry decides whether the vessel can be cleaned.
Hygienic mechanical seal
The alternative to a packed gland, which by construction is a source of contamination.
CIP and SIP
Closed-circuit washing and steam sterilisation, with no dismantling between lots.
When to choose it
The concrete situations in which this machine is the right answer — and the one in which we would point you to something else in our range.
The product is intended for human consumption or for application to skin, and cleaning between lots has to be demonstrable, not merely performed.
You change product frequently and dismantling for every lot would stop the line for too long: CIP washes in a closed circuit, without opening the vessel.
The process requires steam sterilisation before every lot.
You need batch traceability — temperature, time, dosing — for the batch record.
When this is NOT the right machine
If the product is technical and carries no hygiene requirements, you are paying for polishing, sanitary connections and CIP without gaining anything in the process.
