Manufacturer Information
APV Crepaco
APV Crepaco equipment has been widely used for industrial food, dairy, beverage, and sanitary processing applications. Its stainless steel processing vessels and liquifiers are designed for operations such as ingredient incorporation, blending, dispersion, emulsification, and batch preparation.
This approximately 500-gallon stainless steel liquifier combines a 7.5 HP top-mounted sweep agitator with a 25 HP bottom-entering high-speed agitator, providing both bulk product movement and high-shear mixing capability.
Description
Available for sale is a used APV Crepaco stainless steel liquifier with an approximate 500-gallon capacity, built in 1995.
The vessel has an atmospheric internal design and is equipped with a heating/cooling jacket rated for 75 PSI at 350°F. This configuration allows compatible heating or cooling media to be circulated through the jacket for temperature-controlled processing.
The dual-agitation system consists of a 7.5 HP top-mounted drive for sweep agitation and a 25 HP bottom-entering high-speed agitator. The sweep agitator promotes bulk circulation throughout the vessel, while the high-speed bottom agitator can provide more intensive mixing, dispersion, and ingredient incorporation.
The stainless steel vessel features a dished top and conical bottom, with approximate dimensions of 60" diameter x 36" straight side plus an 18" conical bottom.
This APV Crepaco liquifier may be well suited for processing applications involving sauces, dressings, dairy products, beverage ingredients, batters, emulsions, liquid food formulations, and other compatible products requiring both sweep and high-speed agitation.
