Used Vendome 1,000 Gallon Stainless Steel Processor With Dual Agitation

MANUFACTURER INFORMATION
Vendome manufactures stainless steel process vessels, tanks and related processing equipment used in food, beverage, dairy, chemical and sanitary process applications. Jacketed processors equipped with scrape agitation and high-shear homogenizing mixers are commonly used where products require both bulk blending and intensive dispersion or emulsification.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Used Vendome 1,000-gallon stainless steel processor with dual agitation, built March 2004, National Board #299. The vessel measures approximately 72" diameter x 60" straight side with dished top and bottom and is mounted on four stainless steel pipe legs. Bottom and sidewall surfaces are equipped with dimple jackets rated for 100 PSI at 338°F. The bottom jacket includes two 2" RFSO flanged connections, while the side jacket has four 2" RFSO flanged inlet/outlet connections. The mixing system combines a 5 HP side scrape agitator with a 50 HP top-entering homogenizing mixer requiring 230/460 VAC, 3-phase electrical service. One adjustable baffle is installed inside the vessel. Product discharge is through a 3" tri-clamp bottom outlet. The top head includes an 18" hinged-lid manway, one 6" x 18" rectangular inlet, one 6" tri-clamp nozzle, one 4" sight glass, three 3" nozzles, five 2" nozzles and one 1" nozzle. The outer jacket skin has some dents and repairs; the jackets have passed hydro testing. Possible applications include mixing, homogenizing, blending, heating and cooling of compatible sauces, dressings, creams, lotions, emulsions, slurries and other liquid or viscous food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and general process products.

FAQ

WHAT IS THE CAPACITY OF THIS VENDOME PROCESSOR?
The vessel has a stated capacity of approximately 1,000 gallons.

WHAT TYPE OF AGITATION DOES THE PROCESSOR HAVE?
The vessel has dual agitation consisting of a 5 HP side scrape agitator and a 50 HP top-entering homogenizing mixer.

WHY IS DUAL AGITATION USEFUL?
The scrape agitator helps move bulk product and maintain wall contact, while the high-shear homogenizer can provide more intensive dispersion, emulsification and particle-size reduction for compatible products.

IS THE VESSEL JACKETED?
Yes. Both the sidewall and bottom are equipped with dimple jackets.

WHAT IS THE JACKET RATING?
The jackets are rated for 100 PSI at 338°F.

HAVE THE JACKETS BEEN TESTED?
Yes. The listing states that the jackets passed hydro testing.

WHAT SIZE IS THE BOTTOM DISCHARGE?
The processor has a 3" tri-clamp bottom discharge.

DOES THE VESSEL HAVE A BAFFLE?
Yes. One adjustable internal baffle is included.

WHAT POWER DOES THE HOMOGENIZER REQUIRE?
The 50 HP homogenizing mixer requires 230/460 VAC, 3-phase electrical service.

CAN THIS PROCESSOR HANDLE VISCOUS PRODUCTS?
The combination of scrape agitation and high-shear homogenization makes this type of vessel suitable for consideration in many viscous or semi-viscous applications, depending on product properties and process conditions.

CAN THIS UNIT BE USED FOR EMULSIONS?
Yes. Possible applications include compatible emulsions, creams, lotions, sauces and other products requiring both blending and high-shear homogenization.

CAN AARON EQUIPMENT HELP DETERMINE IF THIS PROCESSOR WILL WORK FOR MY PRODUCT?
Yes. Aaron Equipment can help review your product viscosity, batch size, homogenization requirements, heating or cooling needs and sanitary requirements to determine whether this Vendome processor may be suitable for your application.

CAN AARON EQUIPMENT ARRANGE SHIPPING?
Yes. Aaron Equipment can assist with freight, loading and shipping coordination for domestic or international destinations. Contact Aaron Equipment with your delivery location for shipping assistance.
