Description
Used J.C. Pardo 13 gallon (50 liter) jacketed and vacuum-rated kettle designed for high-performance mixing, homogenization, and thermal processing in sanitary environments. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, this unit is ideal for cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and specialty chemical applications.
Equipped with a Greerco Agi-Mixer triple motion system, the kettle features a counter-rotating sweep mixer with scrapers and an integrated high shear homogenizer for superior mixing efficiency and product uniformity. The vessel is rated for full vacuum internally, with a jacket rated to 40 PSI at 300°F, enabling precise heating and cooling control.
The system has been fully tested with water—jacket pressure tested and vessel vacuum tested—with no leaks observed. The homogenizer, inner and outer paddles, RPM meters, and hydraulic cover lifting system are all functional. The top drive motor has been disconnected for removal.
Notes:

Chart recorder and hour meter are not operational
Outer paddles must be jogged (amber light) to index before opening cover
Limit switch must be properly positioned for operation and lifting
