At Snergy spray, we design and manufacture agitation tanks specially tailored for dairy processing plants. Built with food-grade materials and compliant with global hygiene standards, our tanks ensure uniform blending, temperature control, and gentle agitation of dairy liquids, supporting a wide range of applications such as milk standardization, cream blending, yogurt preparation, and flavored milk production.
What is an Agitation Tank in Dairy Processing?
An agitation tank is a specialized vessel fitted with mechanical agitators that keep dairy liquids uniformly mixed. It plays a critical role in:
- Preventing fat separation and sedimentation
- Distributing flavors, cultures, and additives evenly
- Maintaining precise temperature conditions for pasteurization and fermentation
