A mixing tank blends, dissolves, disperses, emulsifies and homogenises. How well it does that depends on matching the agitator, the tank proportions and the jacket to your product — not on the volume. L&B builds mixing tanks in 304 and 316L stainless steel, in single-layer, insulated, electric-heated and steam-heated versions, with hollow, half-pipe coil, dimple or pillow-p...

A storage tank holds product, buffers between process steps, and keeps it at temperature. Nothing inside it moves — so the design question is not agitation but hygiene: whether the vessel drains completely, whether it can be cleaned properly, and whether the product is protected while it sits. L&B builds storage tanks in 304 and 316L stainless steel, vertical or horizontal,...

An emulsifying tank does not simply mix — it reduces one phase into another. The defining component is a high-shear rotor-stator head, and success is measured in droplet size and emulsion stability, not in how thoroughly the contents were stirred. L&B builds emulsifying tanks in 304 and 316L stainless steel around a jacketed vessel that heats and cools. Configurations inclu...

A CIP system cleans tanks, pipelines, fillers, pumps and heat exchangers without dismantling them. Clean-in-place comes down to four things working together — time, temperature, concentration and mechanical action — and getting any one of them wrong leaves the circuit dirty. Flow rate is the one most often underestimated: high concentration at low velocity will not clean a pipe...

A cooking kettle cooks through the wall, not through a flame. Heat comes from a jacket surrounding the pot, so the product never meets a direct heat source — which is what lets you reduce a sauce, braise meat or cook a jam without scorching it. That is the whole point of a jacketed kettle, and it is the first thing worth understanding about one. L&B builds industrial cookin...
