Open-Top Tanks

Cost-effective, sanitary tanks for holding, mixing, or batching.
Configurable with flat, conical, or sloped bottoms for easy discharge.
Often used in food, beverage, and cosmetics industries where open access is acceptable.

Kettles (Cook & Chill or Heating & Cooling)

Jacketed kettles with hemispherical, dished, or sloped bottoms for even heat transfer.
Cook & chill kettles allow direct thermal cycling, ideal for soups, sauces, and ready meals.
Designed for quick heat-up and cool-down with minimal energy loss.

Pressure & Vacuum Reactors

PED/ASME-certified pressure vessels for chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
Options for vacuum operation, inert gas blanketing, or positive pressure.
Configurable with a wide range of agitation systems.

Specialised Vessels

Fermenters, crystallisers, or dissolving tanks with tailored agitation.
High-shear, dispersion, or homogenisation options.
CIP/SIP-ready builds for food & pharma applications.

PerMix tanks and vessels can be supplied with:

Dimple jackets, half-pipe coils, or conventional jackets
Heating/cooling via steam, water, or thermal oil
Multi-zone control for precise thermal management
Insulation and cladding for safety and efficiency

These features ensure repeatable performance in temperature-sensitive processes.

We integrate more than 14 agitation systems depending on your process:

Simple propellers or anchors for liquid blending
Scraper agitators for viscous materials that tend to stick
High-shear mixers and homogenisers for emulsions and dispersions
Multi-motion or dual-shaft systems for complex reactions

Agitation can be combined with vacuum, pressure, or thermal control for fully integrated process reactors.

304 / 316L Stainless Steel for most hygienic applications
Hastelloy, Duplex, or Titanium for aggressive chemistries
Carbon steel with coatings for budget-conscious projects
Surfaces available in 2B finish, food-grade polish, mirror polish, or electropolish

All builds are documented and certifiable to UKCA, CE, PED, and ATEX requirements.

CIP (Clean-in-Place) with spray balls or rotating nozzles
SIP (Sterilisation-in-Place) for pharmaceutical and biotech vessels
Crevice-free welds, polished internals, hygienic valves and fittings
Fast changeover designs to support multi-product operations

Food & Beverage: soups, sauces, ready meals, confectionery, dairy
Pharmaceuticals: sterile solutions, suspensions, API reactors
Cosmetics & Personal Care: creams, lotions, gels
Chemicals & Specialties: adhesives, resins, catalysts, emulsions

Example: A UK ready-meal producer uses PerMix cook & chill kettles to batch sauces, then cool them rapidly for packaging — all under hygienic, BRC-compliant design.

Regulatory assurance: UKCA, CE, PED, ATEX compliance built-in
Thermal precision: multi-zone jackets for exact control
Agitation flexibility: tailored to product behaviour
Hygienic design: easy cleaning, validation-ready
Energy efficiency: optimised jackets and insulation
Local lifecycle support: design, commissioning, and aftersales from UK team

When configuring, consider:

Batch size and working volume
Pressure/vacuum requirements
Heating/cooling media and ΔT needs
Agitation type for product viscosity and shear sensitivity
Cleaning/validation requirements (CIP/SIP)
Hazard zoning (ATEX/DSEAR if solvents present)
Integration with upstream/downstream systems

Our UK engineers help translate your process requirements into compliant, efficient vessel designs.

PerMix UK supplies tanks, kettles, vessels, and reactors that combine performance with compliance.

Contact PerMix UK with your process details — volume, pressure, thermal, and hygiene requirements — and we’ll design a vessel or reactor tailored to your UK/EU facility.
