Industrial mixing system — blending, dissolving and syrup rooms
MCF Technology engineers industrial mixing systems as complete rooms: agitated tanks with the right impeller geometry, high-shear units for powders and stabilisers, sugar dissolving, in-line blending with mass-flow dosing and automatic CIP. Mixing is where recipe repeatability is won or lost, so every unit is sized on viscosity, solid content and batch time — not on tank volume alone.
What MCF Technology supplies
- Agitated mixing and storage tanks from 500 to 30 000 l, insulated or jacketed
- Impeller selection per duty: propeller, anchor with scraper, turbine, magnetic
- High-shear dissolver / powder inductor for pectin, stabilisers, proteins and cocoa
- Sugar dissolving with continuous syrup room and filtration
- In-line blending with mass-flow meters, deaeration and carbonation
- Recipe management on PLC/SCADA with batch traceability and automatic CIP
Typical outputs
- Soft drinks and flavoured water syrups
- Nectars and blended juices
- Sauces, ketchup and mayonnaise bases
- Dairy and plant-based mixes
- Jam, filling and cream preparations

Mixing and blending process, step by step
From raw ingredients to a repeatable recipe in the buffer tank. Every step is sized on viscosity, solid content and the batch time the line can afford between fillings.
- 1
Ingredient reception and weighing
Load cells ±0.2% · bag tip stations
Powders, sugar and concentrates are weighed on the tank or on a dedicated station, so every batch starts from a recorded quantity, not from an operator estimate.
- 2
Sugar dissolving
Cold or hot dissolving · 55–65° Brix syrup
Sugar is dissolved in continuous or batch mode, filtered and stored as simple syrup; hot dissolving is used when microbiological stability of the syrup room matters.
- 3
Powder induction and high shear
Rotor/stator 3 000–3 600 rpm · vacuum inductor
Pectin, gums, stabilisers and proteins are wetted inside the liquid stream: this is what removes lumps and fish-eyes that no downstream step can fix.
- 4
Batch mixing
500–30 000 l · anchor, turbine or propeller
Impeller and speed are chosen on viscosity; jacketed tanks control temperature during hydration, dissolving or acidification.
- 5
Recipe blending and dosing
Mass-flow dosing ±0.5% · in-line up to 60 000 l/h
Finished syrup, water and additives are blended in line or in batch with mass-flow control, then deaerated and, if required, carbonated.
- 6
Buffer, transfer and traceability
Buffered tanks · PLC/SCADA batch report
The blended product is buffered ahead of thermal treatment and filling; each batch carries its recipe, quantities and operator in the report.
- 7
CIP and changeover
Automatic CIP recipes · conductivity control
Spray devices sized on tank geometry, recorded CIP cycles and short changeover sequences so recipe switches do not eat production hours.
Mixing rooms in operation
Agitated tanks, high-shear dissolving and the syrup room: the three blocks that make a recipe repeatable batch after batch.

Technical FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which agitator suits a viscous product?
Above roughly 5 000 cP a propeller no longer moves the whole mass: MCF uses an anchor agitator with wall scrapers, often combined with a counter-rotating turbine or a recirculation loop through a high-shear head.
How are powders added without lumps?
Through a powder inductor under vacuum plus a high-shear rotor/stator: the powder is wetted in the liquid stream instead of on the surface, which removes fish-eyes on pectin, gums and proteins.
Batch mixing or in-line blending?
Batch mixing is the right choice for many recipes, frequent changeovers and small volumes. In-line blending with mass-flow dosing is more efficient above about 20 000 l/h of a stable recipe and removes intermediate storage.
Do you supply the syrup room too?
Yes: sugar dissolving (cold or hot), filtration, simple and finished syrup tanks, dosing loop toward the filler, all with the same automation as the process line.
How is CIP handled on mixing tanks?
Rotary spray balls or jets sized on tank geometry, with return pump, conductivity control and recorded recipes — the same CIP station serves the mixing room and the downstream line.
Can the mixing room be integrated into an existing plant?
Yes. MCF surveys the existing tanks, utilities and automation, then supplies the missing modules with a shared control layer so recipes and reports stay in one system.
