Overview:
This listing describes an Armfield Multi‑Purpose Processing Vessel designed for laboratory-scale food processing tasks including pasteurising, cooling, chilling, curing, emulsifying, reconstituting, incubating and mixing. The unit is a mobile, hygienically finished stainless steel jacketed vessel with a working capacity stated as between 10 and 15 litres.
Heating and temperature control:
Heat is supplied indirectly to the vessel contents via a cartridge heater located in the base of the jacket. A thermostat protects the heater from over‑temperature. Multiple thermocouples are provided for temperature measurement and indication on the control console.
Cooling and chilling:
Cooling via a domestic water supply or chilled closed‑circuit water is accommodated by an automatic valve changeover system that selects open‑circuit (domestic) or closed‑circuit (ice‑bank) cooling. A flowmeter and a manual control valve allow adjustment of the jacket coolant flow. An ice bank circulator located beneath the processing vessel provides chilled water for closed‑circuit cooling. An in‑line non‑return valve and a pre‑set pressure relief valve are incorporated in the cooling inlet to protect the jacket from overpressure.
Mixing and emulsification:
The unit includes an emulsifier with a variable speed drive and interchangeable emulsor heads that can be lowered into or raised out of the vessel. The emulsifier’s on/off and speed controls are located on the motor housing; a running indicator light is provided. A lid is supplied to reduce airborne contamination during extended heat treatment.
Mobility and safety:
The vessel is mounted on castors; brakes on two wheels can be locked to prevent movement.
Included/associated items and condition:
A Silverson High Speed Vortex Mixer (capacity listed as 40 litres) is noted with this listing. The equipment is described as previously used by a university for food processing and the stated condition is “Good.” Spare parts are identified as Armfield UK.
Notes:
All specifications and component descriptions are taken from the provided product information. No additional testing, operational status or performance claims are stated here.

General Overview
Pasteurising, cooling, chilling, curing, emulsifying, reconstituting, incubating and mixing are all processes essential in the food processing laboratory. The Armfield Multi-Purpose Processing Vessel is capable of carrying out all of these functions as a self-contained,mobile unit. Its mobility allows it to be positioned in the laboratory adjacent to other equipment that it may be acting as a service to, and also makes it easily stowable. The hygienically designed jacketed vessel has a working capacity of between 10 and 15 litres which allows experimentation and demonstrations without the need for large quantities of raw materials. An electrical heating element positioned at the base of the jacket heats water in the jacket which in turn heats the contents of the vessel. This method gives a gentle
transfer of heat to ingredients that are often heat sensitive and local 'hot spots' are avoided due to the convective distribution of the heat. Cooling is accomplished by simply metering water from a domestic supply through the
jacket. Chilling involves the circulation of chilled water in a closed circuit through an ice bank circulator incorporated in the base of the unit. An emulsifier having a variable speed drive and several options of emulsor head can be
lowered into the process fluid. Hands-on experience can be gained by students and full instrumentation allows a complete record of the process to be compiled. An automatic valve changeover system enables uncomplicated operation requiring the student/trainee to simply select the particular process required rather than have to operate an array of manual valves.
Description
Where necessary, refer to the drawings in Equipment Diagrams section 8.
9.1 Overview
The stainless steel jacketed vessel (1) has a polished, hygienic finish and a working capacity of between 10 and 15 litres. Its contents are heated indirectly by cartridge heater (16) in the base of the jacket. The heater is protected from over-temperature by a thermostat (17) adjacent to it. An emulsifier (2) can be lowered into or raised out of the vessel using the locking handle (5). The on/off and variable speed control (14) of this unit are situated on the motor housing and not on the control console. A green running light (7) indicates when the emulsor motor is switched on. The emulsor head (3) can easily be interchanged with any of the alternatives supplied by simply removing the finger-nuts securing the head to the drive shaft. A lid (6) is provided to prevent any airborne contamination during long periods of heat treatment. Chilled water is circulated from an ice bank unit (12) situated beneath the processing vessel. After a period of time required to build up an ice bank, this will provide chilled water to the vessel jacket, cooling the contents to a temperature suitable for storage/curing. The ice bank is usually used after an initial rapid cooling by circulating cold water from a domestic supply. 3-way valves (10) and (11) are used to automatically select either open
circuit domestic supply cooling or closed circuit chilled water cooling. In both cases the water passes through a flowmeter (13) where the flow rate can be adjusted manually by control
valve (14). From the flowmeter, the water enters the base of the vessel jacket after passing through an in-line non-return valve (15). The water leaves the jacket diagonally opposite the inlet, at the top of the vessel. A pressure relief valve is incorporated in the cooling water supply at the inlet to the jacket of the vessel. This is to prevent any pressure damage occurring to the jacket in the event of the outlet being blocked. The relief valve is pre-set and must not be adjusted. Thermocouples (8), (18) and (20) are positioned to provide accurate temperature indication on the control console. When positioning the equipment in a laboratory, brakes on two wheels (21) can be locked by
moving the brake lever down towards the wheel, preventing accidental movement.
