Controlled temperature
Water bath heat exchange supports 5-98 C operation for heating, holding, or cooling workflows.
Mixing and Fermentation Vessel
Water Bath Mixing & Fermenter Unit
A temperature-controlled vessel for small-batch mixing, pasteurization, fermentation, and formulation work.
Batch volume
3 L, 5 L, 10 L, and 15 L vessel options with customized volumes available.
Equipment Role
Built for process decisions, not display-room demonstrations
The water bath mixing and fermenter unit supports small-batch product development where gentle heat exchange, mixing profile, and temperature stability matter. It can be configured for formulation, pasteurization, fermentation, and controlled holding tests.
Flexible mixing
Interchangeable agitator blades help compare shear, suspension, and blending behavior.
Compact development
Small vessel options keep trial size manageable while preserving process control.
Configuration Notes
Specify the module around the trial evidence you need
Strong equipment selection starts with product behavior, utility limits, cleaning expectations, and the measurements required for scale-up.
Select agitation by product behavior
Viscosity, particles, aeration sensitivity, and shear risk should guide blade selection.
Specify heat-up and cool-down needs
Utilities, jacket area, and water bath volume affect thermal response.
Plan sampling access
Sampling, pH checks, culture addition, and cleaning access should be built into the workflow.
