乳化罐的(de)(de)作(zuo)用是對物(wu)料進(jin)行高(gao)(gao)效快速的(de)(de)分(fen)散、剪切、乳化(hua)，使物(wu)料均勻的(de)(de)分(fen)散在一種(zhong)(zhong)或多種(zhong)(zhong)不相(xiang)容(rong)的(de)(de)物(wu)料中，并使其水合成為相(xiang)對穩定(ding)的(de)(de)乳化(hua)液，具(ju)有操作(zuo)簡便，性能穩定(ding)，均質性好，生(sheng)產效率高(gao)(gao)，清洗方便，占地面積少，自動化(hua)程度高(gao)(gao)等特點(dian)。
乳化罐是依靠電機帶動帶有定轉子的乳化頭轉動，而實現高切線速度和強勁的動能，使物料在定轉子之間的間隙中受到強勁的剪切、擠壓、摩擦、撕裂、湍流等綜合作用，形成乳液狀。乳化罐對物料的乳化效果還在于乳化的時間、乳化的溫度、乳化循環的次數、乳化的轉速等。
乳(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)化(hua)(hua)(hua)(hua)罐設備(bei)中有一種(zhong)是循環(huan)(huan)乳(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)化(hua)(hua)(hua)(hua)罐，罐外(wai)裝有循環(huan)(huan)管和泵體用于(yu)循環(huan)(huan)，物(wu)料(liao)循環(huan)(huan)次(ci)數越多，乳(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)化(hua)(hua)(hua)(hua)效(xiao)(xiao)(xiao)(xiao)果(guo)(guo)越穩定。乳(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)化(hua)(hua)(hua)(hua)效(xiao)(xiao)(xiao)(xiao)果(guo)(guo)還會受到(dao)物(wu)料(liao)的影(ying)響(xiang)，物(wu)料(liao)的粘度、稠度、處理量都(dou)是影(ying)響(xiang)乳(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)化(hua)(hua)(hua)(hua)效(xiao)(xiao)(xiao)(xiao)果(guo)(guo)的因素。不(bu)同的乳(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)化(hua)(hua)(hua)(hua)罐會有不(bu)同的乳(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)化(hua)(hua)(hua)(hua)效(xiao)(xiao)(xiao)(xiao)果(guo)(guo)，乳(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)化(hua)(hua)(hua)(hua)效(xiao)(xiao)(xiao)(xiao)果(guo)(guo)的變化(hua)(hua)(hua)(hua)與許多因素都(dou)有關系，明(ming)顯的因素是乳(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)化(hua)(hua)(hua)(hua)頭(tou)(tou)的形(xing)式。乳(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)化(hua)(hua)(hua)(hua)頭(tou)(tou)有：高(gao)剪切乳(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)化(hua)(hua)(hua)(hua)頭(tou)(tou)、混合(he)乳(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)化(hua)(hua)(hua)(hua)頭(tou)(tou)、均質乳(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)化(hua)(hua)(hua)(hua)頭(tou)(tou)、分(fen)散乳(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)化(hua)(hua)(hua)(hua)頭(tou)(tou)、釜底乳(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)化(hua)(hua)(hua)(hua)頭(tou)(tou)，之所以(yi)會區分(fen)出多種(zhong)乳(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)化(hua)(hua)(hua)(hua)頭(tou)(tou)的形(xing)式，是因為每種(zhong)乳(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)化(hua)(hua)(hua)(hua)頭(tou)(tou)對物(wu)料(liao)的作用都(dou)不(bu)一樣，乳(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)化(hua)(hua)(hua)(hua)效(xiao)(xiao)(xiao)(xiao)果(guo)(guo)也不(bu)一樣。乳(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)化(hua)(hua)(hua)(hua)頭(tou)(tou)的高(gao)轉速和剪切力是乳(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)化(hua)(hua)(hua)(hua)效(xiao)(xiao)(xiao)(xiao)果(guo)(guo)的重要(yao)因素，所以(yi)在選(xuan)擇乳(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)化(hua)(hua)(hua)(hua)頭(tou)(tou)時應根據自己的生產需要(yao)選(xuan)擇合(he)適(shi)的乳(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)(ru)化(hua)(hua)(hua)(hua)頭(tou)(tou)設備(bei)。
乳(ru)化(hua)(hua)罐設備主要(yao)是用(yong)于(yu)(yu)食(shi)(shi)品、醫(yi)藥、化(hua)(hua)工(gong)(gong)等行業的生產線上，用(yong)于(yu)(yu)對物料(liao)(liao)(liao)進(jin)行攪拌、乳(ru)化(hua)(hua)、混合(he)(he)、均質等作用(yong)。不銹鋼乳(ru)化(hua)(hua)罐廣泛適(shi)(shi)用(yong)于(yu)(yu)化(hua)(hua)妝(zhuang)品、醫(yi)藥、食(shi)(shi)品、化(hua)(hua)學(xue)、染色、印刷油(you)(you)墨等工(gong)(gong)業的生產，比如食(shi)(shi)用(yong)油(you)(you)類、粉(fen)類、糖類等原輔料(liao)(liao)(liao)的乳(ru)化(hua)(hua)混合(he)(he)，某些涂(tu)料(liao)(liao)(liao)、油(you)(you)漆乳(ru)化(hua)(hua)分散也使用(yong)乳(ru)化(hua)(hua)罐，尤(you)其適(shi)(shi)用(yong)于(yu)(yu)某些難溶膠(jiao)(jiao)狀類添加劑如CMC、黃原膠(jiao)(jiao)等。
