Mixing vessels are a central component in heating, cooling and recycling systems for safe filling and correct mixing of glycol and water. A robust mixing vessel protects the system against frost, corrosion and pressure drop by ensuring that the liquid level and concentration are maintained at an optimal level.
In our range you will find durable vessels made of high-quality plastic as well as complete models equipped with an integrated pump. Whether you need a simpler container for manual handling or a complete pump unit for continuous operation, we offer solutions for both smaller installations and larger property systems. Explore our mixing vessels from well-known manufacturers such as Cipax and Altech for a safe and efficient installation.
Mixing vessel buying guide – Choose the right model for your system
A mixing vessel is mainly used to mix, store and pump glycol mixtures or other antifreeze fluids into closed heating and cooling systems. Choosing the right vessel ensures smooth filling and reliable protection against frost damage and deposits in the pipe system.
Benefits of using a custom mixing vessel
- Precise liquid mixing: Makes it easy to achieve the correct proportions of water and glycol before filling.
- Safe operation: Prevents air from entering the system during the filling process.
- Durable materials: Made of durable plastic materials that withstand chemicals and stress over time.
- Flexibility: Available both as stand-alone containers and as complete units with a pump.
With or without a pump – What do you need
When choosing a mixing vessel, the most important aspect is whether you need a model with an integrated pump or a stand-alone vessel without a pump.
- Mixing vessel without pump: Perfect when you already have an external filling pump or if filling is done manually. These vessels are often equipped with a clear volume scale on the side for easy reading.
- Mixing vessel with pump: A complete solution where the pump is mounted on the vessel. This facilitates direct docking and filling to the heating system, which saves time during installation and maintenance.
Important things to consider before buying
- Volume and capacity: Adjust the size of the vessel to the total liquid volume of the system. Smaller vessels of 50–110 liters cover most standard needs, while larger systems require higher capacity.
- Location and space: Check that the dimensions of the vessel fit in the installation space or boiler room.
- Compatibility: Ensure that the vessel material and any pump seals are intended for the type of glycol or liquid you plan to use.
