The annular space between the container and the jacket is provided with flow guides for circulating hot fluid and effecting good heat transfer. The mixing element are two in numbers, concentric to each other and contra rotating: a) An anchor with scraper blades running close to the container wall operating at 20 RPM driven by 3 HP motor; and b) A set or three pitched bladed turbine type impellers mounted on a central solid shaft operating at 144 RPM driven by 7.5 HP motor.
