| Process mode and material inventory | Batch identity, vessel, working-volume range, charge and discharge state, heel and campaign boundary. | Batch loop or once-through identity, source and destination inventories, holds, returns, bypasses and transition state. | One controlled material balance and topology drawing for the actual project mode. |
|---|
| Shear-zone exposure and bulk circulation | Workhead position, level coverage, vessel geometry, baffles and separate bulk-agitation responsibility. | Inline chamber, flow path, return location, circulation driver and supplier-defined turnover or pass evidence. | Representative observations and endpoint evidence without assuming uniform exposure from a label. |
|---|
| Ingredient and phase introduction | Surface or subsurface addition, in-vessel feed location, order, rate context and observed wetting or phase contact. | Upstream or direct line injection, powder-induction boundary, dosing interfaces and mixing point relative to the workhead. | Controlled formula, phase identity, lot, addition record and explicit included or excluded feed equipment. |
|---|
| Flow, pumping and pressure boundary | In-vessel circulation plus fill, drain and transfer responsibilities; no inferred external pumping performance. | Gravity, self-pumping or external-pump claim tied to the exact OEM configuration, line losses, pressure boundary and safeguards. | Supplier-reviewed hydraulic basis, instruments, limits and interlocks for the proposed installation. |
|---|
| Rheology, temperature, air and phase change | Material evolution across the batch, local and bulk temperature, surface air pickup, foaming and vessel pressure state. | Rheology through the loop, shear heat, pressure or vacuum state, cavitation or gas risk and return-stream behavior. | Method-specific property records and configuration-bound temperature, air and phase observations. |
|---|
| Sampling, endpoint and residence history | Batch sample points, mixing history, hold time and endpoint method for the complete vessel inventory. | Feed, return and outlet samples, pass or turnover record and residence-history limits for the selected mode. | Same target definitions, methods, sample preparation, repeats and acceptance owner across candidates. |
|---|
| Cleaning, recovery and changeover | Vessel, workhead, shaft, surfaces, drainability, heel, access and cleaning-release evidence. | Chamber, seals, pump, valves, bypass, pipework, low points, drain and return-loop cleaning evidence. | Product recovery, residue, cleaning, inspection and release record for the complete wetted path. |
|---|
| Trial, scale-up and scope release | Exact vessel, mixer, bulk-agitation and batch sequence used for the representative trial. | Exact chamber, rotor/stator, pump, loop or line, flow path and control state used for the representative trial. | Signed configuration, results, deviations, scale-up assumptions, open risks and commercial scope schedule. |
