20L Heated Semen Extender Vat

Product Name 20L Heated Semen Extender Vat
Product Image 20L heated semen extender vat
Product Overview The 20L Heated Semen Extender Vat is a professional semen processing vessel designed for preparing, warming and handling semen extender during porcine artificial insemination and reproductive laboratory workflows. Its compact 20-liter capacity is suitable for breeding facilities and semen laboratories that require controlled extender preparation without the footprint of a large production vat.

The reference equipment category uses stainless steel construction for durability and cleaning efficiency. GenePro's semen extender mixing vat range covers capacities from 20L to 200L and incorporates a double-wall fluid jacket for improved heat distribution, while the Minitube 20L configuration uses programmable temperature control and is designed for easy cleaning and disinfection.

The vat can be configured as part of a semen dilution station and can be connected to compatible pumps or dispensing equipment through dedicated lid connections. Optional liners, mixing equipment, temperature controllers and dispensing interfaces can be selected according to the production workflow and project requirements.
Key Features

  • Suitable for commercial boar studs, pig breeding groups and reproductive laboratories.
  • OEM and project-specific configurations are available upon request.
Structural Components The 20L Heated Semen Extender Vat can be configured with the following main structural elements:
  • Stainless steel vat body: Main vessel for holding semen extender during preparation and warming.
  • Double-wall heating jacket: Provides the thermal transfer structure used in compatible heated configurations.
  • Protective lid: Helps protect the extender during preparation and provides access points for processing equipment.
  • Temperature sensor: Monitors extender temperature in configurations equipped with programmable temperature control.
  • Temperature controller: Provides adjustable heating management according to the selected configuration.
  • Connection openings: Allow connection to compatible automatic pumps or semen dispensing systems.
  • Drain and plumbing interfaces: Available according to the selected vat configuration.
  • Disposable liner: Optional round-bottom plastic liner for improved hygiene and simplified cleaning.
  • Mixing assembly: Optional mixer, shaft or stirring equipment according to project requirements.
The exact heating structure, controller, plumbing, mixer, liner and lid configuration should be selected according to the required production process.
Working Principle / Structural Principle The vat provides a controlled vessel for preparing semen extender before it is combined with collected semen. The extender is introduced into the vat and brought to the required processing temperature through the integrated heating system.

A temperature sensor and controller monitor the extender temperature and regulate heating according to the selected operating setting. The double-wall fluid-jacket structure used in compatible configurations helps distribute heat around the vessel rather than applying heat directly to the processing liquid.

Where a mixer is installed, the extender can be gently agitated to promote temperature and composition uniformity. After preparation, the extender can be transferred through a compatible pump or dispensing system into the semen dilution workflow.

The 20L format is particularly suitable for controlled-batch preparation in commercial boar semen laboratories, breeding farms and centralized reproductive facilities.

Installation & Maintenance Install the vat on a stable, level working surface with adequate clearance around the controller, electrical connections, lid and plumbing interfaces. Connect the unit only to a power supply matching the selected electrical configuration.

Install the temperature sensor and controller according to the supplied equipment configuration. If a disposable liner is specified, position a new liner correctly inside the vat before adding the extender.

Where mixing equipment is installed, ensure that the shaft, stirrer or mixer is correctly positioned before operation. When a pump or dispensing system is connected, verify all tubing and fittings before transferring extender.

After each processing cycle, remove the used liner where applicable and clean the internal surfaces using procedures suitable for stainless steel and semen processing equipment. The vat should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before the next production batch.

Keep electrical controllers, plugs and connection points protected from water and cleaning fluids. Regularly inspect temperature sensors, heating elements, seals, valves, tubing and electrical connections.

If an optional UV lamp or heated lid is installed, operate it according to the applicable equipment safety procedure. Do not expose personnel to UV radiation during operation.
