Stainless steel industrial process tanks for storage and production
Stainless steel industrial process tanks are used for storing, handling and processing liquids in various types of industrial processes.
Tanks come in many designs depending on the application, process requirements and operating conditions.
Processöverskott offers both new and used stainless steel tanks in stainless steel 304 and acid-proof 316 in various sizes and designs where solutions for storage, mixing and process handling can occur depending on specification and application.
Function and structure
Process tanks are often used for the storage, intermediate storage, mixing or handling of liquids and process materials in industry.
The design varies depending on the application and can, for example, be vertical or horizontal with different types of bottom designs depending on the process and installation conditions.
Tanks can be equipped with, for example, agitators, level measurement, inspection hatches, valve connections and CIP systems depending on the specification and application.
Performance is often customized according to factors such as temperature, pressure, cleaning requirements and type of process fluid.
Materials and construction
Process tanks are often manufactured in stainless steel 304 or acid-proof 316 depending on the properties of the fluid and the requirements of the process.
Stainless steel is used in many industrial applications where cleanability and resistance to corrosion are relevant factors.
Tanks are usually welded and may have different surface treatments such as grinding or polishing depending on the application and requirements of the process.
Construction features such as wall thickness, reinforcements and connections vary depending on the tank size, pressure design and specification.
Pressurized and atmospheric solutions
Process tanks can be available in both atmospheric and pressurized versions depending on the design and application.
Pressurized tanks may be equipped with components such as safety valves and pressure gauges depending on the design and specification. Documentation linked to, for example, PED and CE may be available where indicated.
Atmospheric tanks are often used in processes where pressure conditions are not relevant.
Applications in industry
Process tanks are used in several types of industrial processes.
Examples of applications include food production, chemical industry, pharmaceutical related processes and water treatment depending on the properties of the fluid and the requirements of the process.
The tanks are used for e.g. storage, mixing, temperature management and process-related fluid handling depending on the application and operating conditions.
Technical options and equipment
Tanks can be equipped with, for example:
Agitator for mixing and circulation
Temperature-related solutions such as sheathing or insulation
Inspection hatches and level measurement
CIP system for cleaning
Valves and pump connections
Control systems and process monitoring
Pressure monitoring in certain processes
The design varies depending on the model, specification and application.
Volume and capacity
Process tanks come in many different sizes depending on the process and capacity needs.
Smaller tanks are used, for example, in pilot processes and laboratory environments, while larger tanks are used in production facilities with larger flows and batches.
Volume can influence factors such as location, design, cleaning solutions and peripheral equipment needs depending on the application.
Advantages of stainless steel process tanks
Stainless steel process tanks are often used in processes where cleanability, resistance to corrosion and handling of process fluids are relevant factors.
Different technical solutions and designs can enable adaptation to different types of processes depending on the application and operating conditions.
New and used tanks
Processöverskott offers both new and used process tanks in various designs and sizes.
Tanks may be equipped with different technical solutions depending on the model and previous use. Availability varies depending on stock status and specification.
Choosing the right solution
The choice of process tank is often based on factors such as the characteristics of the liquid, hygiene requirements, temperature, pressure conditions and process requirements.
Process surplus can provide information on different designs and technical options depending on the application and area of use.
