Used stainless steel tanks can be a cost-effective option in industry, especially where there is a limited investment budget or a need for fast delivery. The cost is often lower compared to new tanks, while many used tanks still offer a long service life and good functionality depending on condition, material and previous use. <\/p>\n
Process\u00f6verskott offers both new and used tanks in Stainless 304 and Syrafast 316 in several different designs and sizes for industrial processes in areas such as food, chemistry, pharmaceuticals and water treatment.<\/p>\n
The cost-effectiveness of used tanks is influenced by, among other things:<\/p>\n
– Material type and steel grade
– Age and previous use of the tank
– Plate thickness and construction
– Pressure rating, if any
– Technical equipment such as agitators and CIP systems
– Documentation and inspection history<\/p>\n
Used tanks can be used for both storage and process applications depending on their construction and condition.<\/p>\n
Common materials:<\/p>\n
– 304 stainless steel for standard applications
– 316 or 316L acid-proof for more corrosive environments<\/p>\n
The choice of materials has an impact:<\/p>\n
– Corrosion resistance
– Hygiene and cleanability
– Lifetime and maintenance
– Reusability in different processes<\/p>\n
The condition of the tank, welds and surface finish should be checked before reinstallation.<\/p>\n
Used tanks can be:<\/p>\n
– Atmospheric storage tanks
– Pressurized tanks and pressure vessels
– CIP adapted process tanks
– Insulated or double jacketed solutions<\/p>\n
Documentation linked to, for example, CE and PED may be available depending on the tank design, previous use and specification.<\/p>\n
– Food industry – storage and process fluids
– Chemical industry – chemicals and process solutions
– Pharmaceutical production – hygienic processes
– Water treatment – buffer and storage tanks<\/p>\n
Second-hand tanks are often used where fast delivery and cost efficiency are important factors.<\/p>\n
Used tanks can be equipped with:<\/p>\n
– Agitators and mixing equipment
– Spray balls and CIP systems
– Level gauges and temperature sensors
– Insulation and sheathing
– Valves and process connections
– PLC or SCADA customization<\/p>\n
The design varies depending on the model and previous use.<\/p>\n
Used tanks come in many different sizes depending on availability and application.<\/p>\n
The volume affects, among other things:<\/p>\n
– Price per liter
– Transport and installation
– Need for foundations and support structure
– Possibility of integration into existing process<\/p>\n
Larger tanks often provide lower cost per liter compared to smaller units.<\/p>\n
– Lower investment cost
– Shorter delivery times
– Reuse of existing equipment
– Possibility of conversion and customization
– Available in many different sizes and designs<\/p>\n
Process surplus offers both new and used tanks in different materials, sizes and designs.<\/p>\n
Inventory management may include:<\/p>\n
– Process and storage tanks
– Vertical and horizontal tanks
– Pressure vessels and vacuum tanks
– Tanks with agitators and CIP equipment<\/p>\n
Availability and documentation vary depending on the site and previous use.<\/p>\n
When choosing a used tank, consideration should be given to:<\/p>\n
– Chemical environment of the process
– Temperature and pressure requirements
– Hygiene requirements and cleaning needs
– Material selection and corrosion risk
– Available documentation and specification<\/p>\n
Proper assessment of condition and construction is important for long-term operation and safe use.<\/p>\n
