Project Description

Food Grade SUS304/316L Storage TankĀ 

Introduction And Application of The Food Grade SUS304/316L Stainless Steel Storage TankĀ 

The food-grade SUS304/316 stainless steel storage tank is widely used in many fields such as dairy engineering, food and beverage engineering, fruit and vegetable juice engineering, beer engineering, fine chemical engineering, biopharmaceutical engineering, and water treatment engineering. A newly designed storage tank has the advantages of easy operation, corrosion resistance, strong production capacity, convenient cleaning, durability, hygienic properties and shock resistance.

SUS304 stainless steel storage tanks are widely used in the food and beverage industry for storing various liquids, including water, juices, dairy products, oils, and sauces. The stainless steel construction of the tanks ensures that the stored products remain uncontaminated, maintaining their quality and freshness. SUS304 tanks are also suitable for the storage of ingredients and raw materials used in food and beverage production.

Feature Of SUS304 Stainless Steel Storage TankĀ 

  • The tank inlet and outlet interface can be designed and manufactured according to the process. The pipeline connection style has fast-loaded, flanging, and threaded to be chosen.
  • The upper and lower sealing head of the tank can be designed into flat, cone, oval head, and butterfly-shaped heads, and the bottom of the tank can be designed into cone and flat type.
  • The bottom of the tank is processed into an R angle by rotation, which is not easy to generate dead angles with the inner tank welding and polishing, and tilted at 5 Ā° towards the outlet, which is convenient for emptying materials.
  • All the tank inlet and outlet connection points and tank body welding points adopt to edge flipping process and arc transition, smoothing and easy cleaning without dead corners, creating a beautiful appearance.
  • Material filling seal and mechanical seal can be used for sealing the SUS304 tank and it is selected according to the working pressure of the tank.
  • The surface treatment of the tank can be mirror polishing, brush treatment, sandblasting, inner surface mirror polishing treatment, and fine polishing RA ā‰¤ 0.4 Ī¼m. The outer surface is mirror-polished with a SUS304 2B horizontal plate.
  • The temperature control of the tank: uses thermocouple and thermal insulation or PID constant temperature control, and the constant temperature control temperature difference Ā± ā‰¤1 Ā°.digital thermometer or the temperature sensor with a temperature controller or two-point temperature measurement method is used to perform temperature control and display.
  • Jacketed tank type: Different jackets are adopted according to different heating methods, such as hollow jackets, honeycomb jackets, semi-circular jackets, and detachable jackets.
  • Insulation materials: Filled with pearl wool, rock wool or polyurethane casting foam, to maintain the temperature difference with the outside of the tank, to achieve the effect of heat insulation.
  • Jacket heating/cooling medium: steam/cooling water/heat transfer oil/other refrigerants.
  • Material feeding measurement method: weighing with load cells or liquid level sensor measurement or flowmeter measurement ingredients.
  • Material characteristics: PH value, viscosity, boiling point, toxicity, solid-liquid ratio, etc.
  • Working conditions: temperature, pressure, etc. can be customized according to process requirements.

Ā Structure of SUS304/316L Storage Tank

1. The stainless steel storage tank equipment has a reasonable design, advanced technology, and automatic control, and meets the requirements of GMP standards. The tank body adopts vertical or horizontal single-layer, double-layer thermal and three-layer heating structures, and can be filled with insulation materials according to user requirements.

2. According to different storage capacity, 500-15000L storage tanks are available. Above 20,000L storage tanks are recommended installed in outdoor. The material is made of SUS304 imported stainless steel.

3. The storage tank has good thermal insulation performance. The attached equipment of the tank is as follows: mixer, CIP cleaning head, manhole, temperature sensor, liquid level indicator, germ-proof breathing hole, aseptic sampling port, inlet and outlet and so on.
