Giusti - Jacketed Storage Tank

• Storing processed liquids and viscous products in food and beverage manufacturing.
• Holding chemical solutions or pharmaceutical intermediates prior to further processing.
• Buffering product flow in dairy processing lines.
• Storing cosmetic ingredients requiring temperature control.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 500 litres to several thousand litres, depending on the specific unit's design.

Power supply

Heating jackets typically require a three-phase electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) or a steam supply, while agitation, if present, would also require an electrical connection.

Material of construction

Units of this type are commonly constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) for hygiene and corrosion resistance, particularly in food and pharmaceutical applications.

Jacket type

Common jacket types include full jackets, half-pipe coil, or dimple jackets, designed for heating or cooling via steam, hot water, or chilled water/glycol.

Temperature range

The operational temperature range is dependent on the heating/cooling medium and insulation, but typically allows for precise temperature control from ambient to pasteurisation temperatures.

Footprint

The footprint varies significantly with capacity and design (e.g., vertical or horizontal orientation), requiring buyers to consider available floor space and head height.

• What is the primary function of a jacketed storage tank?

  A jacketed storage tank is designed to store liquids or viscous products while maintaining a specific temperature, either for heating, cooling, or temperature stabilisation.

• What does 'Giusti' refer to in the description?

• Is insulation typically included with a jacketed tank?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used jacketed tank?

• Can this tank be used for pressure applications?

Tanks and silos for food handling and storage are valued for their durability and reliability when purchased used. Buyers typically prioritize stainless steel construction for hygiene compliance and corrosion resistance. Key considerations include checking internal condition, seal integrity, and compliance with food safety standards. Industry sentiment reflects that quality used tanks offer significant cost savings whilst maintaining performance. Common strengths include longevity, straightforward maintenance, and compatibility with existing production lines. Proper inspection before purchase remains essential for operational safety.
