Charot 1000l Immersion tank

• Used for brining, marinating, or curing food products such as meats, fish, and vegetables.
• Suitable for chilling or heating food items as part of a batch processing operation.
• Employed in pickling processes for various food ingredients.
• Utilised for washing or rinsing bulk food products to remove impurities.

Typical capacity

This unit is listed at 1000 litres; immersion tanks in this class commonly range from 500 to 2000 litres.

Power supply

Heating or chilling elements, if present, typically require a 3-phase industrial power supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz in the UK).

Insulation

An insulated jacket, as mentioned, is common for maintaining consistent temperatures during processing.

Material construction

Typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Pressure rating

Described as a pressure vessel, implying it is designed to operate under specific internal pressures, which should be verified with the seller.

Footprint

For a 1000L unit, the footprint typically requires a floor area of approximately 1.5m x 1.5m, plus space for access and ancillary equipment.

Process vessels and storage tanks for bioprocessing and pharmaceutical manufacturing are valued for robust construction and compliance with GMP standards. Buyers typically seek equipment with verified validation documentation, material certifications, and service history. Common strengths include reliable performance in temperature-controlled environments and compatibility with existing systems. When purchasing used equipment, industry practice emphasises inspecting pressure ratings, gasket conditions, and calibration records. Quality units from established manufacturers generally command confidence in secondary markets.
