NNP Stainless Steel Vessel Stainless Steel Vessel

• Bioprocessing: Used for fermentation, cell culture, and media preparation in pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.
• Formulation: Suitable for mixing, blending, and holding various liquid and semi-liquid products in food, cosmetic, and chemical sectors.
• Laboratory use: Employed for pilot-scale experiments, sample storage, and small-batch production.
• Storage: Provides hygienic containment for raw materials, intermediates, or finished products.
• Chemical processing: Applicable for reaction vessels, mixing tanks, or buffer storage in chemical manufacturing.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 50 litres to several thousand litres, depending on the specific model and application.

Material of construction

Units of this type are typically constructed from 304 or 316L stainless steel, offering corrosion resistance and hygienic properties.

Pressure rating

Many stainless steel vessels are designed for atmospheric pressure, but some may be rated for low-pressure or vacuum operations.

Temperature control

Commonly, vessels may feature jackets for heating or cooling, or ports for external temperature probes.

Agitation

Units often include provisions for agitators, such as top-mounted motors or magnetic stirrers, to ensure product homogeneity.

Surface finish

Internal surfaces typically have a polished finish (e.g., 2B or electropolished) to facilitate cleaning and prevent product adhesion.

Connections

Commonly found connections include tri-clamp, flanged, or threaded ports for inlets, outlets, and instrumentation.

Footprint

The footprint varies significantly with capacity; smaller units are benchtop, while larger vessels require dedicated floor space.
