CT Plant & Equipment - 2000ltr Jacketed Tank

• Used for mixing and holding liquid products at a controlled temperature in food processing.
• Suitable for chemical and pharmaceutical industries requiring temperature-controlled storage or reaction vessels.
• Commonly employed in beverage production for heating, cooling, or maintaining product temperature.
• Utilised in cosmetic manufacturing for processing temperature-sensitive ingredients or finished products.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 1,000 to 5,000 litres, with this unit being 2,000 litres.

Power supply

Electrically heated jacketed tanks typically require a 3-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V.

Material construction

Units of this type are almost exclusively constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Heating method

Jacketed tanks commonly use electric elements, steam, or hot water/oil circulating through the jacket for temperature control.

Outlet configuration

A bottom outlet is standard for efficient draining, often with a sanitary valve.

Temperature control

Typically includes insulation and a jacket for precise temperature maintenance or adjustment.
