Typical context for this category of equipment. Always confirm specifics with the seller.
Applications & Use Cases
- Used for temporary storage of liquids, pastes, or slurries in food production lines.
- Ideal for buffering product flow between different processing stages.
- Suitable for holding ingredients like milk, juices, oils, or sauces before further processing or packaging.
- Can be integrated into CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems for efficient sanitation.
Typical Specifications
- Typical capacity
- This unit is specified at 5000 litres. Holding tanks in this class commonly range from 1,000 to 20,000 litres.
- Construction material
- As specified, 316 stainless steel is standard for food contact surfaces due to its corrosion resistance and hygienic properties. Other grades like 304 stainless steel are also common.
- Discharge type
- A central bottom discharge is typical for efficient draining and minimising product retention. Side discharges are also found on some units.
- Level sensing
- The inclusion of a level sensor is common for automated process control and preventing overfilling or running dry. Various sensor types (e.g., hydrostatic, ultrasonic) are typically used.
- Insulation
- While not specified, tanks of this size often feature insulation and/or a jacket for temperature control, depending on application requirements.
- Agitation
- Many holding tanks are fitted with agitators to maintain product homogeneity or prevent settling, though this is not specified for this unit.
- Footprint
- For a 5000L tank, the footprint typically requires several square metres, with additional space needed for access and connections.
- Power supply
- Ancillary components like level sensors or agitation systems typically require a standard industrial electrical supply, commonly 230V or 400V 3-phase.
Frequently Asked Questions
- A holding tank's primary function is to temporarily store liquid or semi-liquid products, acting as a buffer in a processing line or for batch accumulation before the next stage.
