- 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.
