Decalinox 200L Holding tank

• Used for temporary storage of liquid or semi-liquid food products prior to further processing or packaging.
• Ideal for buffering production lines, ensuring a continuous supply of ingredients.
• Suitable for holding products at a consistent temperature, often with agitation capabilities (though not specified for this unit).
• Can be integrated into CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems for efficient sanitation.

Typical capacity

This unit is specified as 200 litres; holding tanks in this class commonly range from 50L to several thousand litres.

Material construction

As a 'Decalinox' unit, it is typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316), essential for hygiene and corrosion resistance in food processing.

Discharge type

This unit features a side bottom discharge, commonly used for efficient emptying and can be gravity-fed or pump-assisted.

Lid type

Equipped with a lid, typically a loose or hinged cover, to protect contents from contamination and reduce evaporation.

Footprint

For a 200L tank, the footprint is relatively compact, typically requiring less than 1 square metre of floor space, plus access for operation and cleaning.

Power supply

Basic holding tanks are often unpowered. If fitted with agitation or heating elements, they commonly require a standard industrial electrical supply, such as 400V 3-phase.
