Giusti - Jacketed Storage Tank

Applications & Use Cases

• Storing processed food ingredients such as sauces, purees, or dairy products.
• Holding beverages like juices, spirits, or beer prior to bottling or further processing.
• Buffering intermediate products in a processing line to ensure continuous operation.
• Maintaining product temperature during storage for heat-sensitive or temperature-critical items.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 500 litres to several thousand litres, depending on the specific unit's design.

Power supply

Heating jackets typically require a three-phase electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz in the UK) for electric heating elements, or steam/hot water connections if heated via an external boiler.

Operating temperature range

Jacketed tanks are designed to maintain temperatures, commonly from ambient up to 95°C, depending on the heating medium and insulation.

Construction material

Units of this type are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for product contact parts, ensuring hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Agitation

Many jacketed storage tanks feature an agitator, commonly powered by a geared motor, to ensure product homogeneity and efficient heat transfer.

Footprint

The footprint for a unit of this capacity class can vary significantly, but typically requires sufficient floor space for the tank itself plus access for cleaning and maintenance.
