Liquid Vat

Applications & Use Cases

• Used for bulk storage of liquids in dairy processing.
• Suitable for holding water, brines, or other non-corrosive food-grade liquids.
• Often integrated into larger processing lines for buffer storage.
• Can be used for mixing or blending operations if equipped with an agitator.

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.

Construction material

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

Insulation

Many liquid vats are insulated to maintain product temperature, which is crucial for dairy and other temperature-sensitive liquids.

Agitation

Some units are equipped with agitators for mixing or preventing product separation; power supply for these is typically 3-phase industrial voltage.

Outlet/Inlet connections

Commonly features standard hygienic fittings (e.g., RJT, DIN, Clamp) for integration into existing pipework.

Cleaning

Designed for easy cleaning, often compatible with Clean-in-Place (CIP) systems for efficient sanitation.
