- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 1,000 litres to over 20,000 litres, with 5,000 litres being a standard mid-range size.
- Construction material
- Typically 304 or 316 grade stainless steel, suitable for food contact and ease of cleaning.
- Insulation
- Commonly insulated with materials like rock wool or polyurethane foam to maintain product temperature.
- Level detection
- Units of this type often feature level sensors, which can be continuous or point-level, for process control.
- Agitation
- Some holding tanks include agitators for products requiring gentle mixing or to prevent separation.
- Temperature control
- Heating or cooling jackets are frequently integrated for precise temperature management of contents.
- Power supply
- Control systems and associated components typically require a standard industrial electrical supply, commonly 400V 3-phase.
- Cleaning
- Designed for CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems for efficient and hygienic cleaning.
