Stainless Steel Vessel Stainless Steel Vessel

• Used for mixing, heating, or storing liquids and slurries in food production.
• Commonly employed in pharmaceutical processes for ingredient preparation or reaction vessels.
• Suitable for chemical processing where corrosion resistance is critical for containment.
• Utilised in cosmetic manufacturing for blending and holding product formulations.

Material

This unit is specified as 316 stainless steel, offering enhanced corrosion resistance compared to 304 stainless steel.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 50 litres to several thousand litres, depending on the specific application.

Pressure rating

As a vacuum vessel, it is designed to operate under negative pressure; specific positive pressure ratings would need to be confirmed with the seller.

Agitation

Units of this type often feature internal agitators or mixing blades, though this is not specified for this particular unit.

Temperature control

Many stainless steel vessels include jackets for heating or cooling, which would need to be verified with the seller for this unit.

Sealable lid

The presence of a sealable lid indicates suitability for vacuum applications or processes requiring controlled atmospheric conditions.

• What is the benefit of 316 stainless steel?

  316 stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance, particularly against chlorides and other industrial solvents, making it suitable for a wider range of aggressive media compared to 304 stainless steel.
