Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

This unit is specified at 1000 litres. For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 500 litres to several thousand litres.

Material of construction

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

Jacketed design

The jacketed design indicates suitability for temperature control, either heating or cooling, commonly via steam, hot water, or chilled water/glycol.

Discharge

A central bottom discharge is typical for complete drainage and ease of connection to downstream equipment.

Insulation

Jacketed tanks are typically insulated to maintain product temperature efficiently and reduce energy consumption.

Agitation

While not specified for this unit, holding tanks commonly feature agitators for product blending or to prevent settling.

Power supply

For jacketed tanks with potential agitation, power requirements are typically 3-phase, 400V, 50Hz for motors and control systems, with steam or chilled water supplied separately.
