Scandibrew 1000L Holding tank

• Used for temporary storage of liquids or slurries in brewing and beverage production.
• Suitable for holding processed food ingredients prior to packaging or further processing.
• Applied in dairy operations for milk or cream storage before pasteurisation or bottling.
• Utilised in chemical and pharmaceutical industries for buffer storage of various solutions.

Typical capacity

This unit is specified at 1000 litres; holding tanks in this class commonly range from 500L to 5000L.

Material construction

As described, this unit is stainless steel, which is standard for hygiene and corrosion resistance in food and beverage applications.

Jacketed design

The jacketed feature indicates capability for temperature control, typically for heating or cooling via a circulating medium.

Discharge type

A central bottom discharge is common for efficient draining and cleaning, particularly with viscous products.

Footprint

For a 1000L vertical tank, the footprint typically requires a floor area of approximately 1.0m to 1.5m diameter, plus access space.

Power supply

If agitation or advanced controls are present, a 3-phase electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz UK standard) would typically be required for motors and control panels. For basic jacketed tanks, only a control circuit might be needed.
