Storage Vessel On Wheels

Applications & Use Cases

• Temporary storage of liquid or semi-liquid food products prior to further processing.
• Transport of ingredients or finished products between different stages of a production line.
• Batch mixing or holding of smaller volumes of food-grade materials.
• Collection of waste products or by-products in a food processing environment.
• Use as a mobile buffer tank in various food and beverage production scenarios.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 50 to 500 litres, though smaller or larger units can be found.

Power supply

Most basic storage vessels on wheels are unpowered, relying on gravity or external pumps for discharge. Units with agitators or heating elements would typically require a 230V single-phase or 400V three-phase supply.

Material construction

Units designed for food processing are typically constructed from 304 or 316-grade stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Mobility

Equipped with castors, often with at least two lockable wheels, for easy repositioning within a facility.

Discharge method

Commonly features a bottom outlet with a valve, or can be designed for tilting to facilitate emptying.

Lid type

Typically fitted with a hinged or removable lid, which may be sealed or unsealed depending on the application.
