• Temporary storage of liquid or semi-liquid food products prior to further processing.
• Buffering ingredient supply in production lines to ensure continuous operation.
• Holding finished products before packaging or distribution.
• Mixing or blending of ingredients, particularly if equipped with an agitator (not specified for this unit).

Typical capacity

For this unit, the capacity is stated as 200 litres. For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 50 litres up to several thousand litres.

Construction material

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

Discharge type

This unit features a side bottom discharge. Other units may have central bottom discharge or top discharge.

Footprint

The footprint will vary based on capacity and design, but a 200L tank on a stand typically requires approximately 0.5 to 1 square metre of floor space, plus access for operation and cleaning.

Power supply

Basic holding tanks are often unpowered. If fitted with heating, cooling, or agitation, they commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz in the UK) or a single-phase supply for smaller motors.

Temperature control

While not specified for this unit, holding tanks commonly feature jackets for heating or cooling, or insulation to maintain product temperature.
