NNP 350L Holding vessel

• Used for temporary storage of liquid or semi-liquid food products prior to further processing or packaging.
• Suitable for buffering product flow between different stages of a processing line.
• Can be utilised for mixing and blending ingredients, particularly when equipped with an agitator (not specified for this unit).
• Often employed in dairy, beverage, and sauce production for holding various formulations.

Typical capacity

This unit is specified at 350 litres. Holding vessels in this class commonly range from 100 litres to several thousand litres.

Construction material

As stated, this unit is stainless steel. Food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) is standard for hygienic processing equipment.

Jacketed design

The 'jacketed' feature indicates a double-wall construction, allowing for heating or cooling of the product via a circulating medium (e.g., water, steam). This typically requires external connections for the heating/cooling utility.

Discharge type

This unit features a side discharge with a valve, which is common for gravity-fed or pump-assisted emptying. Bottom discharge is also frequently found on similar vessels.

Lid type

A stainless lid is included, which is typical for maintaining product hygiene and preventing contamination.

Power supply

For a jacketed vessel, power is typically required for any associated heating/cooling systems or an agitator if fitted. The vessel itself may not require direct electrical power unless it includes integrated controls or pumps. Common industrial supplies are 400V 3-phase or 230V single-phase for smaller auxiliary components.

Tanks and silos for food handling and storage are valued for their durability and reliability when purchased used. Buyers typically prioritize stainless steel construction for hygiene compliance and corrosion resistance. Key considerations include checking internal condition, seal integrity, and compliance with food safety standards. Industry sentiment reflects that quality used tanks offer significant cost savings whilst maintaining performance. Common strengths include longevity, straightforward maintenance, and compatibility with existing production lines. Proper inspection before purchase remains essential for operational safety.
