Stainless steel storage tanks are a cost effective way to store liquid raw materials for manufacturing and industrial applications. These tanks are resistant to corrosion which helps reduce rework and maintenance costs.

Single Wall

Stainless steel single wall tanks are the most basic storage vessels. They offer protection from corrosive compounds on both the inside and outside of the tank. They are often used in manufacturing plants to store liquid raw materials. These tanks can be oriented vertically or horizontally, and some feature an agitator. This agitator design can range from simple propellers to high shear mixing heads.

Constructing large tanks with thick walls is impractical, so a solution has been found by creating double-walled stainless steel tanks. These tanks consist of carbon steel plates bonded to stainless steel cladding to prevent corrosion. This cladding process is accomplished by pressing the two metals together and heating them to create a metallurgical bond. The interstitial space between the two metals functions as secondary containment, so no external containment systems are required at the tank’s storage site.

Jacketed

Stainless steel storage vessels are used in several industries to hold different commodities, whether solid or liquid. The s/s tanks have several options for heating and cooling that allow the contents to be heated or cooled by circulating a temperature-regulating fluid around the tank.

Often times these tanks are equipped with a dimpled jacket which helps reduce weight and wall thickness, while still providing an effective thermal shock barrier for processes that don’t require drastic temperatures changes. Conventional jackets are another option, though they offer less flexibility when it comes to heating or cooling as they are a continuous piece of insulation that wraps around the entire tank.

In the pharmaceutical industry, s/s jacketed tanks are used to mix and store products including cough syrup, shampoo, lotions, antiseptics, and gels. The food industry also uses s/s tanks for processing and tempering foods like chocolate and sugary confections. The s/s jacketed tanks are equipped with a special spiral agitator that ensures consistent and flawless mixing of the materials in the tank.

Vertical

Vertical tanks are ideal for storing medicine, nutriments and chemicals because they work really well in a variety of different applications. This is particularly true because they are made of the best quality stainless steel. These tanks are also among the most cost efficient of all storage containers.

Another great feature about these vertical chemical tanks is that they can be placed on a flat surface, which makes them more stable than horizontal tanks. In addition, the cylinder design allows for even stress distribution. This is why they are so durable and can withstand the weight of whatever you’re storing in them. Moreover, these tanks are also safer than horizontal tanks. They take up less space and are easier to transport. Furthermore, they can be loaded on a truck with ease. Hence, they are a better choice for those who need to transport their water or chemical tanks regularly. These tanks are available in a wide range of sizes and capacities.
