Single wall tank

Single wall tank

Single wall steel tank is one of the most common types of tanks in the food industry. Single and double wall steel tanks for non-flammable, flammable and combustible liquids from 120 to 35000 Gallons Designed and manufactured. Single-walled steel tank is commonly used to store food, pharmaceuticals and chemicals whose pH is neutral.

Application of single wall tank in dairy and juice industries

It is very important for processes such as pasteurization and fermentation, heating and cooling of the tank. Heating and cooling operations, type of tank and insulation of the tank are important principles in the process of food production. Storage tanks can be vertical or horizontal depending on its application. Vertical tanks are placed vertically and typically have access ports at the bottom. Horizontal tanks are often mounted on a pedestal or saddle and can have access ports at the bottom or top. Depending on the type of construction, the location of the tanks is usually either above ground level or underground. Portable tanks can be moved from place to place by wheel or other moving device.

The wall structure of the tank may determine the proper use of the tank. Single wall tanks are common for various applications. Double-walled tanks are used in cases where higher pressure considerations are required. Single-walled steel tanks corrode over time and may leak if left in place. The strength and useful life of the tanks depends on the weight of the raw materials and the thickness of the stainless steel sheets in the structure of the tanks.

What are the characteristics of the best storage tank

Single-wall tank, known as a mixing tank in the food, dairy, beverage and juice industries, pharmacies, chemical and biological engineering industries, etc. Is used. A high quality single wall tank should be made of single layer and hygienic stainless steel. The whole material of the tank, except for the chassis and restraints, is made of AISI 304L or AISI 316L stainless steel. Most of these tanks are equipped with a on-site washing system or CIP . Hygienic, breathable fly and insect-resistant coating, dust-proof surface, excellent design and easy operation are the requirements of a quality tank in food production.

Proper use of storage tank

Single-walled tanks, although acceptable in most production lines, are more prone to corrosion and leakage than double-walled tanks. Single-wall tanks should be located in an immersed area, usually consisting of a concrete chassis or chassis. In order to easily empty the tanks, the bottom of the tank should be designed and constructed with a slope of 6% towards the outlet path. All containment devices should be inspected regularly (at least monthly) to identify and correct possible problems such as cracks, holes, leaks. Be.

Position of single wall tank in production lines

Single-walled industrial tanks are usually used for short-term storage of materials, which after heating and cooling, first in a temporary tank (Buffer) tank) is pumped and then poured towards the fillers. Depending on the size, single-walled steel tanks can be installed inside and outside the production hall.
