Steel tank is one of the most important elements in the production line of sanitary, food and sensitive industries. Stainless steel tanks, unlike ordinary steels such as black sheet (ST-37 or ST-52), show a very high resistance to corrosion and rust. This characteristic has caused them to be used to store and process fluids in various industries.
What industries are steel tanks used in?
Food industry production Production of dairy products Production of herbal spirits Pharmaceutical industry chemical industry Oil, gas and petrochemical industries
The most important uses of steel tanks in industrial plants
Steel tanks are one of the most important factors and equipment for the design and construction of various food and health industry lines, which are used to store and process fluids in various food industries due to their very high resistance to rust.
Among these industries, we can mention dairy production line, oil production line, cosmetic industry production line, etc. Steel tanks are also used for storing edible oil, water and beverages, acid and chemicals, whey, etc.
🔹 Types of steel tanks
Steel tanks include different types (such as single-walled, double-walled, triple-walled, transport, etc.) and each of these tanks are used in different parts of the food industry according to their specific characteristics. 🔹 The use of double-walled and triple-walled steel tanks Since in many cases it is necessary to keep the contents of the tank at a constant temperature and not have any connection with the surrounding environment, double-walled tanks are used in various industries. In addition, in some cases it is necessary to subject the contents of the tank to heat treatment (cooling or heating). In such cases, the third wall provides the possibility of raising or lowering the temperature with the help of cold water and steam. 🔹 Appearance of steel tank Different reservoirs can be made in different ways according to the role of the process they are in charge of. For example, spherical tanks or cylindrical tanks with convex lenses are used for processes under pressure, or cylindrical tanks with flat lenses are often used to store products or food. Also, according to conditions such as the volume of the tank, the tanks can be made with a base or earrings. Large tanks are usually without a base and are installed on a special foundation.
