What are Storage Tanks?

Storage tanks are used for holding and storing liquids, semi-solids, solids and keeping your product or suspension homogeneously mixed in a mixing system.

Since end products are in contact with the walls of the storage tank, it is imperative that the fabrication of this vessel complies with standard CGMP’s and are sanitary for use.

How to choose the appropriate storage tank?

To have more efficient processes, it is important to understand the proper tank to be used, according to your company’s purposes. With this, failures will be avoided, ensuring safety and avoiding damages which can void your warranty.

manufactures a variety of storage tank to choose from. They have a Movable Storage Tanks, Fixed Storage Tanks, Vacuum Storage Tanks and Horizontal Storage Tanks. These stainless steel tanks are fabricated to order allowing for complete customization for your application.

What are storage tanks made of?

manufactures storage tanks which are robust, sanitary and high quality using stainless steel 316L, which is proven to be far better than other common stainless steel types. It is coated with Molybdenum making it more corrosion resistive and its properties are more advantageous than standard plain carbon mild steel. Stainless steel storage tanks have higher cryogenic toughness, higher ductility and lower maintenance is needed.

Quality Control

manufactures products complying with Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) regulations enforced by the FDA. CGMP is vital for quality control of manufacturing plants as it entails proper design, monitoring, and control of manufacturing processes and procedures.

Adherence to the CGMP regulations assures the identity, strength, and quality of manufacturing operations. CGMP also establishes strong quality management systems, robust operating procedures and investigating product quality deviations.

Movable Storage Tanks

Movable Storage Tanks or Open Storage Tanks are open storage vessels without covers for holding liquids, semi-solids, and solids which could be subjected to atmospheric pressure or where the vacuum is not needed. It has swivel castor wheels at the bottom which permits it to be moved around conveniently from one place to another.

Fixed Storage Tanks

Fixed Storage Tanks are closed storage vessels with a cover and a manhole at the top. These are used for carrying liquids, semi-solids and solids which should not be contaminated with atmospheric air, dust and other particles. Unlike the movable storage tank model, this doesn’t have a castor wheel at the bottom and can only be fixed in one area.

Vacuum Storage Tanks

Vacuum Storage Tanks are closed storage vessels on which a specific amount of vacuum pressure is held inside it. It is to avoid aeration and oxidation inside the tank for sensitive products such as certain pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. This type of tank offered by is movable with 4 castor wheels such as the Movable Storage Tank. There are manhole, vacuum port, breather, ingredient port, battery-powered light and vacuum/pressure gauge on the tank lid.

Horizontal Storage Tanks

Horizontal Storage Tanks are closed storage vessels which have a horizontal configuration with special features suitable for ease of transportation, restricts surging and has a high efficiency in maintaining the temperature of the product inside the tank. This type of tank is usually chosen if height restrictions are a concern with having a vertical tank.
