Stainless Steel Storage Tanks
Stainless steel tanks are prized for their durability and resistance to corrosion. They are often preferred for the storage of chemicals, food, and water. They are also more environmentally friendly than concrete tanks.
Tanks can be configured with a range of features. Some are simple, such as nozzles and manholes found on domestic water tanks. Others are used for industrial processing and may include agitators, mixing heads, and instrumentation to monitor temperature and pressure. They can have heating jackets and double walls to increase insulation. Ranches and feed lots often use s/s tanks to store large amounts of liquids that are fed to livestock on a daily basis. A custom metal fabricator can outfit these tanks with hoppers for easy feed dispersal and create structural steel legs to allow trucks to drive underneath for loading. The exact specifications of each tank are determined by the product to be stored, how it will be handled and cleaned, and other key factors.
Stainless Steel Mixing Tanks
Stainless steel mixing tanks are highly durable and provide a hygienic and safe solution for industrial mixing applications. They are also resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for storing and handling chemical processing products that can corrode other metals.
Surplusrecord offers a wide range of used s/s mixing tank models for sale that are suitable for a variety of industries and processing applications. These tanks feature a number of customizable options including heating or cooling features, varying sizes and agitator types. These tanks can hold liquids and gasses and may have double walls for insulation purposes or other process control requirements. They can also be fitted with a variety of different nozzles and mixing heads for material blending. The pharmaceutical manufacturing industry must adhere to strict sanitary standards, and high-quality s/s mixing tanks are essential to ensure that drugs and other products meet stringent health and safety requirements before they reach consumers. In brewing operations, s/s tanks allow for strict compliance with sanitary regulations while ensuring ideal product consistency and sanitation.
Stainless Steel Fuel Tanks
Stainless steel fuel tanks are used to store gasoline, diesel or gas and are an integral component of the vehicle’s fuel system. They’re designed to withstand mechanical forces and vibrations during travel, as well as extreme temperatures and pressures, and provide a safe, durable container for the storage of fuel.
Process tanks can be made of a variety of materials, but stainless steel is particularly ideal given the high levels of corrosion resistance and durability that it offers. Stainless steel tanks can also be manufactured to meet specific requirements, including EPA compliance and specialized features like insulation and dual-wall construction. These tanks can help to reduce the amount of time that an operator must spend refueling, which can be especially helpful for long-distance drives or off-road excursions. The increased fuel capacity of these tanks can help to extend trips and prevent the need for frequent stops for refueling, which can increase productivity and efficiency. These tanks also offer improved crashworthiness compared to plastic alternatives.
