Tanks for the food industry

Despite the unfavourable weather, the heat is still present, the production is at the full speed. We have just transported other tanks for the food industry. This time, at the request of the largest potato processing plant in Poland, we have made a storage tank for glucose syrup, which is used in the confectionery industry for the production of among others sweets, jelly sweets, jellies or toppings.

The mentioned storage tank is a double-walled tank with a capacity of 55 m3. To maintain the temperature of the stored syrup and to prevent the product from freezing, we used heating pipes located on the lower bottom, cylindrical part, pipeline and air vent. Temperature controllers for e.g. to control the temperature on the heating pipes, they are placed in a special box mounted on the tank jacket.

Due to the fact that the tank is intended for the food industry, all elements having contact with the medium are made of AISI 316L stainless steel. Elements that do not come into contact with the product are made of AISI 304L steel.

The tank was placed on a settling platform with a specially prepared inspection hole and equipped with all necessary technological and measuring connectors.

The diameter of the tank at its widest point is 4m, also during delivery and assembly we had to move around a bit but everything went without a problem.

Below there are the effects of our work:
