A stainless steel jacketed tank is an industrial storage device with an outer jacket (wall) to maintain or control the temperature of the product stored inside. Typically made of 304 or 316L grade stainless steel, these tanks allow for temperature control by circulating a heating or cooling fluid through the jacket.

Difference from Other Tanks

While standard tanks serve only storage purposes, walled tanks offer the advantage of temperature control, a feature that is especially critical in sensitive production processes.

Advantages of Stainless Steel Jacketed Tanks

Thermal Insulation and Energy Efficiency

By maintaining a constant temperature of the product inside the tank, it reduces energy consumption and preserves product quality. It offers a significant advantage in temperature-sensitive foods like milk, yogurt, fruit juice, and chocolate.

Durability and Longevity

Made from 304 or 316L grade stainless steel, these tanks are resistant to corrosion and can be used safely for many years without requiring maintenance.

Hygienic Storage

Shiny and smooth stainless surfaces prevent the growth of bacteria and microorganisms, ensuring hygiene standards are maintained, particularly in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries.

Areas of Use

  • Food Industry:Temperature-controlled hygienic storage of milk, yoghurt, wine, olive oil and similar products.

  • Chemistry and Cosmetics:Provides stability in temperature-sensitive products such as chemicals, perfumes and lotions.

  • Medicine and Health:It offers the advantage of both temperature control and hygienic storage in environments where sterile conditions are required.

Heating and Cooling Systems

  • Jacketed Structure:Temperature is controlled by circulating water, steam or glycol with a jacket system integrated into the tank body.

  • Heating Systems:The product can be heated with steam or an electric heater. This is common with products like chocolate and wax.

  • Cooling Systems:Thanks to glycol or cold water circulation, the temperature is reduced in fermented products such as yoghurt and beer.

Things to Consider When Choosing a Jacketed Tank

  • Capacity:Production capacities range from 100 to 50,000 liters. Capacity tailored to your needs increases efficiency.

  • Material Quality:304 should be preferred for food and standard products, 316L should be preferred for aggressive chemicals.

  • Purpose of Use:Special designs are required depending on the sector.

Frequently Asked Technical Questions

  • How much pressure can a walled tank withstand?
    Generally, models with pressures between 1 and 4 bar can be produced, but higher pressure models can be produced upon request.

  • How long is the heating time?
    It takes approximately 30–90 minutes depending on the capacity and energy type.

  • How does the cooling system work?
    Cold water or glycol is circulated through the wall to lower the temperature of the contents. The system can be activated automatically.
