Buy stainless steel flat-bottom tanks – used & factory-new

A stainless steel flat-bottom tank is widely used in the food industry as a non-pressurized storage tank for liquid raw materials and intermediate products. In particular for media such as fresh milk, mineral water or fruit juice. The vertical, cylindrical design with flat bottom enables hygienic integration into production plants while at the same time providing large volumes typically of 50 – 150 cbm.

Flat-bottom vessels are often installed outdoors, which is why a fully welded insulation jacket is a classic feature of food-grade stainless steel flat-bottom tanks. This protects the storage medium from external weather conditions. Flat-bottom tanks are also often equipped with a side-entry agitator to keep the storage medium homogeneously suspended and prevent sedimentation.

In the beverage industry, stainless steel flat-bottom tanks are used for storing fruit juice, fruit juice concentrate, nectar, ormineral water. Flat-bottom tanks offer a food-compliant and flavor-neutral storage environment - ideal for sensitive beverage products. The upright design enables space-saving integration into existing tank farms, as well as into juice storage and filling areas.

Stainless steel flat-bottom tanks are used as fruit juice storage tanks and feed vessels in beverage processing plants. Operation is exclusively non-pressurized, which is why flat-bottom tanks are not suitable as short-time pasteurizers (KZE tanks). In addition, hygienically ground weld seams are required, as well as a device for CIP cleaning..

In the pharmaceutical and chemical industry, stainless steel flat-bottom tanks are used as non-pressurized storage tanks for chemicals, process liquids and raw materials. The cylindrical tanks are particularly suitable for chemically stable media and applications without operating overpressure. Since many pharmaceutical and chemical processes often require an operating pressure or demanding temperature-controlled process conditions, flat-bottom tanks are less common in these industries than in the beverage and food industry.

Stainless steel flat-bottom vessels are primarily used as raw material storage tanks for stocking and providing liquids. They enable large storage capacities and safe installation from a structural perspective.

In the dairy and milk industry, insulated flat-bottom tanks are used for storing milk, skimmed milk, raw milk, cream or milk intermediate products. Stainless steel vessels and tanks provide a food-compliant, hygienic and flavor-neutral storage environment for sensitive milk products. The vertical tank design on a flat bottom enables space-saving installation, often outdoors as part of an existing tank farm.

Flat-bottom tanks are used as milk storage tanks exclusively in insulated versions, often with a side-entry agitator to keep the milk moving. This requires hygienic internal surfaces, ground weld seams and a CIP-capable design for easy cleaning.

In the environment and recycling sector, stainless steel flat-bottom tanks are used for storing water, process liquids and reprocessed media. Stainless steel storage tanks are used, among other things, in water treatment plants, wastewater treatment or raw material recovery facilities. Their corrosion-resistant design ensures long-term and safe storage under atmospheric conditions.

Stainless steel flat-bottom vessels are part of industrial tank systems for the collection and provision of liquids for recycling and environmental processes. The robust design and high corrosion resistance enable use in demanding industrial environments as well as reliable integration into existing infrastructure.
