Frequently asked questions

Food liquids

Do you build tanks for other food liquids too?

Yes. We design each tank around the product it will hold: tell us what you need to store or process, in what quantity and at what temperature.

Which steel do you use?

AISI 304L or 316L stainless steel, chosen to suit the product. We can also make just the top shell ring and the roof in 316L, with the rest in 304L.

What is your smallest capacity?

In our workshop, from 1,000 litres up to the largest size that can be transported. Beyond that, we build the tank directly on site: so far up to 15 m in diameter and 20 m high.

Can you control the temperature of the product?

Yes, with jackets carrying water, or water and glycol, cooled by a chiller, and by insulating the tank.

What product do you need to store?

Tell us the quantities too, and the temperature at which it must be kept.
