Tanks, Vessels & Kettles encompasses a range of equipment designed for the treatment, processing, and temporary storage of various bulk liquids, including edible oils and slurries, integral to the food and beverage industry. These apparatuses, which include tanks, vessels, kettles, and silos, are engineered to meet stringent industry standards for safety, hygiene, and efficiency. They are versatile in their applications, catering to the needs of operations of varying scales, from small artisan producers to large-scale manufacturing plants. The equipment is constructed to ensure optimal preservation of product quality during processing or storage, featuring designs that facilitate easy cleaning, maintenance, and, in some cases, the controlled heating or cooling of contents.

Typical products and applications include:

• Edible oils and fats: Temporarily stored or treated in heated tanks to maintain fluidity
• Sauces, syrups, and soups: Mixed, cooked, or held at specific temperatures in jacketed kettles
• Beverages like juices or dairy: Stored in insulated tanks before pasteurization or filling
• Liquid ingredients and slurries: Held in mixing vessels during batch or continuous processing
• Fermentation processes (e.g., beer, kombucha): Managed in closed tanks with temperature and pressure control

Additional Considerations:

• Maintains product quality: Many tanks are insulated or temperature-controlled to protect sensitive ingredients
• Available in a range of sizes: From small kettles for test kitchens to large-capacity silos for industrial storage
• Easy to clean: Many feature smooth surfaces and clean-in-place (CIP) systems to meet hygiene requirements
• Flexible use: Can be used for holding, mixing, heating, or cooling, depending on process needs
• Meets safety standards: Built with food-safe materials and designed to prevent contamination or leaks
