Working volume serves a process need
Describe the flow interruption or holding duty the tank must accommodate. Working volume and a process schedule are more useful than a nominal vessel size without a level-control boundary.
Treat the pump and product as one decision
Product temperature, viscosity and retained particles affect discharge and transfer. Mixing is included where the product requires it; one tank arrangement should not be assumed suitable for every puree or juice.
Keep product and cleaning connections clear
Identify inlet, discharge, drain, instrument and cleaning connections. Coordinate tank level signals with the upstream and downstream machine responsibilities.
What to include in your enquiry
- Working volume and process schedule
- Viscosity, particles and temperature
- Mixing and transfer-pump requirements
- Level control, drain and cleaning circuits
Describe the product and the machine you need. Add the known process conditions; the remaining configuration can be discussed around your actual project.
