Stainless Tanks

Stainless steel tanks are essential components of many commercial and industrial processes. From food and beverage processing and chemical processing to pharmaceutical production and refiners, these robust, corrosion-resistant containers are used to store, transport, and process a wide range of substances and are much more effective than plastic tanks. Whether you need a single stainless steel tank or a complete system of high-capacity alloy storage tanks, the right choice of material and design will ensure the safety and efficacy of your operation.

Stainless steel is the most common material used for tanks and storage containers due to its strength and durability. It's also highly resistant to corrosion, making it a popular choice for beverage and food storage and hazardous material storage. Stainless steel tanks come in various shapes and sizes, from small gallon vessels for holding liquids to large horizontal tanks and gallon vertical tanks for storing bulk quantities of materials. Depending on the contents of the stainless steel tank, some process plants may require special features such as mixers, impellers, agitation systems, pressure relief valves for pressure tanks, temperature control capabilities, and more.

From gallon tanks and kettles to pressure tanks and high-capacity storage tanks, when it comes to industrial processes, precision stainless steel tanks are an indispensable asset. Whether they are used to store beverages, chemicals, or food, used stainless tanks make it easy to store and transport products safely. When it comes to stainless steel tanks, one of the most important components is the bottom. No matter if you need horizontal or vertical tanks, the type of bottom will determine how the stainless steel tank is used and how effective it is.

A flat-bottom tank is one of the most common types of stainless steel tanks. This type of stainless steel tank has a flat bottom that sits directly on the floor for stability and is often used for mixing and storing liquids. Flat-bottom tanks can also have casters for easier mobility. Dish bottom tanks have a concave bottom that slopes outward from the single wall of the tank. This type of stainless steel bottom is great for storing liquids that need to be completely sealed off.

Cone bottom tanks are designed with a cone bottom that slopes outward from the tank wall. This type of tank bottom is great for storing and mixing liquid products, as it helps keep the product in motion and prevents it from settling in one spot. Similarly, slope bottom tanks help improve the efficiency of the tank. The sloped bottom allows material or liquid to flow from one side to the other, making it easier for the tank to operate at its peak capacity. These types of tanks are good for brewery and distillery processes, among others. Genemco offers a large selection of quality used tanks, from stainless steel and carbon steel to alloy.
