Stainless Steel Storage Tanks
A stainless steel storage tank is a container designed for securely holding liquids and gases. They are usually cylindrical in shape so that they can endure stress from hydraulic pressure. Stainless steel storage tanks can range in capacity from a gallon or two to over a million gallons and are designed for the specific storage of food, beverages, chemicals, gases, and water.
Dairy tanks are a type of storage tanks commonly made of stainless steel. They are used to hold milk until it is picked up for delivery from the dairy plant. While stored, milk must be cooled at a temperature of about 40 degrees Fahrenheit to keep it from spoiling. Tanks have to be cleaned after every use, so it is extremely helpful that stainless steel is easy to clean. The material's resistance to rust and corrosion also ensures that a tank will last for a relatively long period of time.
Stainless steel tanks have also recently come to be valued by wineries for the fermentation of wine. Most wineries use a double-walled tank that circulates coolant in between the two walls. This set-up gives winemakers the ability to better adjust the temperature of the tank to control fermentation, while the neutral material resists imparting foreign flavors on the wine. Wineries use stainless steel storage tanks for the same reasons as the rest of the food industry: they are easy to clean and exceptionally sanitary.
