Every manufacturing process has its own unique requirements – based on the ingredients and the product being produced. Because of their durability, resistance to corrosion, ease of maintenance, and ability to endure extreme temperatures, stainless steel tanks are a popular option in manufacturing processes across numerous diverse industries. This wide range of potential applications means that the same product may find its way into a chemical plant, a food and beverage processing facility, or a pharmaceutical manufacturing floor. Zwirner Equipment reconditions and fabricates stainless steel tanks for many applications, including: Chemical Industrial Applications: Stainless steel tanks are often put to work in the chemical industry, primarily for the storage and transportation of various chemicals. The durability and corrosion resistance of these tanks become of paramount importance when companies are dealing with harsh chemicals that have the potential to damage a lesser vessel. Stainless steel tanks and equipment can be found installed in chemical plants and laboratories across the country – as well as being used for safe chemical transportation. However, storage and transportation are not the only aspects of chemical manufacturing where steel tanks are useful – stainless steel is also prevalent in the manufacturing process for chemical products. Stainless steel tanks are utilized for mixing, blending, and reacting a wide range of chemicals. Food and Beverage Industry Applications: Stainless steel tanks are commonly used in the food and beverage industry to facilitate a vast roster of manufacturing processes. They might be used to safely store raw ingredients, process and prepare a wide range of food and beverages, and transport the finished product to their final point of sale. One of the most well-known uses for these tanks is in the dairy industry, where stainless steel is used for the production, storage, and transportation of some of our favorite consumer products, from milk and butter to cheese, yogurt, and ice cream. Stainless steel tanks are also often seen as the equipment of choice for craft beer and wine production. The stainless-steel tanks are ideal for fermenting, aging, and storing the finished product. The demanding production conditions of the brewing and wine-making process require a material that is exceptionally durable – and stainless steel is the best material for the job. One of the primary benefits of utilizing these types of tanks in the food industry is their ability to maintain and protect the inherent quality of the food or beverage stored inside the tank. Stainless steel is non-reactive and does not allow any flavors or odors to leach into the final stored product. It is also easy to clean and maintain, making it a hygienic option for food processing and storage. Oil and Gas Applications: Steel tanks guarantee the safe storage of crude oil, refined products, and natural gas liquids. They are designed to endure severe or harsh conditions, including standing up to the corrosive compounds utilized during oil and gas processing. Stainless steel offers a reliable containment solution, eliminating leaks and ensuring safety. During the oil and gas extraction and refining process, wastewater is generated. Stainless steel tanks are also appropriate for separating, storing and treating wastewater efficiently. Overall, stainless steel’s corrosion resistance, durability, and ability to withstand extreme temperatures make it the perfect material for oil and gas processing systems. Stainless steel tanks offer a wide range of applications in many industries not listed here, including cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. They are a versatile and reliable choice for a wide range of industries – and because of their longevity, purchasing reconditioned, pre-owned tanks can save your business significant amounts of money.
