20,000L Food Grade Stainless Steel Horizontal Storage Tank
We build this 20,000L single-wall horizontal tank for processors who need reliable bulk storage of edible oils, dairy intermediates, and beverage concentrates. It’s not a multi-purpose vessel – it’s designed around the specific demands of food-grade liquid handling.
Material & Fabrication
Standard construction uses SUS304 stainless steel with 2B finish for the shell. For acidic or saline products (citrus juices, brines, whey), we recommend SUS316L to resist pitting. All internal welds are argon-arc welded and passivated, ground to Ra ≤ 0.8 µm. No crevices or dead zones where bacteria can harbor. The tank floor is sloped 2° toward the outlet for complete drainage – essential for CIP systems.
Design & Options
The horizontal configuration saves ceiling height in tight production halls. Saddle supports distribute load evenly. Standard working pressure is atmospheric; if you need vacuum or 0.5 bar gauge, we add stiffening rings and re-calculate shell thickness per ASME or GB150 standards. Manhole located on top for inspection, with optional side manway. Outlet port size 2” or 3” tri-clamp. We can install insulated cladding and electric heat tracing for temperature-sensitive oils.
Typical Applications
- Edible oil storage (soybean, palm, sunflower) – no heating required unless ambient below 15°C
- Raw milk buffer tanks in dairies – must hold ≤4°C with jacket cooling
- Beverage syrup and concentrate holding – require CIP spray ball and vent filter
Each application demands different fittings. That’s why we don’t sell one-size-fits-all tanks.

| Connections | Tri-clamp, flange, or camlock |
| Surface finish | Internal Ra ≤ 0.8 μm, external brushed or painted |
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this tank for crude oil storage?
A: Not recommended. Crude oil contains sulfur and sediment that require carbon steel or lined vessels. This tank is for refined, food-grade products.
Q: Do I need a pressure relief valve?
A: For atmospheric tanks, a vent with insect screen is sufficient. If you plan to connect to a CIP system or steam-in-place, we need to discuss pressure rating.
Q: How long does fabrication take?
A: Typically 4–6 weeks from order. We can expedite for standard sizes.
