Sanitary Stainless Steel Storage & Fermentation Vessel
We build stainless steel storage tanks and fermentors for dairy, beverage, and alcohol processing lines. This vessel is designed for milk, ethanol, alcohol, and other sanitary liquid applications where cleanability and material integrity are non-negotiable.
The tank is fabricated from either SUS304 or SUS316L, depending on what you are storing. For milk and food products, 304 is typically sufficient. For ethanol, alcohol, or any process involving caustic cleaning agents or higher chloride exposure, 316L is the safer call. We weld with full penetration and back-purge argon to keep the interior smooth and crevice-free. Internal welds are ground and polished to a Ra ≤ 0.8 µm finish, which is what you want if you\’re running CIP cycles or need to meet food safety inspections.
Heads are dished (ellipsoidal or torispherical) for pressure duty, or cone-bottom for complete draining in fermentation applications. You can spec the tank with a dimple jacket, half-pipe coil, or an insulated outer shell if temperature control is part of your process. Manways, sight glasses, spray balls, and various inlet/outlet fittings are all customizable. If you need a pressure-rated vessel, we design and build to your required MAWP, with proper thickness calculations and hydrostatic testing. Vacuum service requires additional stiffening—don\’t assume a standard atmospheric tank will handle it.
These tanks are used in breweries, dairy plants, distilleries, cosmetic manufacturing, and pharmaceutical bulk storage. But each industry has different cleaning protocols and operating parameters, so we don\’t sell a one-size-fits-all unit. The right configuration depends on your specific process.

FAQ
How do I decide between 304 and 316L?
If you store alcohol, brine, or use aggressive cleaning chemicals, go with 316L. For general dairy or beverage storage, 304 is more economical and works fine.
Can you build a tank for vacuum service?
Yes, but it requires additional structural reinforcement. We need to know your maximum vacuum level and operating temperature to calculate the required shell thickness and stiffening rings.
What surface finish do I need for food contact?
We recommend Ra ≤ 0.8 µm for most food and beverage applications. For pharmaceutical use, we can go to an electropolished finish.
How do I determine the right capacity?
Calculate your batch volume plus headspace. For fermentation, you\’ll need extra capacity for foam and expansion. Tell us your working volume and we\’ll size the total tank volume accordingly.
When you\’re ready to get a quote, send us the following: the product you\’re storing, required working capacity, material grade preference, operating temperature, tank dimensions (or available floor space), and any special requirements like agitation or jacketed heating. We\’ll recommend the right configuration and provide a detailed quotation.
