What are Storage Tanks?
Storage tanks are used for holding and storing liquids, semi-solid products, powders, and other processing materials in industrial production. They are widely used in the cosmetics, pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries.
Most storage tanks are manufactured from SUS304 or SUS316L stainless steel with polished inner surfaces for easier cleaning and sanitary production requirements. Depending on the application, the tanks can be equipped with agitators, heating systems, cooling jackets, or insulation layers.
Storage tanks help maintain product stability and support material storage and transfer during the production process.
How to Choose the Appropriate Storage Tank?
Choosing the correct storage tank is important for stable production and safe material handling. Different products and manufacturing processes require different tank structures, materials, and functions. Selecting the proper tank can help reduce equipment problems and improve production efficiency.
When choosing a storage tank, factors such as product type, storage capacity, material requirements, and processing conditions should be considered. Stainless steel tanks made from SUS304 or SUS316L are commonly used in the cosmetics, pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries.
Depending on the application, storage tanks can be designed as movable tanks, fixed tanks, vacuum storage tanks, or horizontal storage tanks. Some tanks are equipped with agitators, heating systems, cooling jackets, or insulation layers according to the production process.
Customized storage tanks can also be manufactured based on factory layout, product characteristics, and process requirements.
Types of Storage Tanks
CG Open Storage Tanks
CG Open Storage Tanks are open storage vessels designed for holding liquids, semi-solids, and solid materials under normal atmospheric conditions. These tanks are commonly used in production processes where vacuum sealing is not required.
The tank is equipped with swivel castor wheels at the bottom, allowing it to be moved easily between different working areas. This type of tank is suitable for temporary storage, material transfer, and flexible production environments.
CG Closed Storage Tanks
CG closed storage vessels designed with a top cover and manhole. They are used for products that need protection from dust, air, and external contamination during storage.
Unlike movable storage tanks, fixed tanks are installed permanently in one location without wheels. They are commonly used in continuous production lines in the cosmetics, pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries.
CG Sanitary Storage Tanks
CG Sanitary Storage Tanks are hygienic stainless steel storage vessels designed for storing purified water, liquid products, and other sanitary materials in controlled production environments.
The tank adopts a fully closed sanitary structure with a standard manhole for easier inspection and cleaning. The inner surface is manufactured from SS304 or SS316L stainless steel with mirror polishing treatment to reduce residue and support hygienic production requirements.
CG Sanitary Storage Tanks are available in capacities from 100L to 10000L for laboratory use and industrial production. The tank is supported by stable stainless steel legs and can be installed for both indoor and outdoor applications.
These storage tanks are suitable for pharmaceutical purified water, cosmetic liquids, beverage solutions, syrups, food additives, surfactants, and other sanitary liquid materials.
CG Horizontal Storage Tanks
CG Horizontal Storage Tanks are closed vessels with a horizontal structure. This design improves transportation convenience and helps reduce liquid movement inside the tank during transfer.
Horizontal tanks are also suitable for factories with height limitations where vertical tanks cannot be installed easily. In some applications, the horizontal structure can help maintain product temperature more efficiently during storage.
The Quality Control of Liquid Mixers
Storage tank are designed in accordance with Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) regulations, which are widely applied in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food manufacturing industries. CGMP guidelines focus on proper design, process control, and monitoring of production systems to ensure consistent manufacturing performance.
Compliance with CGMP standards helps maintain stable product quality by ensuring controlled production procedures and structured operational management. It also supports the implementation of quality management systems that define clear operating procedures for each stage of production.
In addition, CGMP requirements include the management of process variations and product quality monitoring. This allows manufacturers to identify and review deviations during production and maintain consistent output quality.
Through compliance with CGMP standards, vacuum mixing equipment can support reliable and controlled manufacturing processes suitable for regulated industrial applications.
