DEGONG Stainless Steel Storage Tank | Industrial-Grade Food & Beverage Storage Systems

Introduction

In today’s fast-paced industrial environment, selecting the right stainless steel storage tank plays a critical role in ensuring product quality, production efficiency, and operational safety.

Whether you are in the food & beverage, brewery, dairy, chemical, or pharmaceutical industry, DEGONG stainless steel storage tanks provide durable, hygienic, and customizable solutions to meet your specific production demands.

This guide will walk you through the key considerations when choosing the perfect storage tank system for your facility.

Why Stainless Steel Storage Tanks Matter

Stainless steel tanks are preferred across industries because of their exceptional hygiene, corrosion resistance, and longevity. The right tank ensures consistent product quality and reduces long-term maintenance costs.

Key advantages include:

• Hygienic performance: Ideal for sanitary applications in food, beverage, and biotech production.

• Corrosion resistance: Protects against acids, chlorides, and temperature fluctuations.

• Structural durability: Designed for pressure resistance, temperature stability, and CIP cleaning cycles.

• Ease of customization: DEGONG tanks can be built with various fittings, jackets, and automation systems to suit different industries.

Key Factors in Selecting the Right Tank

1.Material Grade and Corrosion Resistance

• 304 Stainless Steel: Suitable for general-purpose liquids and non-corrosive environments.

• 316L Stainless Steel: Contains molybdenum for superior resistance to acids and chlorides, ideal for dairy, chemical, or pharmaceutical applications.

2.Structural Design and Functional Features

• Tank Bottom Options: Conical, flat, or dish bottoms — selected based on discharge and cleaning efficiency.

• Insulation & Cooling Jacket: Maintain precise temperature control for temperature-sensitive materials.

• Mixing and Agitation: Optional top or side-mounted agitators for homogenization or fermentation.

• Instrumentation & Control: Temperature sensors, level indicators, pressure gauges, and safety valves.

• Automation: DEGONG tanks can be integrated with PLC systems, remote monitoring, and automatic CIP units for full automation.

3.Production Scale and Future Expansion

Your storage capacity should align with current output and anticipated growth. DEGONG offers modular tank systems that can be easily expanded or integrated with existing lines as your business scales.

Application Scenarios by Industry

Food & Beverage Industry

• Emphasis on sanitary design, CIP cleaning, and mirror-polished interiors

• Ideal for fruit juice, milk, beer, wine, and cider production

Brewery and Fermentation

• Requires temperature precision, pressure tolerance, and smooth integration with fermentation or bright beer tanks

• DEGONG tanks are designed to maintain carbonation stability and flavor purity

Dairy and Pharmaceutical

• Often exposed to corrosive or high-acidity environments

• 316L tanks provide superior hygiene and chemical resistance

Chemical and Cosmetic Manufacturing

• Custom tank designs for viscous materials or reactive compounds

• Optional agitators, heating jackets, and ATEX-certified components for safety compliance

Step-by-Step Tank Selection Strategy

• Identify your product (liquid type, temperature, pressure, corrosiveness).

• Define the required capacity based on daily or batch production.

• Assess site conditions — space, height, drainage, utilities.

• Consult DEGONG engineers for customized drawings and system layout.

• Compare proposals on materials, accessories, and warranty coverage.

• Confirm contract details including delivery, installation, and training.
