This temperature-controlled storage tank is a component of an integrated beverage syrup preparation and dosing system. It provides controlled-temperature storage for prepared syrups, ensuring product consistency, preventing degradation, and maintaining optimal viscosity for accurate dosing. The tank is available in capacities from 500 to 5000 liters, with custom sizes on request. It operates within a temperature range of -10°C to 60°C, with a control accuracy of ±0.5°C, and is designed for operating pressures of 0.1 to 0.4 MPa. Constructed from stainless steel grades 304 or 316L (ASTM A240), the tank features food-grade insulation with thickness options of 50 to 100 mm to reduce heat loss. Heating and cooling rates range from 0.5 to 2.0°C per minute, and the unit requires a three-phase power supply of 380 V AC ±10% (IEC 60038). Ingress protection ratings are IP54 to IP65 (IEC 60529), suitable for washdown environments. The empty weight varies from 300 to 1500 kg, and the footprint ranges from 800 to 2000 mm in diameter and 1500 to 4000 mm in height, depending on capacity. The working principle involves integrated heating/cooling systems such as jackets, coils, or external heat exchangers, controlled by temperature sensors and controllers to maintain syrup within specified ranges, typically 2-25°C depending on syrup type. This tank is designed for use in beverage manufacturing facilities where precise temperature control is critical for syrup quality and dosing accuracy. When selecting a tank, verify model-specific parameters, including capacity, temperature range, pressure ratings, and material grades, with the manufacturer or supplier. Regular maintenance should include checking insulation integrity, sensor calibration, and heating/cooling system performance. Failure to maintain proper temperature can lead to syrup degradation, viscosity changes, and inaccurate dosing. Always confirm that the tank meets your specific process requirements and applicable standards before installation.
The tank uses integrated heating/cooling systems, such as jackets, coils, or external heat exchangers, to regulate syrup temperature. Temperature sensors and controllers monitor and adjust the system to maintain the syrup within a specified range, typically 2-25°C, depending on syrup type. The control accuracy is ±0.5°C, ensuring consistent viscosity and quality. The system operates within a pressure range of 0.1-0.4 MPa and can heat or cool at rates of 0.5-2.0°C per minute. Insulation of 50-100 mm minimizes heat loss, and the tank is constructed from stainless steel 304/316L for durability and hygiene.
