Buffer tanks for high viscosity fluids
Optimize your production line with buffer tanks designed to efficiently store, agitate, and heat high viscosity liquids, enhancing your processing capabilities.
Stores, Agitates, and Controls Temperature of Liquid Products
The PC 15, PC 35, and PC 60 buffer tanks from Soren offer exceptional versatility for food and dairy processing industries. These tanks are specially designed to efficiently manage the storage, agitation, and thermal regulation of liquid products, including creams, sauces, and pestos. With cone bottom angles available at 15°, 35°, or 60°, these tanks optimize the discharge process based on product viscosity, ensuring smooth operation. The tanks feature AISI 316L contact surfaces to resist corrosion, making them suitable for handling a wide range of ingredients. With hand-welded double jackets on walls and bottoms, these tanks facilitate effective heating and cooling with a maximum operating pressure of 4 bar. Their construction includes mineral wool insulation covered with AISI 304 sheets, anchor agitators with scraper blades, and adjustable sanitary feet, all contributing to streamlined integration into existing lines. Soren buffer tanks are engineered for continuous, pilot, and batch operations, catering to the needs of dairy producers, food processors, and beverage manufacturers. Experience reduced energy consumption and enhanced product quality with these robust and customizable solutions.
