Buffer tanks for powdered or granulated solids storage
Enhance your production line with buffer tanks designed for precise dosing and uninterrupted extraction, ensuring efficient handling of powdered and granulated products like sugar and starch.
Stores, Doses, and Discharges Solids
The INOXPAGO Buffer Tanks are engineered from corrosion-resistant AISI-316 stainless steel, providing robust storage solutions for powdered and granulated products across the food, dairy, bakery, beverage, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. This equipment utilizes an exclusive mechanical extraction system to prevent bridging, ensuring seamless and uniform discharge even with challenging substances like sugar and starch. Capable of supplying multiple processing lines without flow reduction, these tanks are ideal for both continuous and manual operations. Volume capacities range from 1 to 5 m³, with an atmospheric pressure design, and feature internal and external surface finishes for easy cleaning. Whether used for storage, dosing, or as expansion tanks to facilitate maintenance, these tanks integrate smoothly into existing systems, enhancing overall line efficiency.
