Buffer tanks for powdered or granulated solids storage
In facilities where silos are some distance from the scales, precise dosing and continuous extraction of powdered or granulated products are critical challenges. Effective solutions are needed to prevent issues such as product bridging and inconsistent discharge rates.
Ensuring continuous and uniform product discharge
The INOXPA buffer tanks are designed for the intermediate storage of powdered or granulated products, ensuring consistent and efficient dosing. These tanks, available in capacities ranging from 1 to 5 tons, incorporate an exclusive mechanical extraction system that prevents bridging, ensuring continuous extraction even with troublesome products such as sugar and starch. Operating at atmospheric pressure and constructed from high-grade AISI-316 stainless steel, the tanks maintain uniform discharge and can supply multiple lines simultaneously without reducing flow rates. The internal surface finish is stripped and polished for hygiene, with an RA value of ≤ 0.8 μm, while the external is brushed for durability and easy cleaning. These tanks are ideal for use in industries such as food processing and pharmaceuticals where precise dosing and easy maintenance are paramount.
