Stainless Steel Storage Tanks, popularly known as SS Storage Tanks, are essential for industries that require safe, hygienic, and durable storage for liquids, chemicals, and other fluids. These tanks are highly corrosion-resistant, easy to maintain, and built to last, making them ideal for industrial operations. Times Automation is a leading manufacturer of SS Storage Tanks in India, offering customized solutions for various industrial applications.
Understanding SS Storage Tanks
SS Storage Tanks are manufactured using high-quality stainless steel such as SS 304 and SS 316, ensuring long-lasting durability and resistance to corrosion and contamination. These tanks are widely used in industries where safe storage of liquids and chemicals is critical. They provide a reliable solution for chemical storage, food & beverage processing, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment plants.
1. Vertical SS Storage Tanks
Vertical tanks are cylindrical storage units designed to save floor space while providing large capacity. They are ideal for chemical storage, water treatment, and beverage industries. Times Automation manufactures vertical SS tanks in capacities ranging from 500 liters to 50,000 liters.
2. Horizontal SS Storage Tanks
Horizontal tanks are compact and easy to install, making them suitable for industries with limited space. These tanks are commonly used in sugar plants, oil storage, and beverage industries. Times Automation provides horizontal SS tanks built for durability and industrial efficiency.
3. Jacketed SS Storage Tanks
Jacketed tanks feature an external layer that allows for heating or cooling of the contents. They are widely used in chemical, food, and dairy industries where temperature control is essential. Times Automation custom-builds jacketed tanks to maintain precise temperature control.
4. Insulated SS Storage Tanks
Insulated tanks help maintain the temperature of liquids, ensuring minimal heat loss and preventing contamination. These are commonly used in pharmaceutical, beverage, and sugar processing industries. Times Automation designs insulated tanks based on client-specific temperature and capacity requirements.
5. Mobile/Portable SS Storage Tanks
Mobile or portable tanks are designed for temporary storage and easy transportation within industrial facilities. These tanks are used in food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries for batch processing or temporary storage solutions. Times Automation produces robust portable tanks with secure fittings for safe transport.
