This used tank and container — also known as a storage vessel or process tank — is an 18,100-litre aseptic and sterile stainless steel tank manufactured by Karasek, a company known for producing high-specification process equipment for the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. Designed for the hygienic storage and processing of sensitive products under controlled conditions, this type of vessel is a core component in aseptic production lines where contamination control and the ability to withstand elevated temperatures and pressures are essential.
The tank is constructed in an upright, cylindrical configuration with a double jacket, allowing for temperature regulation through an external heating or cooling medium. The vessel is fabricated from grade 1.4435 stainless steel in the charging room (inner vessel), a high-purity austenitic alloy commonly specified for pharmaceutical and food-grade applications due to its low carbon content and excellent corrosion resistance. The boiler room (outer jacket) is built from grade L) stainless steel, another corrosion-resistant alloy well suited to demanding hygienic environments.
Both the inner vessel and the outer jacket are rated compression- and vacuum-proof to +4 bar positive pressure and -1 bar vacuum, with an inspection pressure of 6.5 bar for each. The tank supports a working temperature of up to 145 °C, making it suitable for sterilisation-in-place (SIP) processes. These combined pressure, vacuum, and temperature ratings confirm the vessel's suitability for fully aseptic production environments operating under validated hygienic conditions.
The tank is located in Germany and is offered in used condition.
