This F. Widmann & Sohn Apparatebau tank container, also referred to as a process vessel or jacketed tank, is a stainless steel cooking and heating vessel designed for the controlled preparation or processing of liquids and semi-liquid products. Jacketed tanks of this type are widely used in the food, dairy, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries wherever precise temperature management and hygienic construction are required.
The vessel is built from stainless steel grade 1.4541 (equivalent to AISI 321), a stabilised austenitic alloy chosen for its corrosion resistance and suitability for food-contact and process applications. The main chamber has a total volume of 160 litres, with internal dimensions of 680 mm diameter by 600 mm depth. The surrounding heating or cooling jacket holds an additional 31 litres and is rated for a working pressure of 4 bar, allowing steam or hot water to be circulated around the vessel wall for indirect heating or temperature control.
The unit is configured as a cooking vessel and is mounted on a frame that allows the vessel to be tilted, facilitating emptying and cleaning without additional lifting equipment. No motor or agitator drive is fitted, so the vessel in its current form operates without mechanical mixing. The overall footprint is 1.4 × 1.1 metres, and the total height is 1.0 metre, making it a compact unit suited to smaller production environments or pilot-scale processing. The machine carries internal reference number 1346B-3, dates from 1966, and is located in Barneveld, Netherlands.
