Description

Available for sale is a used DCI 7,000-gallon jacketed stainless steel mix tank, previously used in sanitary food-processing applications.

Constructed of 316 stainless steel, the vessel measures approximately 8'6" in diameter x 16' high, with an approximate overall height of 23'6".

The tank is internally rated for 15 PSI at 250°F, while the heating/cooling jacket is rated for 135 PSI at 358°F. This combination provides capabilities for compatible processes requiring controlled vessel pressure and indirect heating or cooling.

The vessel features dished heads with a center-bottom outlet to facilitate product discharge and drainage.

A major feature is the 60 HP top-mounted mixer, providing substantial agitation power for large-volume blending and processing of compatible liquid and semi-liquid products.
