Spirit storage tank
Cassman
The storage of alcohol and spirits—classified as Class A flammable liquids—demands uncompromising attention to safety, compliance, and material integrity. Cassman offers a comprehensive range of storage tanks, from 0.5m³ to 100m³, meticulously designed to meet the stringent requirements of both the food-grade beverage industry and industrial applications.
We understand that every storage scenario is unique. That's why we offer three primary configurations that can be further customized to your exact operational requirements.
1. Single-Wall Storage Tank (Standard Duty)Ideal for conventional, ambient temperature storage in a controlled indoor environment. This configuration offers a cost-effective and reliable solution.
Best for: Storing finished spirits, holding tanks, and general-purpose alcohol storage without specific temperature or mixing needs.
Standard Fittings: Equipped with a breather valve (to balance internal pressure and reduce evaporation), a manhole (for easy cleaning and maintenance), and a level gauge (for real-time inventory monitoring).
2. Storage Tank with Integrated Agitator (Mixing Applications)Designed for processes that require blending, dilution, or maintaining a homogeneous mixture.
Best for: Blending different spirits, proofing, or mixing alcohol with other solvents.
Agitator Options:
Paddle Agitator: Perfect for low-viscosity liquids, ensuring high uniformity of the mixture.
Anchor Agitator: Operates close to the tank wall, minimizing residue and ideal for slightly more viscous applications.
Explosion-Proof System: The entire mixing system, including the motor (power matched to tank volume) and controls, is explosion-proof certified (compliant with GB 3836) to prevent ignition from electrical sparks. Speed is customizable (50-300 r/min).
3. Jacketed Storage Tank (Temperature Control)Crucial for applications where temperature control is necessary to prevent evaporation or manage reaction heat.
Best for: Long-term storage in environments with fluctuating temperatures, or for processes that require cooling.
Cooling System: A jacket is built around the tank, creating a sealed chamber. Chilled water or glycol can be circulated through this jacket to maintain a precise internal temperature (typically controlled between 5-25°C).
Efficiency: An external insulation layer (e.g., rock wool, polyurethane) is applied to the jacket to minimize energy loss and prevent condensation.
Explosion-Proof is a Non-Negotiable Standard:
All tanks and their accessories (motors, gauges, valves) are designed to meet national explosion-proof standards (e.g., Ex d IIB T4 Ga).
The tank area must be located away from all sources of ignition and static electricity.
All tanks are equipped with a dedicated electrostatic grounding point to ensure a grounding resistance of ≤10Ω.
Material Selection Guide:
| Alcohol Type | Recommended Material | Internal Finish | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Food-Grade Alcohol (e.g., Potable Ethanol, Whiskey, Gin) | SS304 / SS316L Stainless Steel | Polished to Ra≤0.8μm | Prevents material leaching, ensures product purity and flavor integrity. |
| Industrial-Grade Alcohol (e.g., 95% Industrial Ethanol) | SS304 Stainless Steel or Carbon Steel | Internal epoxy resin anti-corrosion coating (for carbon steel) | Provides a durable and safe storage solution while preventing rust and contamination from long-term contact. |
