Stainless Steel Utility Tanks

Available in a massive range of sizes, from 6-liter benchtop units to 169-liter floor-standing utility tanks.

Key Functional Benefits:

• Superior Heat Transfer: The encapsulated base significantly reduces the time required to reach boiling point compared to single-layer steel pots, improving laboratory workflow efficiency.
• Induction Ready: The magnetic properties of the base allow these tanks to be used with high-precision induction cooktops, providing a flame-free heating alternative for safer lab operations.
• Rugged Mobility: Heavy-duty, heat-resistant handles are securely attached to the tank body, allowing for safe transport even when the vessel is at elevated temperatures.
• Hygienic Design: The 304 stainless steel interior is non-reactive and easy to sanitize, making it ideal for food science, pharmaceutical preparation, and large-batch microbiology media.

Operational & Safety Insights:

• Weight Management: When utilizing the larger tanks (50L to 169L), ensure the heating surface and laboratory bench are rated for the total weight of the tank plus the liquid (approx. 1kg per liter).
• Thermal Expansion: While handles are heat-resistant, always use secondary heat-resistant gloves (PPE) when handling tanks at boiling temperatures to prevent steam burns.
• Cleaning: To maintain the mirror finish and prevent pitting, avoid long-term exposure to high concentrations of chlorides. After use with salt-heavy solutions, rinse thoroughly with deionized water and dry to prevent water spots.
