Industrial Stainless Steel (304 & 316L) Storage and Mixing Tanks

Equipodia is a premier UK supplier of premium-grade stainless steel storage tanks and pressure vessels. We bridge the gap between world-class engineering and commercial viability by supplying fully customisable vertical and horizontal vessels built strictly to international standards.

From high-purity pharmaceutical storage to robust chemical containment, our engineering capabilities support project volumes ranging from 50L to 300,000L—available in both standard configurations and bespoke, client-specific fabrications.

Engineered Configurations for Industrial Demands

No two industrial processes are identical. Equipodia designs and delivers custom configurations engineered to optimise your plant's operational layout, footprint, and thermal dynamics:

• Vertical Storage Tanks: Engineered with conical, dished, or flat sloped bottoms to ensure total, unhindered drainage. Optimal for space-restricted industrial footprints.

• Horizontal Storage Tanks: Ideal for height-restricted facilities or large-scale bulk processing installations where structural load distribution across a wider area is essential.

• Jacketed & Insulated Vessels: Equipped with high-efficiency dimple, limpet coil, or conventional heating/cooling jackets. Perfect for precise temperature maintenance in dairy, food, volatile solvent, or exothermic chemical processes.

Why Partner with Equipodia?

• Global Manufacturing Economy, Local Support: By managing advanced fabrication facilities in China alongside our technical headquarters in the UK, we offer unmatched cost efficiencies without compromising on rigorous material testing and engineering oversight.

• Rigorous Quality Control: Every vessel undergoes comprehensive inspection regimes, including radiographic weld testing, dye penetrant checks, and mandatory hydrostatic testing certified by leading international notify bodies (such as LRQA) prior to shipping.

• End-to-End Logistics: We manage the complexities of international freight, customs clearance, and local UK delivery, delivering a seamless procurement process directly to your site.

Material integrity is non-negotiable when dealing with industrial fluids. We strictly build using verified, high-performance alloys tailored to your environment's chemical compatibility:

• SS304 / SS304L: The industry benchmark for excellent corrosion resistance in standard food and beverage processing, dairy, and light industrial storage.

• SS316 / SS316L: Enhanced with Molybdenum for superior resistance against pitting and crevice corrosion, making it the required choice for aggressive chemicals, chlorides, and sterile pharmaceutical environments.

• International Regulatory Compliance: Every tank can be fabricated, fully certified, and third-party inspected to align with your regional regulatory frameworks, including:

  • PED (Pressure Equipment Directive) & BS EN 13445 for European and UK installations.

  • ASME Section VIII compliance for North American engineering specifications.

  • ATEX Compliance for hazardous zone installations involving explosive atmospheres or volatile solvents.

Sector-Specific Engineering Capabilities

1. Chemical Processing & Industrial Effluent

Robust, heavy-wall containment engineered to resist industrial chemical wear. We handle high-density and medium-pressure storage challenges, ensuring total structural safety and compliance with environmental regulations. (For highly corrosive mineral acids, ask our engineering team about our specialised tantalum cladding solutions.)

2. Pharmaceuticals, Cosmetics & Bio-tech

Ultra-hygienic vessels adhering strictly to GMP and FDA criteria. Features include crack-and-crevice-free construction, aseptic tri-clamp fittings, and surface finishing down to mirror-polished or electro-polished levels (Ra ≤ 0.4 µm) to eliminate bacterial adherence.

3. Food, Beverage, & Brewing

Sanitary processing tanks featuring internally ground-smooth welds. We supply custom fermentation vessels, bright beer tanks, and bulk ingredient storage designed for rigorous Clean-in-Place (CIP) regimes.

Technical Specifications & Custom Customisation

We don't just supply stock containers; we deliver fully integrated process components. Your Equipodia tank can be customised with a wide range of process instrumentation:

• Agitation Systems: Top or bottom-entering mixers (anchor, propeller, paddle, or high-shear emulsifiers) matched to your fluid's specific viscosity profile.

• Nozzle Configurations: Custom-oriented sight glasses, manways (oval, round, pressure-rated), CIP spray balls, level sensors, and temperature thermowells.

• Surface Finish Profile: From standard mill finishes to high-grit mechanical polishing and electro-polishing, customized precisely to your application.
