Mixing and storage tanks can be either atmospheric internal or pressure-rated internal. Pressure-rated tanks, often referred to as receivers, pressure receivers, or vacuum receivers, are ideal for more demanding applications. Kettles, typically jacketed tanks, offer agitation capabilities and can handle internal pressure and vacuum. Generally, kettles are rated at 15 psi or less, though some configurations allow for higher ratings. The distinction between a kettle and a reactor is based on pressure ratings, with reactors designed for higher-pressure applications.
Tank Orientation: Our tanks are available in both vertical and horizontal orientations, and some jacketed tanks may not be classified as kettles depending on their use case.

Frequently asked questions about Used Mixing Tanks & Kettles
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a reactor and a tank?
Reactors and tanks are both vessels used in industrial processes, but they serve distinct functions. Reactors are specifically designed to facilitate and contain chemical reactions, enabling controlled transformations of substances. In contrast, tanks are primarily used for storage, mixing, and blending of materials. Within the realm of chemical processing, reactors are indispensable for achieving desired chemical changes, while tanks play a crucial role in holding the reactants, intermediate products, and the final output of the process.
What is a solution preparation tank?
A solution prep tank is a specialized vessel that mixes and prepares liquid solutions. These tanks often incorporate features like temperature control and agitation for optimal results and are often made of high-grade stainless steel for proper hygiene. They are essential in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and food & beverage.
What are industrial tanks and kettles used for?
Tanks and kettles are suitable vessels for numerous industrial and commercial applications, such as food and beverage processing, chemical processing, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
What materials are tanks and kettles made from?
Common materials used in the manufacturing of tanks and kettles are aluminum, carbon steel, fiberglass or plastic, glass, special alloys, and stainless steel.
