Buffer tanks are widely used in pharmaceutical, food, and beverage engineering. They are known by different names in various applications, such as buffer tank, temporary storage tank, or intermediate storage tank. The medium can be liquid, gas, or solid.
This equipment is a liquid storage container composed of a cycloidal-pinwheel planetary reducer, stirring paddle, thermometer, etc.
- Inner Liner: Made of stainless steel plate (304 or 316L) with a polished surface.
- Middle Jacket: Constructed from 304 stainless steel plate. Cold or hot water flows from bottom to top to achieve optimal temperature control.
- Insulation Layer: The outer layer is made of stainless steel plate with a fish-scale pattern. The insulation layer uses polyurethane or glass wool to maintain temperature difference with the outside, achieving thermal insulation.
- Reducer: Cycloidal-pinwheel planetary reducer fixed on the tank top. The output shaft of the reducer is connected to the agitator with a loose sleeve for easy disassembly and cleaning.
- Manhole: Designed for cleaning or maintenance.
- Thermometer: Installed on the tank top, extending to the lowest medium level to indicate the temperature when the liquid material is at the lowest position, ensuring optimal temperature control.
