Overview & Basic Definition
A transfer tank acts as a turnover or transfer buffer. It comes in two main types: mobile stainless steel tanks and fixed tanks. Its styles vary widely—some have covers while others do not, and some are detachable while others are closed.
Alternative Names & Structure
In stainless steel storage tanks, small-sized transfer storage tanks are often called turnover tanks. They also go by other names, such as turnover buckets, material cylinders, material tanks, mobile material tanks, or mobile storage tanks.
Most turnover tanks are hygienic, clean containers with a fully closed or semi-closed, single-layer, vertical structure. They are equipped with mobile casters, making them movable storage containers for liquid materials.
Application & Features
These tanks are used to transfer liquid materials—including large-volume infusions, injections, biological products, fermentation broths, yogurt, and pure milk—to other locations. They offer flexible, lightweight movement and easy passage through different spaces.
Specifications & Material
Nominal volumes include a series of specifications: 50L, 100L, 200L, 300L, 400L, 500L, 600L, 800L, 1000L, and 2000L. Manufacturers use stainless steel SUS304 or SUS316L to make the equipment.
