Stainless Steel Storage, Buffer & Holding Vessels

Fabdec designs and manufactures bespoke stainless steel storage tanks for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and chemical processing applications. Each vessel is engineered around the product, required capacity and its position within the wider production process.

Vessels can be configured for bulk storage, temporary product holding or buffering between process stages. Options include insulation, heating and cooling surfaces, hygienic fittings, level monitoring, agitation and automated controls.

Why Choose Fabdec Storage Vessels?

Fabdec storage vessels are designed around the product and production environment rather than selected from a fixed range. This allows the capacity, geometry and connections to be matched to the available space and process layout.

Heating, cooling or gentle agitation can be incorporated where the stored product must remain within defined conditions. Hygienic finishes, CIP equipment and carefully positioned outlets can also support cleaning and efficient product recovery.

Instrumentation and control options can monitor vessel contents and coordinate transfers between process stages. Each vessel is manufactured in Britain using stainless steel construction suited to demanding industrial applications.
