Double Jacketed Tank – 50 Ltr. to 2500 Ltr.

Category:

Product Overview

Double Jacketed Tanks are hygienically designed process vessels used for storage, heating, cooling, temperature maintenance and controlled processing of liquid and semi-liquid products.

The tank is provided with a double-wall jacket around the product vessel through which hot water, chilled water, steam or another suitable heating/cooling medium can be circulated. This allows controlled heat transfer without direct contact between the utility medium and the product.

The tanks are available from 50 Litre to 2500 Litre capacity and can be manufactured in SS 304, SS 316 or SS 316L according to product compatibility and process requirements.

They are suitable for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, dairy, Ayurvedic, herbal, nutraceutical, chemical and allied industries.

Construction Details

  1. Inner Product Vessel

The inner vessel is fabricated from high-quality stainless steel and serves as the product-contact chamber. The material can be selected as SS 304, SS 316 or SS 316L depending on the formulation and required corrosion resistance.

The internal surface can be supplied with a smooth hygienic finish to minimize product retention and facilitate cleaning.

  1. Double Jacket

The external jacket forms a controlled utility chamber around the product vessel.

The jacket can be designed for:

  • Hot water circulation
  • Chilled water circulation
  • Steam heating
  • Thermal fluid circulation

The jacket configuration and heat-transfer area are selected according to the required heating/cooling duty.

  1. Jacket Connections

Suitable connections are provided for utility circulation:

  • Jacket inlet
  • Jacket outlet
  • Drain
  • Vent
  • Pressure gauge connection
  • Safety/relief arrangement where required

The utility connections can be customized according to the customer’s heating or cooling system.

  1. Top Cover

The vessel can be supplied with a fixed, removable or hinged top cover.

The cover can incorporate:

  • Product charging inlet
  • Manhole
  • Agitator mounting
  • Spray ball
  • Vent
  • Level sensor
  • Temperature sensor
  • Additional process connections
  1. Bottom Design

The bottom configuration can be selected according to the application:

  • Flat bottom
  • Dished bottom
  • Conical bottom
  • Sloped bottom

A sloped or conical bottom is recommended where improved drainage and minimum product retention are required.

Heating & Cooling System

The double jacket provides indirect heating or cooling of the product.

Heating

The tank can be heated using:

  • Hot water
  • Steam
  • Thermal oil/thermal fluid

Cooling

The tank can be cooled using:

  • Chilled water
  • Cooling water
  • Glycol/water solution where applicable
  • Other compatible cooling medium

The required utility temperature, pressure, flow rate and heat-transfer area should be finalized according to the actual process.

Temperature Control

For controlled processing, the tank can be integrated with a temperature-control system comprising:

  • RTD / temperature sensor
  • Digital temperature indicator
  • Temperature controller
  • Solenoid/control valve
  • Utility circulation system
  • PLC/HMI control

This allows the product temperature to be monitored and maintained within the desired process range.

Agitator Option

An agitator can be installed where the product requires continuous mixing during heating or cooling.

Available agitator configurations include:

  • Propeller type
  • Paddle type
  • Turbine type
  • Anchor type
  • Scraper type
  • Customized impeller

The agitator motor, shaft diameter and impeller design are selected according to product viscosity, tank dimensions and mixing requirements.

Insulation

For applications involving elevated or low temperatures, the tank can be provided with thermal insulation.

Typical construction consists of:

Product Vessel → Double Jacket → Insulation → SS External Cladding

Insulation helps reduce heat loss/heat gain and improves operator safety by reducing the external surface temperature.

Surface Finish

Product-contact surfaces can be supplied with a hygienic finish suitable for the application.

Available options include:

  • Smooth finish
  • Buff finish
  • Mirror polish
  • Customized sanitary finish

Internal welds can be properly ground, dressed and polished to reduce crevices and product accumulation.

Cleaning & Hygiene

For GMP-oriented applications, the tank can be configured for easy cleaning with:

  • Smooth internal surfaces
  • Polished internal welds
  • Sanitary Tri-Clamp connections
  • Bottom drainage
  • Spray ball
  • CIP arrangement
  • Sanitary valves
  • Removable top cover

Optional Instrumentation

The following instruments can be supplied according to process requirements:

  • Digital temperature indicator
  • RTD temperature sensor
  • Temperature controller
  • Pressure gauge
  • Jacket pressure gauge
  • Level indicator
  • Level transmitter
  • Level switch
  • Sight glass
