The geometry of a tank’s top and bottom has a direct impact on performance and process efficiency.
Conical bottoms are engineered for complete product discharge and effective CIP (clean-in-place) cycles. Fluids and solids are guided to a single outlet point, making these tanks ideal for brewing, dairy, food processing, and chemical applications,where maximizing yield and maintaining hygiene are critical.
Domed or sloped tops help manage internal pressure, prevent product foaming or splashing, and accommodate mixers, agitators, or pressure relief systems.
There isn’t a hard-and-fast rule for top and bottom design; the choice depends on the product and process requirements.
These aren’t just cosmetic details,they’re functional design features that ensure tanks meet the demanding standards of modern industry.

When it comes to stainless steel tanks, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all grade. 304 stainless steel is the most commonly used,it’s strong, versatile, and suitable for food, beverage, chemicals, and many other products.
316 stainless steel often gets a reputation as “the best” because of its added molybdenum, which gives it superior resistance to chlorides and harsh chemicals. However, that doesn’t mean it’s always the right choice.
While 316 is required for certain products, it’s not accurate to assume that 304 can’t be used for food-grade or chemical applications. There are specific situations where 316 is necessary, but 304 may be perfectly suitable in many cases. We recommend checking with us if you’re unsure whether 316 is truly required.
There’s also 3CR12, a lean stainless steel with excellent toughness and abrasion resistance, designed for rugged environments where durability is more important than chemical resistance.
The “best” stainless steel isn’t about the number,it’s about choosing the grade that fits the job.

In summary: Always check with us to determine the most appropriate stainless steel grade for your particular tank.

Did you know stainless steel tanks can stay in service for decades without losing their strength? Unlike concrete or plastic tanks that can crack, wear down, or leak over time, stainless steel has a built-in defence against corrosion, a thin self-healing layer that forms on its surface. Even if it gets scratched, this protective barrier naturally repairs itself, making the tank incredibly resilient. That’s why many companies see a stainless steel tank not just as equipment, but as a long-term investment that often lasts a lifetime.
