Food Product Storage
Processed food storage is offered in both shop welded, field-welded and bolted RTP construction for milling, baking and food processing applications. Food grade tanks are manufactured in coated carbon steel and stainless steel construction. Designed and customized per your requirements, Tank Connection designs are certified to nationally recognized codes and local codes as required.
Typical food storage products: Flour, starch, sugar, rice, salt, soybean meal, cornmeal, DDG, corn gluten, dextrose, various meals, various flours, various processed foods, etc.
Specialized FDA approved coatings are applied to carbon steel tanks and thermally cured to the substrate surface in a controlled environment. Stainless steel tanks are chemically washed internally (for process food product protection) and externally (for aesthetic appearance) prior to shipment.
