Fabricated with heavy-gauge AISI SS 304/316 food-grade stainless steel, engineered for 24/7 continuous hygienic operation, high thermal efficiency, and minimal dairy maintenance.
Food oil tank, also known as cooking oil tanks or edible oil tanks, are specialized containers used to store oils used in food preparation. Here are some key points about them:
Material : Food oil tanks are typically made from food-grade stainless steel or sometimes from high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Stainless steel tanks are preferred for their durability and resistance to corrosion.
Capacity : These tanks come in various capacities, ranging from small units for household use to large tanks used in commercial kitchens or food processing industries.
Design : They are designed to be hygienic and easy to clean to maintain food safety standards. Many have features like smooth interiors and sloped bottoms to facilitate easy drainage and cleaning.
Uses : Food oil tanks are used to store a variety of cooking oils, such as vegetable oil, olive oil, canola oil, and others used in food preparation. They help in keeping oils fresh and free from contaminants.
Safety : They often come with secure lids or covers to prevent contamination and maintain the quality of the oil. Some tanks may also have temperature control features to ensure the oil remains at optimal storage conditions.
Regulations : In commercial settings, these tanks must meet regulatory standards for food safety and storage, ensuring they are suitable for storing edible oils.
Overall, food oil tanks play a crucial role in ensuring the quality and safety of cooking oils used in food production and preparation.
Authoritative technical answers regarding capacity sizing, food-grade sanitary construction, Clean-In-Place (CIP) cleaning, and dairy plant integration from Aviva Equipments engineers.
Every Food oil tank is fabricated strictly using food-grade AISI SS 304 or AISI SS 316 stainless steel with 100% argon-purged TIG sanitary welds. Surfaces are polished to food-grade smoothness to prevent bacterial harborages and oil degradation.
Our tanks are ideal for cooking oils, vegetable oil, palm oil, refined butter oil, mustard oil, soya oil, ghee, and edible syrups, maintaining product purity and preventing oxidation.
Yes. For oils that solidify at ambient room temperatures (such as palm oil or hydrogenated fats), Aviva equips tanks with dimple steam/hot water jackets and 50–100mm PUF or rockwool insulation to keep oil liquid and easily pumpable.
Recognized as a leading milk tank manufacturer and industrial vessel fabricator, Aviva supplies food oil storage tanks from 1,000 Litres up to 50,000 Litres in both vertical and horizontal configurations.
Standard equipment includes airtight manhole covers with silicone gaskets, hydrophobic air breather vents, digital level transmitters, sampling cocks, temperature thermowells, and rotary CIP spray balls.
