Liquid food storage tanks belong to the category of liquid food equipment. Liquid food equipment refers to the mechanical equipment system used in the processing, storage, transportation, filling and other processes of liquid food (such as milk, juice, soy sauce, edible oil, beverages, etc.), which has professional requirements such as hygiene, safety, temperature control, and corrosion resistance.

Liquid food tanks include heating tanks, cooling tanks, mixing tanks, dissolving tanks, storage tanks, fermentation tanks, etc., depending on the process. Liquid food storage tanks are key equipment for the storage, buffering of raw materials, intermediate products or finished liquids in the process of liquid food processing. They are widely used in dairy products, beverages, condiments, edible vegetable oils, fermentation liquids and other sub-sectors. Its structure is usually made of food-grade stainless steel (such as SUS304/316L), which has good corrosion resistance and hygienic properties. The internal surface polishing can reach Ra≤0.6μm to prevent bacterial growth and material residue. Of course, plastic storage tanks are also used in some application scenarios.

1. Stainless Steel Tanks Continue to Dominate the Market
Stainless steel tanks maintain a dominant position due to their excellent hygiene, corrosion resistance, and adaptability to a wide range of temperature control requirements, accounting for over 80% of the market share in 2024. Although plastic tanks offer advantages in cost and weight, their market growth rate is slightly lower than that of stainless steel.
