Process Tanks

Falco process tanks are designed for mixing, heating, cooling, and product conditioning operations, providing precise control over processing conditions. Manufactured from stainless steel, they offer reliable solutions for the food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and cosmetic industries.

We design and manufacture custom process tanks tailored to the characteristics of each product and its specific viscosity, temperature, pressure, and agitation requirements, with optional fabrication in accordance with ASME Section VIII, Division 1.

Key Features

  • Capacities ranging from 50 L to 100,000 L.
  • Construction in 304L or 316L stainless steel, or specialty alloys (Duplex, Super Duplex, and 904L).
  • Heating and cooling jackets: dimple jackets, half-pipe jackets, conventional jackets, or laser-welded jackets.
  • Sanitary interior finishes with controlled surface roughness.
  • Sanitary connections: Tri-Clamp (TC), DIN, SMS, or custom configurations.
  • Integration of level, temperature, pressure, and flow sensors.
  • Lid options: hinged, fixed, torispherical, or equipped with a sight glass.
  • Engineering design using 3D modeling, technical drawings, and finite element analysis (FEA).

Agitation Options

Marine Propeller Agitators

Available depending on process requirements.

Generate strong, efficient axial flow, making them ideal for mixing low- to medium-viscosity liquids while minimizing dead zones inside the tank.

Axial-Flow and Radial-Flow Turbines

Axial-flow turbines move the product vertically to promote uniform mixing and keep solids suspended. Radial-flow turbines direct energy outward, making them suitable for chemical reactions and more intensive mixing applications.

Anchor Agitators with Scrapers

Low-speed agitators that continuously sweep the tank walls to prevent product buildup or scorching. Ideal for high-viscosity formulations and temperature-sensitive products.

High-Shear Mixers

Quickly break down, disperse, or emulsify ingredients within the tank. Ideal for creams, cosmetics, adhesives, and stable emulsions.

Dual Agitation Systems (Propeller + Anchor)

Combine high-speed mixing at the center of the tank with wall scraping to process complex or multiphase products while maintaining uniformity.

Sanitary and Industrial Mechanical Seals

Prevent leakage around the agitator shaft. Sanitary seals are designed for easy cleaning and compatibility with Clean-in-Place (CIP) and Sterilization-in-Place (SIP) systems, while industrial seals are engineered to withstand aggressive chemicals and demanding operating conditions.

Fixed-Speed and VFD-Controlled Motors

Fixed-speed motors operate at a constant speed, while variable frequency drives (VFDs) allow operators to adjust agitator RPM according to each processing stage, optimizing energy consumption and mixing performance.

1. Storage Tanks
  • Designed for storing liquids or solids, including powders and pellets.
  • Manufactured from 304 stainless steel, typically in 14- to 11-gauge thicknesses.
  • Primarily intended for passive storage, without specialized agitation or heating systems.
  • Equipped with a jet burner for efficient gas heating.
  • Feature propeller-type agitators for low-density products.
  • Ideal for processes requiring a reliable and rapid heat source.
  • Heated using immersed heating elements in a water bath or an electric heating jacket.
  • Provide precise temperature control with gentler heating than direct gas-fired systems.
  • Suitable for sensitive processes where temperature uniformity and thermal control are critical.
  • Use steam as the heating medium through a dimple jacket.
  • Feature anchor-type agitation systems, particularly suitable for medium- to high-viscosity products.
  • Commonly used in the food and cosmetics industries for processing thicker formulations.
  • Specifically designed for blending powders and granular materials.
  • Feature ribbon-type mixing systems with large discharge openings or tilting mechanisms for easier product discharge.
  • Ideal for dry solids, granular blends, dry food ingredients, and secondary mixing operations.
  • Feature simple impeller or propeller agitation systems without heating capabilities.
  • Suitable for low-density products and mixing, dissolving, or homogenizing applications that do not require temperature changes.
  • Commonly used in food and chemical processing where mixing is the primary requirement.
  • Equipped with three independent agitation systems operating at high, medium, and low speeds.
  • Designed for complex processes that require multiple mixing speeds and agitation methods.
  • Ideal for food and cosmetic manufacturing applications involving different formulations and variable processing conditions.
