Horizontal Milk Storage Tank(2kl to 20kl)
A horizontal milk storage tank is a stainless steel vessel used for the hygienic storage of raw or processed milk. It is mounted horizontally on strong legs or a cradle base and is usually insulated to maintain the temperature of the milk. These tanks come in various capacities, typically ranging from 2000 liters to 20,000 liters or more, depending on the scale of operation.
Key Features:
Material: Made of food-grade stainless steel (typically SS 304 or SS 316) to prevent contamination and ensure easy cleaning.
Shape: Horizontal cylindrical design for stability and space efficiency.
Insulation: Equipped with polyurethane foam (PUF) or mineral wool insulation to preserve milk temperature.
Agitator: Often fitted with an internal agitator to keep the milk homogenous.
Cooling System (Optional): Some tanks include direct expansion or indirect cooling systems to maintain the ideal milk temperature (around 4°C).
Manhole & CIP System: Includes a manhole for access and a Clean-in-Place (CIP) system for automatedE internal cleaning.
Outlet Valve: Hygienic valve at the bottom for easy drainage.

We are dealing with a SS Square Hot and Cold storage tank ( 5ool to 20kl) refers to a stainless steel square-shaped tank designed for storing both hot and cold water. Here’s a breakdown of its description:
1. Material
Stainless Steel (SS): Typically SS304 or SS316 grade.
SS304: Suitable for general water storage.
SS316: More resistant to corrosion—ideal for hot water or harsh environments.
2. Shape and DesignSquare or Rectangular shape: Maximizes space utilization and is easier to install in compact areas.Often made of modular panels that are assembled on-site for larger capacities.
3. FunctionalityCold Water Storage:Insulated (optional) to maintain lower temperatures in hot climates.Common in residential, commercial, and industrial setups.
Hot Water Storage:Thermal insulation (PUF or glass wool) is standard to retain heat.Sometimes paired with solar water heaters, electric heaters, or boilers.
4. FeaturesCorrosion-resistant and durable.Hygienic: Smooth surface minimizes bacterial growth.

Leak-proof design.Can include inlet/outlet nozzles, overflow, drain valves, and level indicators.Capacity: Ranges from a few hundred liters to several thousand liters.
ApplicationsResidential buildingsHotels and hospitalsIndustrial processesCommercial establishments

We are dealing with a Dimpled jacketed cooling tanks ( capacity range 1kl to 20kl)
These are stainless steel cylindrical tanks equipped with dimple jacketed walls for uniform and efficient cooling. They are ideal for chilling milk, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and temperature-sensitive liquids.
Designed for hygienic processing with options for insulation and agitation.
The dimpled jacket tanks are stainless steel equipment used to store raw materials. The dimpled jacket which is laser welded ensures the maintenance of temperature, or the reheating, or the cooling of the products contained in the tank thanks to the circulation of the fluid in the double jacket.
These thermal fluids can be :
steam, hot water,thermal oil,water glycol,Freon,liquid nitrogen,CO2 … etc.How is the dimpled jacket made?The dimpled jacket also called “Pillow Plates” is obtained by welding two stainless steel plates one on the other. This is done through a spot laser welding machine
Thus, we obtain a dimpled jacket with spots (round about 14 mm diameter) distributed according to a defined model.
A weld is also made around the jacket to ensure its tightness to pressure.
Thanks to the technical resources of Labbe Process Equipment all types of finishing can be made (pickling, polishing, electro polishing).

The advantages of the dimped jacket tankThanks to a tailor-made dimensioning, the dimpled jacket tanks can be used with all types of refrigerants: glycol, ammonia, R404A, R134A, CO2 … etc.

They also have large storage capacities (130 tons) and withstand a high operating pressure in the dimpled jacket (30 bar liquids or steam).

The use of a dimpled jacket tank has many advantages including:
Lower cost of implementation,A small volume of the dimpled jacket,An excellent exchange coefficient,Fast realization thanks to laser welding technology,
A reduction of the deposits inside the tanks, thanks to the fast circulation of the fluid,An improvement of thermal exchanges.The different fiedls of activity of the dimpled jacket tankThe technical characteristics of this equipment take into account the nature of stored liquids, which is often in the food industry:
