Technical Specifications & Performance Data This 20,000 L aseptic tank
is engineered for hygienic storage and buffering in beverage
production and industrial packaging environments. It combines a newly
manufactured pressure vessel with proven aseptic system heritage,
making it a strong solution for second hand installations and used
bottling line upgrades. Nominal capacity: 20000 L Design pressure:
0.09 to â0.1 MPa (positive pressure and full vacuum range)
Pressure test pressure: 0.12 MPa Design temperature: 148 °C Main
body material: S31603 stainless steel (food-grade corrosion
resistance) Manufacturing year (tank body): 2025 Tank year: 2011 from
Tetra Pak Engineering standard: GB/T 150-2024 (pressure vessels)
System heritage: Tetra Pak aseptic module lineage for beverage
applications Advanced Automation & Control Systems The tank is
prepared for seamless integration into automated process control
architectures typical of modern beverage production lines.
Instrumentation ports and valve interfaces support level, pressure,
and temperature monitoring, as well as aseptic steam-in-place (SIP)
and clean-in-place (CIP) routines. The system documentation set
includes activation and sequence diagrams and a communication
description for S7-based control, supporting PLC/HMI connectivity,
interlocks, and recipe-driven operation. PLC-ready signals for level,
pressure/vacuum, and temperature Interfaces for aseptic valve clusters
and CIP/SIP circuits Safety interlocks for pressure and vacuum
protection Documentation for commissioning and parameterization
Production Line Integration Capabilities Designed to function as an
aseptic buffer or storage tank between thermal processing (e.g., UHT)
and downstream filling. It can operate standalone or inline within a
complete packaging line and is suitable for beverage production
environments handling PET, glass, or carton filling operations. Format
changes are minimal since storage capacity and process parameters are
recipe-controlled. Inline integration with UHT, aseptic valve
manifolds, and fillers Standalone operation for batch buffering and
sterile hold Compatible with CIP/SIP plant utilities and sanitary
piping Ideal for modernization of a second hand or used bottling line
Machine Condition & Maintenance History The pressure vessel (tank
body) is newly manufactured in 2025, paired with system documentation
and aseptic process lineage originating from a 2011 Tetra Pak aseptic
system. The unit is offered as second hand equipment and is ready for
operation upon proper installation and commissioning. Availability of
technical manuals supports maintenance planning, preventive routines,
and efficient start-up. Body is new (2025) with documented pressure
test and design ratings Provided with technical manuals, preventive
maintenance references, and flow/layout documents Prepared for swift
recommissioning in industrial packaging facilities Operational
Performance & Versatility Engineered for hygienic and aseptic
conditions, the tank provides stable pressure/vacuum capability for
sterile storage. The S31603 stainless steel construction supports
high-temperature sterilization up to 148 °C, ensuring durability
and product safety. The configuration suits beverage production where
aseptic integrity, gentle product handling, and sanitary design are
U6354234 critical. Aseptic storage and buffer functionality
High-temperature SIP compatibility Hygienic design for minimal product
retention and easy cleaning Suitable for a wide range of beverage
processes Installation Requirements & Site Preparation Installation
requires adequate floor space for the vessel footprint, headroom for
nozzles and service access, and structural anchoring points. Utilities
typically include steam for SIP, hot/cold water for CIP, compressed
air for valve actuation, and electrical connections for instruments
and control signals. Site preparation should include hygienic piping,
slope-to-drain floors, and access for inspection and maintenance.
