Used DCI 15,000 Gallon 316L Stainless Steel Jacketed Sanitary Mix Tank / Fermenter / Reactor with 100 HP Agitator

Used Equipment Facts About This Machine
Manufacturer
DCI, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of ASME pressure vessels and sanitary stainless steel processing equipment for the food, beverage, dairy, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and specialty chemical industries. DCI tanks are recognized for their high-quality 316L stainless steel construction, sanitary finishes, and dependable performance in demanding process applications.

Description
The Used DCI Jacketed 316L Stainless Steel Sanitary Mix Tank / Fermenter / Reactor offers 15,000 gallons of working capacity and is designed for demanding sanitary mixing, fermentation, reaction, blending, and processing applications. Previously operated in a sanitary food and nutritional ingredients processing plant, this vessel is well suited for food-grade, pharmaceutical, biotech, and specialty chemical production.
Constructed from 316L stainless steel, the tank features an ASME-rated pressure vessel designed for 35 PSI internal pressure and full vacuum at 358°F, while the external jacket is rated for 135 PSI/full vacuum at 358°F, allowing for efficient heating and cooling with steam, hot water, or glycol systems.
The vessel measures approximately 11 feet in internal diameter by 20 feet 9 inches tangent-to-tangent, with an overall height of approximately 31 feet 3 inches. Mixing is provided by a top-mounted 100 HP agitator operating from approximately 15 to 142 RPM when paired with a variable frequency drive (VFD), providing excellent flexibility for low- and high-shear mixing applications.
This heavy-duty sanitary processing vessel is ideal for manufacturers requiring large-capacity mixing, fermentation, reaction, or ingredient preparation under pressure or vacuum conditions.
