Description
Available for sale is a used Mueller 8,300-gallon 304 stainless steel fermentation tank, Serial Number 294433-1, built in 2010.
The vessel features a dome top and cone bottom and measures approximately 117" internal diameter x 143" straight side x 267" overall height. The internal vessel is rated for 14.9 PSI at 100°F.
Temperature control is provided by a three-zone cooling jacket system consisting of two sidewall cooling zones and one cone-bottom cooling zone. The cooling jackets are rated for 100 PSI at 100°F, allowing cooling media to be circulated around multiple sections of the vessel for controlled process-temperature management.
The cone bottom incorporates a 16" manway for vessel access and a 3" center-bottom outlet for product discharge. The vessel is supported on four legs.
With an overall height of approximately 267" (22'3") and diameter of approximately 117" (9'9"), this is a substantial process vessel requiring appropriate facility clearance, foundation, rigging, and transportation planning.
This Mueller vessel may be suitable for brewing, beverage fermentation, cider, wine, food processing, product conditioning, and other temperature-controlled liquid-processing applications.
