HedgeBird Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I am in need of a larger blending tank and am about to pull the trigger on this Closed Top—Conical Bottom tank from St. Pats for $4,350. Before I purchase I though I would see if anyone can point me to any better/cheaper options. This tank is larger than I actually need but fits the bill in every other respect. What I must have: 400+ gallon capacity Sloped bottom drain Cooling Jacket for glycol/chill filtering Extra tri-clamp port (side or top) for mounting mixer What is nice about this tank: Man way Sample Port Termo-Probe Level Gauge click for Drawing Capacity Price Orientation Total Area (square meters) Bottom Valve Racking Valve with Reinforcing Ring Manway Vent Ladder support Sample Tap Thermometer in Thermowell Thermowell for sensor Level gauge Top Hatch Wall thickness Bottom thickness Z2000-C 2000 Liters 530 gallons $4350 in stock in San Antonio Vertical 2 2" Butterfly 2" Butterfly Oval 14"x18" 211 Yes yes yes yes yes 8" (200 mm) 1.5 mm 2 mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distiller76 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I needed a tank just like that, But got to looking around and found a used Milk mixing tank for less that half of that price. It came with a single phase, 220v lightning mixer, jacketed cooling and it's own chiller. I see your right in the heart of dairy country. You might want to look around. I'm sure you could find the same thing pretty close, And save even more money if you pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
