2000L Horizontal Insulated Stainless Steel Buffer Tank
2000L Horizontal Insulated Stainless Steel Buffer Tank
A 2000L horizontal insulated stainless steel buffer tank for chilled or tempered water where headroom is limited. The tank sits on dual saddle supports to keep overall height low. PU or rock wool insulation with a stainless jacket improves temperature stability and allows exterior washing. Built in 304 or 316L with sanitary TIG welding, the tank is CIP ready and supplied with leak or hydrostatic test documents.

Where it fits
This 2000L insulated buffer tank serves beverage, HVAC utilities, and water treatment lines that need steady temperature and low overall height under pipe racks or mezzanines.
Design and construction
• Orientation: horizontal on dual saddle supports with anchor plates
• Material: 304 or 316L stainless steel (project specific thickness)
• Insulation: PU or rock wool with stainless steel outer jacket; seams designed for easy cleaning
• Interior finish: brushed as standard; mirror or electropolish available for lower Ra targets
• Connections: tri-clamp sanitary as standard, ANSI/DIN flanges available for inlet/outlet
• Manway: side quick-open type with EPDM or silicone gasket
• Drainage: outlet at the true low point with internal slope to reduce hold-up
What you receive
• Factory leak or hydrostatic test report (per design)
• Material certificates (e.g., EN 10204 3.1) and passivation record
• Basic GA with nozzle schedule; weld map and surface report available on request
Options that add value
• Thermometer and level gauge or transmitter
• Spray ball (fixed or rotating) for CIP coverage
• Sight glass, sampling valve, sterile vent port for high-purity service
• Additional nozzles for future expansion
Use notes and limitations
• Standard build is atmospheric and vented. For pressure service, specify design pressure and applicable code at RFQ stage.
• Insulation thickness and type affect thermal performance; final selection is confirmed on the approved drawing.
• Horizontal layout requires longer floor length than vertical tanks—verify footprint early.
| Parameter | Typical Specification (2000L Horizontal Insulated) |
|---|---|
| Capacity | 2000 L (atmospheric, vented) |
| Orientation | Horizontal on dual saddle supports with anchor plates |
| Material | 304 or 316L stainless steel |
| Thickness (reference) | Shell/head 2.5 to 3.0 mm (project specific) |
| Insulation | PU or rock wool with stainless steel outer jacket (thickness per project) |
| Interior finish | Brushed (typ. Ra 0.8 to 1.6 um); mirror or electropolish optional |
| Connections | ANSI/DIN flanges for inlet/outlet; tri-clamp for CIP, vent and instruments |
| Nozzles (typ.) | Inlet DN40–DN50; Outlet DN50–DN65 at lowest point; Drain DN32–DN40; Vent DN25; CIP DN25; Instrument DN20 |
| Manway | Side quick-open, 300 to 400 mm |
| Reference dimensions | Dia. 1200 to 1500 mm; shell length 1800 to 2400 mm; overall height kept low |
| Documents | Leak/hydrostatic test report, material certificates, passivation record; optional weld map and surface report |
• Beverage plants: chilled water or process water buffer with stable temperature
• HVAC utilities: insulated buffer for chilled or tempered loops in compact rooms
• Water treatment skids: RO/DI buffer under low pipe racks
• Food, dairy and cosmetics lines that need easy exterior washing of the jacket
• Retrofit projects with strict height limits and limited lifting access
