Food Processing Storage Tank Solutions

Greatario’s glass-fused-to-steel storage tanks are ideally suited for food and beverage processing applications where cleanliness, durability, and material integrity are critical.

The impermeable glass coating:

  • Will not contaminate stored liquids
  • Is easily cleaned when required
  • Resists corrosion from a wide range of liquids and waste streams

This makes glass-fused-to-steel an excellent choice for both product-contact and non-product-contact liquid storage, including process water, wash water, wastewater, and by-products.

Liquid food applications can be particularly challenging due to varying viscosities, organic content, temperatures, and cleaning requirements. Whether storing raw ingredients, intermediate process fluids, or finished products, Greatario works with you to match the right tank technology and cover system to your application.

Integrated Tank Components & Accessories

Food and beverage processing facilities often require fully integrated storage systems. Greatario designs complete solutions that can include:

  1. Foundations
  2. Insulation and cladding
  3. Level controls and sensors
  4. Heaters and mixers
  5. Special penetrations and nozzles
  6. Manways and viewing ports
  7. Level indicators and temperature probes

These components are engineered directly into the tank design to ensure operational efficiency, safety, and ease of maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Food & Beverage Processing Liquid Storage

What types of tanks are used in food and beverage processing?

Food and beverage processing facilities use tanks for raw materials, finished products, potable water, process fluids, wastewater, and fire protection. Glass-fused-to-steel, epoxy-coated, and stainless steel tanks are commonly used depending on the application.

Are glass-fused-to-steel tanks suitable for food processing?

Yes. Glass-fused-to-steel tanks provide an impermeable, non-reactive surface that resists corrosion and can be cleaned effectively, making them well-suited for many food and beverage processing applications.

Can Greatario tanks be used for wastewater and food waste?

Absolutely. Greatario supplies tanks for wastewater holding, sludge processing, and food waste digestion, including bioenergy and digester tank applications.

How are tanks customized for food processing facilities?

Tanks are engineered to include application-specific components such as heaters, mixers, sensors, penetrations, and access points—ensuring the system aligns with process, cleaning, and operational needs.

Do food processing tanks require different roof systems?

Yes. Roof and cover selection depends on factors such as stored liquid, vapour control, environmental exposure, and access requirements. Greatario offers multiple cover systems tailored to food and beverage applications.
