Technical Specifications and Performance Data This 20,000 L aseptic tank is designed for hygienic storage and buffering in beverage manufacturing and industrial packaging environments. It combines a newly manufactured pressure vessel with a proven aseptic system heritage, making it a solid solution for pre-owned installations and retrofits of existing bottling lines. Nominal Capacity: 20,000 L Design Pressure: 0.09 to −0.1 MPa (positive pressure and full vacuum range) Test Pressure: 0.12 MPa Design Temperature: 148°C Main Body Material: S31603 Stainless Steel (Food Grade Corrosion Resistance) Year of Manufacture (Tank Body): 2025 Year of Manufacture: 2011 by Tetra Pak Engineering Standard: GB/T 150-2024 (Pressure Vessels) System Heritage: Tetra Pak Aseptic Module Line for Beverage Applications Advanced Automation and Control Systems The tank is prepared for seamless integration into automated process control architectures typical of modern beverage production lines. Instrumentation ports and valve interfaces support level, pressure, and temperature monitoring, as well as aseptic steam-in-place (SIP) and clean-in-place (CIP) routines. The system documentation set includes activation and sequence diagrams and a communication description for S7-based control, supporting PLC/HMI connectivity, interlocks, and recipe-driven operation. PLC-ready signals for level, pressure/vacuum, and temperature. Interfaces for aseptic valve clusters and CIP/SIP circuits. Safety interlocks for pressure and vacuum protection. Commissioning and parameterization documentation. Production line integration capability. Designed to function as an aseptic buffer or storage tank between thermal processing (e.g., UHT) and downstream filling. It can operate standalone or inline within a complete packaging line and is suitable for beverage production environments working with PET, glass, or carton filling. Format changes are minimal as storage capacity and process parameters are controlled by the recipe. In-line integration with UHT, aseptic valve manifolds, and fillers. Stand-alone operation for batch buffering and sterile sealing. Compatible with CIP/SIP system utilities and sanitary piping. Ideal for modernizing a used or pre-owned bottling line. Machine condition and maintenance history. The pressure vessel (tank body) was newly manufactured in 2025, paired with system documentation and aseptic process line from a 2011 Tetra Pak aseptic system. The unit is offered as pre-owned equipment and is ready for use upon proper installation and commissioning. The availability of technical manuals supports maintenance planning, preventative routines, and efficient start-up. Body is new (2025) with documented pressure testing and design ratings Supplied with technical manuals, preventative maintenance references, and flow/layout documents Prepared for rapid recommissioning in industrial packaging plants Operational Performance and Versatility Designed for hygienic and aseptic conditions, the vessel offers stable pressure/vacuum capability for sterile storage. S31603 stainless steel construction supports high-temperature sterilization up to 148°C, ensuring durability and product safety. The configuration is suitable for beverage production, where aseptic integrity, gentle product handling, and sanitary design are critical. Aseptic and buffer storage capabilities High-temperature SIP compatibility Hygienic design for minimal product retention and easy cleanup Suitable for a wide range of beverage processes Installation Requirements and Site Preparation Installation requires adequate floor space for the vessel footprint, height for nozzles and service access, and structural anchor points. Utilities typically include steam for SIP, hot/cold water for CIP, compressed air for valve operation, and electrical connections for instruments and control signals. Site preparation should include hygienic piping, floors from slope to drain, and access for inspection and maintenance. Steam supply for sterilization CIP connections and return lines Compressed air for instrumentation and valves Instrument wiring to PLC/HMI Safety standards and compliance certification The vessel meets GB/T 150-2024 pressure vessel requirements with documented limits for design pressure, vacuum rating, test pressure, and temperature. Food-grade stainless steel and hygienic fabrication support compliance with health standards common to beverage manufacturing. Nameplate data and documentation provide traceability for audits and regulatory verifications. Complies with GB/T 150-2024 standard for pressure vessels Positive pressure and vacuum rated for aseptic service Documented pressure test and temperature design values ​​Food grade S31603 stainless steel construction for hygiene
