Stainless Steel Fermentation Tanks

Stainless steel fermentation tanks serve as core equipment in industrial settings specifically designed for conducting microbial fermentation processes. Leveraging the superior properties of stainless steel and scientific structural design, they have become essential vessels in microbial fermentation production.

Core Structure and Features

  • The main body of the tank is typically precision-rolled and welded from SUS304 and SUS316L stainless steel, employing a combination of a cylindrical body and dished or elliptical heads. This structure not only provides strong pressure resistance but also effectively eliminates sanitary dead zones.
  • All internal surfaces in contact with materials undergo high-standard mechanical or electrolytic polishing to achieve a mirror finish, ensuring minimal material buildup and easy cleaning and sterilization, thus physically eliminating the risk of contamination.

Core Functionality and Working

  • The fermenter achieves uniform mixing of materials, heat transfer, and thorough contact between gas, liquid, and solid phases through its core agitation system (typically comprising a top-mounted motor, agitation shaft, and meticulously designed paddles).
  • During rotation, the agitation paddles not only break up foam but also significantly enhance oxygen dissolution rates, providing ample oxygen for vigorous growth of aerobic microorganisms.
  • The vessel design supports in-place high-temperature sterilization (SIP), enabling direct injection of saturated steam or jacket heating to achieve a sterile internal environment, establishing a robust barrier for pure culture fermentation.
