BEVERAGE TANK & VESSEL STYLES

EIC Tanks manufactures custom beverage process vessels designed for efficient workflows and sanitary operation.

Beverage Mixing Tanks

Sanitary beverage mixing tanks designed for blending, dissolution, heating, cooling, and batch processing of liquid beverage products and syrups.

Jacketed Beverage Kettles

Jacketed beverage kettles engineered for controlled heating and cooling, ideal for sugar dissolution, flavor blending, and temperature-sensitive beverage formulations.

Beverage Storage & Holding Tanks

Sanitary storage tanks for raw ingredients, intermediates, and finished beverages, designed for hygienic holding, temperature stability, and CIP compatibility.

Beverage Transfer & Intermediate Tanks

Process transfer tanks engineered for safe, efficient movement of beverage products between mixing, filtration, carbonation, and packaging operations.

BEVERAGE AGITATION METHODS

Low-Shear Beverage Mixing Systems

• Propeller and turbine agitators

• Designed to preserve product integrity

• Variable speed drives for process control

MULTI-AGITATOR & SPECIALIZED BEVERAGE SYSTEMS

• Combination agitators for syrup and concentrate preparation

• Optional high-shear mixers for powder incorporation

• Configurable top-entry or bottom-entry designs

AGITATION DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

Agitation systems are engineered to balance mixing efficiency, sanitation, and operational flexibility.

Mixing Performance

 • Uniform ingredient distribution

 • Reduced blend times

 • Consistent product quality

Sanitary & Mechanical Design

 • Hygienic shaft and seal arrangements

 • CIP-ready construction

 • Smooth internal finishes

Operational Flexibility

 • Independent speed control

 • Scalable designs from pilot to production

 • Compatibility with heating and cooling processes

MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION

Beverage mixing tanks and kettles are fabricated from 304 or 316L stainless steel, selected based on product acidity, cleaning chemistry, and sanitation requirements.

Material traceability and surface finish documentation are available to support food-grade standards.

Heating, Cooling & Thermal Control

Beverage vessels may be equipped with dimple jackets or channel wall jackets for precise temperature control using:

• Hot water

• Steam

• Chilled water

• Glycol

Temperature control systems regulate jacket flow to maintain stable, repeatable processing conditions. PLC-based controls and recipe management can be integrated as required.

Open, Sealed & Pressure-Rated Beverage Vessels

Beverage tanks may be designed as open-top, sealed, or pressure-rated systems. Designs can accommodate carbonation, inert gas blanketing, and pressure or vacuum operation, depending on process requirements.

DISCHARGE & PRODUCT HANDLING OPTIONS

Beverage vessels can be configured with flush bottom outlets, sanitary valves, side discharges, or pump-out connections, optimized for viscosity, cleaning efficiency, and downstream packaging equipment.

Controls, Automation & Documentation

EIC Tanks designs and supplies custom control panels and touchscreen HMI systems to monitor and control:

 • Temperature

 • Agitation speed

 • Batch timing

 • Process sequencing

Documentation packages may include:

 • Material certifications

 • Weld and finish records

 • Pressure or leak testing reports

 • As-built drawings
