HST-OL Sanitary Open Lid Storage Tank

HST-OL Open Lid Storage Tank Overview

The HST-OL Open Lid Storage Tank is a sanitary stainless steel tank used between mixing, transfer and filling processes. It helps factories store finished or semi-finished materials in a clean container before the next production step.

For cosmetic and personal care manufacturers, product storage is not only about holding material. The tank should be easy to clean, simple to move when needed, convenient to discharge and suitable for direct contact with cream, lotion or liquid formulas.

The HST-OL tank uses a practical open top structure. Operators can check the material level, add product manually and clean the inner surface more easily after production. The bottom ball valve helps discharge material smoothly into buckets, transfer pumps or filling systems.

This tank is commonly used after vacuum emulsifying mixers, homogenizer mixers, liquid washing mixers and other production equipment.

Core Machine Features

1. Sanitary Open Lid Structure

The open lid design allows operators to check the stored product directly and clean the tank more conveniently after each batch.

It is suitable for factories that need a simple and practical storage tank for cream, lotion, gel, liquid soap, detergent, shampoo, conditioner and other liquid or paste products.

2. SUS316L Product Contact Parts

All product contact parts can be made of SUS316L stainless steel to support sanitary production requirements.

This is important for cosmetic, skincare, personal care, food and pharmaceutical products where material contact safety and corrosion resistance are important.

3. Mirror Polished Surface

The tank can be made with internal and external sanitary mirror polishing. A smooth surface helps reduce product residue and makes daily cleaning easier.

For cream, lotion and other sticky materials, the polished tank wall helps improve cleanliness during production changeover.

4. Bottom Ball Valve Discharge

The HST-OL tank is equipped with a bottom discharge port and ball valve. This allows operators to release material from the lower part of the tank and reduce manual handling.

The discharge outlet can be matched with sanitary pipes, transfer pumps or filling machines according to the production layout.

5. Movable Or Fixed Design

Small and medium capacity tanks can be equipped with handles, four legs and wheels. Some wheels can include brakes for safer positioning during workshop use.

For larger capacity tanks, a fixed structure without wheels can be selected to improve stability during storage and discharge.

6. Flexible Capacity From 5L To 5000L

The HST-OL series can be customized from 5L to 5000L, covering laboratory testing, pilot production and full-scale manufacturing.

Capacity can be selected according to batch size, filling volume, daily output and available factory space.
