Engineered Solutions for Food Storage Applications

In the food processing industry, storage is not just about fitting more product; it's about building a barrier that protects that product, its quality, and the brand's name from the moment it enters a facility. That’s why we build our tanks with FDA-approved coatings applied under controlled conditions to protect against corrosion and cross-contamination.

Unlike standard industrial storage, food tanks are engineered to a different standard. Their entire purpose is to be cleaned, inspected, and trusted. The main difference can be seen in the interior. Instead of rough seams, you need a smooth, continuous surface, which engineers call a "flush and polished" weld profile.

Every Tarsco design is built to meet both national standards and your local requirements. We provide a full range of custom diameters and capacities, from compact 4-foot welded food tanks to massive 45-foot bolted silos holding 150,000 cubic feet. Additionally, hopper configurations are customized based on your product's flow characteristics, with specialized accessories like bin activators for sugar or fluidization discs for flour. The result is a storage solution where reliability, sanitation, and long-term performance are engineered in from the first drawing.

Key Benefits of Our Food Processing Storage Systems

Our food grade storage tanks deliver the certified hygiene, long-term durability, and full compliance your operation demands.

FDA-Approved Baked-On Coatings

For coated carbon steel tanks, the protective lining isn't painted on; it's baked onto the substrate in our controlled factory. This process creates a uniform, durable barrier that meets FDA standards and stands up to repeated high-pressure washdowns.

Hygienic Stainless/Aluminum Fabrication

By fabricating all stainless steel and aluminum components on dedicated production lines, we prevent cross-contamination from other metals, ensuring the material purity required for sensitive food products.

Smooth Interior Finishes for Sanitary Flow

We offer specific weld profiles, from "flush" to "flush and polished," to create a continuous, easy-to-clean interior surface. This eliminates ledges and crevices where bacteria or product residue could accumulate.

Custom Sizes, Diameters, and Hopper Configurations

Your storage isn't generic, and neither are our solutions. We provide a full range, from 4-foot welded tanks to 45-foot silos, and engineer every hopper based on your specific product and discharge requirements.

Corrosion and Contamination Resistance

Every food grade storage tank is built to defend your product. This means chemically washed alloy interiors, sealed seams, and exterior treatments designed to withstand a harsh processing environment without compromising integrity.

Engineered Flow Performance (Mass/Funnel Flow)

We design for predictable, reliable discharge. Through product-specific flow testing, we engineer each system for either mass or funnel flow, preventing costly bridging, rat-holing, and production stoppages.
