Stainless Steel IBC Totes & Tanks

A stainless steel IBC tank has several advantages, such as tough durability and corrosion resistance. Stainless steel contains chromium, which makes it virtually resistant to corrosive behaviors such as rusting, tarnishing, and turning green when the metal is maintained. Stainless steel is also recognized as waterproof.

Stainless steel totes which are properly cleaned and sanitized can be reused repeatedly. When they reach the end of their product life, the metal can be reused. Due to the metal’s durability and resistance to environmental factors like water and oxygen, a stainless steel ibc has a longer life span compared to other materials. This makes it more cost-efficient in the long run.

Compared to plastic totes, stainless steel totes are the better choice for liquids that require storage in extreme temperatures (hot or cold). These metal totes are also better suited for harsh chemicals and flammable liquids.

Our stainless steel IBC selection boasts metal totes in sizes ranging from 59 to 793 gallons. The Cary Company offers metal totes with 59, 119, 178, 180, 237, 250, 297, 300, 350, 450, 550, 555, 574, and 793 gallon capacities.

The term “food grade” is not commonly used when it comes to stainless steel IBC tanks as it is up to the end user to determine how “sanitary” they want the tank. This decision depends on their intended application and duration of storage or transport. Additionally, cleanliness must be maintained to uphold a tank’s sanitary condition for food use.

• Sanitary Tanks are designed for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. They make it easy to maintain cleanliness because their interior welds are ground flush and smooth. The smooth welds prevent bacteria from growing in the crevasses. 
• Pressurized Tanks meet EU standards for food use due to their aseptic design which prevents bacterial growth. Their smoothly-ground welds, finish and discharge make these tanks 100% EU food-grade certified, exceeding sanitary conditions. They are popular for fruit preparation, dairy processing, winemaking, beer brewing, as well as the production of seltzers, ciders, pharmaceuticals, and more.
• Fermentation Tanks are designed for winemaking and distilling, great for small batching, storage, and transferring products. The tank’s welding will determine what alcoholic beverages it is suitable for. A standard fermentation tank has a smooth weld, suitable for most wines and spirits since the smooth weld limits bacterial growth. If the tank’s interior welds aren’t smoothed, it is only suitable for spirits with alcohol content high enough to kill bacteria.
• Our selection of Transport Tanks are great for chemicals, industrial fluids, waste management, and more. They are often UN Rated for hazardous substances, but are not suitable for food use. Transport tanks' interior welds are not ground smooth, instead left as manufactured. Per user discretion, these tanks can be used for spirits with alcohol content high enough to kill bacteria.
