Tarsco offers both bolted and welded tanks for the storage of processed food products. Relative to carbon steel construction, specialized FDA approved coatings are applied in a controlled environment and “baked-on” to the substrate surface. Tarsco processes stainless steel and aluminum fabrication on a separate alloy line to prevent contamination of dissimilar metals. Typical food grade weld profiles are available as “smooth not flush”, “flush” and “flush and polished” to meet your requirements. All alloy construction is chemically washed internally for stored product protection and externally as well for aesthetic appearance prior to shipment.
Larger volume applications routinely specify smoothwall bolted silos. Designed and customized per your requirements, Tarsco designs are certified to nationally recognized codes and local codes as required.
