Mueller – Your Custom Tank Shop Custom is the standard at Mueller®. In addition to our many standard tanks, we manufacture a vast array of custom tanks made to your specifications. Your tank, your way — that’s the way we do business. We are a custom fabrication facility and are ASME, CSA, and UL certified. Products often dictate tank design and configuration. Product viscosity, type of agitation, heat transfer requirements, material finishes, and types of fittings usually decide the final arrangement of the tank. Mueller custom fabricated tanks offer materials of construction from 300...

Mueller Silo Storage Tanks Model “SV” Silos Mueller Model “SV” silos provide the ultimate in product protection during storage. The vertical design of the silo allows maximum product storage in a minimum of space. Mueller is the only silo manufacturer to go to the time and expense to offer a studwelded, circumferentially banded bottom construction which guarantees against fatigue, and are willing to back it up with an extended warranty. Mueller is also proud to offer the first patented, fully CIP-able horizontal agitator that meets the requirements of 3A Sanitary Standard 22 and the USDA...

Horizontal Agitation Mueller’s patented, USDA-accepted, horizontal agitator is cleaned in place and complies with 3A Sanitary Standard 22 when installed in our silo-type storage tanks for milk and milk products. The agitator and seal assembly do not require removal from the tank for cleaning as is required for other horizontal agitators currently available. The newly designed agitator is satisfactory for use in plants that are accepted for the USDA Dairy Grading Branch Survey Program. This design is also capable of fully separating all sealed surfaces for periodic inspection without the...

Mueller Temp-Plate heat transfer surface maximizes heat transfer efficiency, heating, or cooling in the Mueller Cook ’N Cool unit. It can be used for cooking with steam and cooling with water in the same unit or cooling only with glycol, ammonia, or Freon®. Double-action agitation scrapes the heat transfer surface to prevent burn-on and a highspeed, counter-rotating turbine provides shear action for blending. Standard Features • Double-action agitation assembly includes both scraping and turbine-type agitators. • Temp-Plate heat transfer surface on bottom head for heating or cooling. •...

Since the beginning of cheesemaking, the remaining by-product (whey) has been of little value to cheesemakers. With Mueller whey crystallizer tanks, whey can be transformed into useful products and profits. Whey crystallizers are designed to offer the maximum efficiency in cooling and continuous agitation — the...
