We have recorded 13 auction sales with a price of 21 models by 19 makes in this category, and 24 lots are at auction now. Pick a make, or a model below.
This category covers process plant used to store, mix, heat, separate or move liquids, powders and gases in chemical, pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic production. It includes stationary and mobile tanks and bunded containers, such as the Tank-Union DTK series and Emiliana Serbatoi EU-TANK and Carrytank ranges, alongside reactors, mixers, centrifuges, filters and heat exchangers from makers like Alfa Laval. Buyers include manufacturers needing bulk storage or dosing capacity, contractors handling IBC-style tanks on site, and labs or small producers using compact mixing or filtration units. On a used machine, buyers check the age and prior duty, the condition of seals, gaskets and linings, corrosion or wear on internal surfaces, the state of valves, pumps and agitators, and whether certification for pressure or hygiene standards is current.
