Contact an ExpertBuilt for Hygienic Performance
With decades of stainless-steel vessel expertise, disciplined manufacturing, and best‑in‑class in‑house finishing, Apache produces hygienic tanks engineered for cleanability, corrosion resistance, and long service life. Advanced mechanical and robotic polishing, passivation, and electropolishing ensure smooth, compliant surfaces that support regulatory requirements, reduce bacterial adhesion, and perform reliably across food and beverage applications.
Industry Equipment Experience
Apache designs and fabricates a wide range of specialized vessels for food and beverage applications, including:
- Cook tanks
- Mixing and blending tanks
- Storage tanks
- ASME pressure vessels
- Dryers
- Evaporators
Applications
Apache has extensive experience supports both batch and continuous processing environments. Through collaboration, our tanks can be engineered for sanitary performance, product integrity, and repeatable cleanability across diverse ingredients and processing conditions, including:
- Frying oils and edible oils – heated storage, filtration, and transfer vessels
- Brines and curing solutions – corrosion‑resistant tanks for salt‑rich formulations
- Broths, stocks – sanitary cook, mix, and holding tanks
- Creams, sauces, and dairy‑based liquids – hygienic vessels for temperature‑sensitive, viscous products
- Spirits and beverage bases – tanks for blending, proofing, storage
- Liquid add‑ins and flavorings – precision vessels for minor ingredients, concentrates, sweeteners, and functional additives
Sanitary Construction Performance
Each vessel is engineered with sanitation, cleanability, and operational performance in mind. Weld procedures, fabrication practices, and material selections are carefully controlled to support hygienic design principles and repeatable results in demanding production environments.
As an original equipment manufacturer serving pharmaceutical, health, and food processing markets, Apache applies the same rigorous daily protocols across all projects. Welding, fabrication, inspection, and surface finishing processes are centered on hygienic requirements, code compliance, and traceability—ensuring equipment that meets both regulatory expectations and real‑world production demands.
