Water Tanks for Food Production

Water tanks for food production store the water that goes into, and around, everything you make. In food and drink manufacturing, water must be clean, reliable, and held to the right standard. Franklin Hodge builds site-assembled tanks for process and potable water, designed for the purity, capacity, and compliance that food and beverage sites depend on.

Why Water Quality Matters in Food Production

In food production, stored water is rarely just a utility. It washes ingredients, feeds recipes, cleans lines, and cools processes. If the storage is wrong, contamination or supply gaps put both product and reputation at risk. That is why the tank matters as much as the water inside it is. The right design keeps water hygienic, protects it from corrosion, and holds enough volume to keep production running without interruption.

Process and Potable Water Storage for Food and Beverage Sites

Most sites need two kinds of water. Process water supports manufacturing, and our tanks store it for beverage, brewing, food, and general industrial processes. Potable water is held to the standards required for safe human use. Our WRAS-approved Liquistore® tank, lined with PVC, is built specifically for potable water storage, so water destined for drinking or direct food contact is kept to the correct standard. If your priority is the manufacturing supply, our process water storage is designed around the demands of industrial production.

Choosing Tanks Built for Food Production

Food and beverage sites vary, so the tank should fit both the space and the job. Cylindrical Liquistore® and Firestore® tanks suit open ground and larger volumes. Rectangular Liquitainer® and Firetainer® tanks fit tight or awkward footprints such as plant rooms and basements. For clean supply across a facility, our drinking water tanks assemble quickly on-site, and every tank can be specified with custom inlets, outlets, and filtration to match your process.

Keeping Stored Water Clean and Compliant

Water quality is not one off. Stored water needs protection from corrosion and contamination across the tank’s whole life, and food sites carry health and safety obligations on top. Internal liners guard the water from the tank shell, while regular inspection catches problems early. Our tank surveys use internal and external examination, including remotely operated vehicles and drone inspection, to check condition without taking a tank out of service for longer than needed.

Sizing Water Tanks for Food Production Demand

Get the size wrong, and you either run short at peak or pay for capacity you never use. Sizing depends on your throughput, your process, and how quickly the tank refills. You can estimate the volume you need with our tank capacity calculator, then our engineers model the layout to optimise footprint, pipework, and maintenance access. The result is a tank matched to real demand, not a rough guess.

Speak to Us About Food Production Water Storage

Every food and beverage site has its own water quality, volume, and compliance needs. Tell us about yours and our team will specify a tank built around them. Contact us and a member of the team will be in touch to talk through the options.
