  • Includes heavier duty stainless steel tank and aluminium lid.
  • Stainless Steel lid - supplied with a threaded port for customer to connect vacuum supply.
  • Aliminium lid - supplied with a Geka fitting to connect vacuum supply.
    • Integral thermocouple Point option
  • K Type thermocouple mounted through the base of the tank for accurate material temperature monitoring.
    • Level sensing option
  • Lid Mounted microwave level sensing unit.
  • Includes integral output display (showing level in centimetres)
  • Provides 4-20 mA output for integration into Ciject injection machine PLC for intelligent level monitoring.
    • Air inlet with desiccant Filter option
  • Filtered inlet to prevent moisture entering the tank.
    • Tank mounted pressure sensor (0-1.2 Bar absolute)
  • Pressure sensor to provide monitoring on tank vacuum level. To be integrated into Ciject PLC control system.
    • Manual material sampling point
  • Manual ball valve operated outlet to allow material to be dispensed while the Ciject machine is in recirculation mode.
  • Includes container platform to support 5 litre sample container.
    • Tank Heating option (water)
  • Integral fabricated stainless steel water jacket to enable accurate tank heating (requires suitable water heating unit)
  • Includes insulation jacket to minimise heat loss.
    • Tank Heating option (electrical)
  • Wrap-around electrical heating jacket.
  • Includes integral insulation to minimise heat loss.
  • Includes thermostatic controller.
  • Note: Electrical heating is suitable for general background heating up to approximately 50°C as it is limited in power. Heat up rates and temperature depends on material type and quantity. For higher spec heating requirements Water Jacketed option is required.
    Please call our technical team to discuss heating options.
