Variable Capacity Tank 500L
Product Code: V0500
Product Description
The Variable Capacity Tank 500L (V0500) is a versatile storage solution for both small- and large-scale producers, offering maximum flexibility with its innovative variable capacity lid. This tank can hold up to 500L, but the adjustable floating lid enables users to safely store smaller volumes while minimising headspace and protecting the liquid integrity.
Crafted from durable 304-grade stainless steel, the V0500 features a striking engine-turned exterior finish that’s both robust and visually appealing. Its conical bottom design ensures complete drainage, making cleaning and maintenance effortless, while the included three-legged stand provides stability during operation.
The tank includes two taps: a drainage tap at the conical bottom for efficient emptying and a side-mounted sample valve for easy liquid sampling. The optional variable capacity floating lid enhances versatility by allowing precise lid positioning using an inflatable seal and hand pump, creating a safe, airtight environment for stored liquids.

Conical Bottom with Integrated Drainage Tap
This tank features a precisely crafted conical bottom, designed to channel liquids efficiently towards the integrated drainage tap. This ensures complete emptying of the tank, minimising product waste and simplifying cleaning processes. The design is particularly beneficial for industries handling viscous or sediment-heavy liquids.
Sample Tap for Quality Checks
Quality control is essential for any production process, and our plain tanks simplify this with a convenient side-mounted sample tap. This feature allows users to easily extract samples without disturbing the main contents, enabling quick and accurate assessments during storage or fermentation.
Variable Capacity Floating Lid
The variable capacity floating lid is a standout feature of our variable capacity tanks, offering unparalleled flexibility for liquid storage. Designed with a smaller diameter to fit seamlessly inside the tank, this lid includes an inflatable seal that allows precise height adjustments to match your liquid volume. By minimising headspace, the lid helps reduce evaporative losses, preserving the quality and quantity of your stored liquids. The lid is quick and easy to adjust using the included hand pump, ensuring a secure fit and airtight seal at any desired position. This feature makes the tank especially suitable for applications like spirit holding, where maintaining liquid integrity is critical.
Pressure Gauge
The included pressure gauge is specifically designed to monitor the air pressure within the inflatable tube of the variable capacity lid. This ensures that the seal is always at the correct pressure, maintaining an airtight fit and minimising the risk of evaporative losses. By providing precise air level readings, the gauge allows users to adjust the seal quickly and efficiently, ensuring optimal performance and protecting the integrity of stored liquids.
