PRODUCT/PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND SPECIAL FEATURES:
The winery expansion required (3) jacketed insulated tanks with integral dimpled thermal cooling transfer panels on the primary tank shell.  This configuration with stainless steel insulation jacket makes steel the material of choice as it affords significant increase in durability and protection of the insulation over conventional PVC jackets.
Special shipping fixtures were required, but the 14 ga. insulation jacket is durable enough to survive the cross country shipment without damage.
