Lee Tanks Data Sheet

While the style of tank you choose will have its own set of features, you also have the opportunity to choose from several other options.

Covers

Covers designed for atmospheric, pressure, or vacuum applications are available for all Lee tanks. Choose from:

• Bolt-on type
• Welded (to the cylinder)
• One-piece
• Sanitary Hinged
• Hinged cover with lift assist

Manways

Standard manholes are available for either head or cylinder mounting.

Cylinders

The diameter and depth of the tank cylinder can vary based on your size and process requirements.

Jackets

Three different heat transfer jacket options are available:

• Uniflow coil jacket
• Open/standard jacket
• Dimple jacket

Bottoms

We offer three styles of bottoms, each with its own advantage for various processing applications.

• Pitched offers excellent drainage for liquids and places the outlet on a horizontal axis.
• Dished offers center draining for more viscous products. Reverse dished bottoms are also available.
• Cone is ideal for viscous or semi-solid materials. The standard cone bottom angle is 120º, but can be varied to suit process or product requirements.

Outlets

All outlet connections are stainless steel, with one of the following options:

• Sanitary tri-clamp
• ASA flange
• Sanitary Acme thread
• I.P.S.

Lee manufactures flush ball valves, which are ideal tank outlets.

Electropolishing and Finishing

We recognize the demand for high-quality, durable, ultra-sanitary finishes. Lee provides world-class mechanical finishes and can also provide electropolish finishes on many of our parts and products.
