Roben Mfg, Inc. fabricates dual-purpose pressure and storage vessels for intermediate storage applications. Our vessels provide flexible capacity between process steps, enabling independent operation of upstream and downstream equipment while maintaining product quality throughout hold periods.
Dual-Purpose Vessels for Intermediate Storage
Intermediate storage enables process flexibility and efficiency by decoupling sequential operations. Our dual-purpose pressure and storage vessels provide the capacity, environmental control, and processing capability needed for holding work-in-process materials.
These vessels maintain product quality during storage while remaining available for conditioning or processing operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do dual-purpose vessels improve process scheduling?
By providing buffer capacity between process steps, dual-purpose vessels allow upstream and downstream operations to run independently. This decoupling improves scheduling flexibility, enables maintenance windows, and reduces the impact of process upsets.
2. Can intermediate materials be processed during storage?
Yes, our dual-purpose vessels include processing features appropriate for your application. Temperature conditioning, mixing, and other operations can be performed during hold periods to prepare materials for downstream processing.
3. What quality preservation features do you provide?
Our vessels incorporate temperature control, inert blanketing, gentle agitation, and other features to maintain product quality during intermediate storage. Design addresses the specific stability requirements of your process materials.
