Rastersäiliöillä

Rastersäiliöillä, also known as raster tanks or mesh tanks, are specialized storage vessels designed for the containment and handling of liquids, particularly those with abrasive or corrosive properties, or when precise flow control is required. Their construction typically involves a perforated or mesh inner wall, often made of stainless steel or other resistant alloys, surrounded by an outer shell. This design allows for a controlled outflow of the contained liquid, often acting as a form of self-regulating dispensing system.

The principle behind rastersäiliöillä relies on the principle of surface tension and capillary action, where the liquid is held within the mesh structure. As the liquid level within the tank changes, the pressure exerted on the mesh influences the rate of outflow. This can be utilized in various industrial processes, such as the controlled release of chemicals, lubricants, or other fluids where a constant or predictable flow is essential. They are often employed in applications where conventional pumps or valves might be prone to wear or clogging due to the nature of the fluid being handled. The maintenance of these tanks is generally straightforward, focusing on cleaning the mesh to ensure continued optimal performance. Their unique design makes them a niche but valuable solution in specific industrial settings.
