Stainless steel tanks for the dairy industry
Milk is both a valuable and sensitive raw material. From raw storage to fermentation and processing, every step in the dairy industry requires absolute hygiene and technical precision. Whether producing milk, yoghurt, cream, cheese, or whey, your process depends on dairy tanks that guarantee product safety, reliability, and efficiency.
At Gpi Schwarte, we specialise in designing and manufacturing stainless steel dairy tanks that meet the strictest hygienic standards of the dairy sector. Backed by decades of experience, we combine Schwarte’s reputation with the Gpi Formula of structured, digital project execution to deliver tanks that exceed expectations.

Expertise in the design of hygienic dairy tanks
Our tanks are engineered to ensure efficient and safe dairy processes. Every detail of the design focuses on hygiene, with surface finishes available down to Ra 0.2–0.4 and the option of electropolishing for the highest levels of cleanability. Heating and cooling systems can be integrated to support pasteurisation, fermentation, and cooling, using segment pipes, half-pipes, pillow plates or dimple jackets depending on your needs.
We also offer complete process integration. From custom agitators to multichamber configurations, our solutions can be tailored to your specific production line. Both the inside and outside of our dairy tanks are finished with stainless steel cladding, ensuring hygiene on the inside and durability, cleanliness, and visual quality on the outside. Whether you need a single tank or a complete installation with multiple vessels, our project flexibility allows us to deliver the right solution for your production.
