The maple industry and broader food production sectors demand storage solutions that aren’t just durable but also adaptable to unique processing needs. At Meridian Manufacturing, we’ve built a reputation for designing high-quality, storage solutions that stand the test of time. With our Stainless Steel Flat Bottom Tanks, we’re bringing that same commitment to reliability and customization to maple syrup producers and food processors looking for more than an off-the-shelf solution.

Designed for the Maple Industry – With Producers in Mind

Maple syrup production isn’t like other food processing. It requires handling large volumes of raw sap, precise  refining processes, and strict sanitation standards to maintain product integrity. Our stainless steel tanks, crafted from high-quality 304 stainless steel, are built to withstand these exact demands.

What Makes Our Tanks Ideal for Maple Processing?

Built to Handle High Acidity – Raw maple sap contains natural acids that can eat away at lower-grade materials over time. Our stainless steel resists corrosion, keeping your product pure from collection to bottling.

Food-Safe & Easy to Sanitize – Our tanks are designed with smooth, non-porous surfaces that prevent bacterial buildup and are easy to clean between seasons.

Stable & Efficient Storage – The flat-bottom design makes these tanks an ideal choice for sugarhouses and large-scale operations, offering solid support and easy integration with existing systems.

We recognize that every maple producer operates differently. That’s why we don’t just sell tanks – we collaborate. Our in-house engineering team works alongside producers, engineering firms, and project managers to ensure the right fit, whether that means adding custom fittings, adjusting dimensions, or integrating temperature control solutions.

Expanding into Food Processing: A Tank for Every Industry

While our stainless steel tanks are making in roads in the maple industry, they’re also proving invaluable in other food production environments. Our expertise in bulk storage solutions translates seamlessly into industries like:

Dairy Processing – Storing milk, cream, and other dairy products requires strict temperature control and hygiene standards – our tanks are designed to meet those needs.

Beverage Production – Whether it’s juice, beer, or spirits, our tanks support bulk liquid storage with food-grade reliability.

Edible Oils & Liquid Ingredients – Protecting high-value ingredients from oxidation and contamination is critical – our stainless steel construction ensures product integrity.
