The Best Uses for Dimple Jackets

A dimple jacket is a sheet of metal with divots—or as the name suggests, dimples—across the entirety of its surface. Because of their thermal qualities, these sheets of metal are often used on tanks that must keep their contents heated or cooled. Known for their reliability and versatility, dimple jackets can be used in a wide variety of products and industries. Below are a few of the best uses for dimple jackets.

Chemical Processing

Dimple jackets are commonly used in chemical processing. In chemical processing, a given chemical or chemical compound undergoes a change involving a chemical reaction. In order to achieve these reactions, chemical processing depends upon heat transfer. Dimple jacket heat transfer enables chemists to control the temperature of the tank the chemical is in, aiding in the processing of the chemical.

Food Processing

Commercial food processing is another industry that utilizes the technology of dimple jackets. Dimple jacket tanks are often used to either manufacture or store liquid foods like sauces or preserves. Because heat is essential to chemical reactions, dimple jackets can, for example, be used to regulate the amount of sugar in these sauces or preserves. Dimple jackets can also accommodate the need for a vessel that is both heated and cooled.

Beverage Processing

Whether you are in the process of making a beverage or are storing it long term, the last thing you want is for that beverage to become hotter or cooler than it should be. This is where dimple jackets come in handy. Tanks fitted with dimple jackets are typically used in the wine industry to keep wine at the correct temperature during fermentation. They are also able to reliably keep any other liquids that may need to be kept heated or cooled at their appropriate temperature. This makes dimple jackets a good choice for both beverage manufacturers and sellers.

Custom Projects

The best uses of dimple jackets are not limited to just chemical, food, and beverage processing. Thanks to their versatility and ability to be molded to different shapes, dimple jackets are a good choice for your custom projects.
