Whether you operate a dairy farm, manage a hot water system, or run a processing plant, the question is the same:

When is the right time to replace your equipment?

Waiting until failure often means unplanned downtime, emergency costs, and operational disruption. However, replacing too early can feel unnecessary. The right moment usually sits in between.

Signs it may be time to start planning include rising energy consumption, inconsistent performance, increasing maintenance requirements, and equipment that no longer supports your process or capacity needs.

Across dairy, water heating, and process applications, modern stainless steel equipment can deliver improved efficiency, reliability, and control, helping future-proof operations and reduce long-term costs.

Proactive replacement isn’t just about new equipment. It’s about protecting uptime, improving performance, and supporting growth.

And when equipment is designed and manufactured to a high standard from the outset, it doesn’t just perform better, it lasts longer too.

If you’re unsure where your current assets stand, starting the conversation early can make all the difference.

Great to see one of our vessels out in the field - and on display at the Ice Cream and Artisan Food Show

We recently supplied a 600 litre ice cream vessel for our customer Fincher Limited, which is now being showcased as part of their exhibition setup.

Designed and manufactured in stainless steel, this bespoke tank is built to support consistent processing and dependable performance, helping enhance product texture, flavour, and overall quality.

Even better, our sales team were able to visit the show, see the vessel in situ, and capture these images from the stand.

If you’re looking for bespoke stainless steel vessels for food or beverage processing, we’re always happy to discuss your application.

Precision-engineered tanks for demanding ice cream processes.

We have recently completed three bespoke ice cream tanks for a single customer:
• 1 × 600 litre vessel
• 2 × 1,200 litre vessels

Each tank has been designed and manufactured with integrated steam injector inlets, helping to enhance the texture, flavour, and overall quality of the final product.

Rather than adapting a standard design, every vessel was engineered around the customer’s specific process, layout, and performance requirements.

From capacity and geometry through to connections and internal features, every detail is built to suit the application.

Bespoke stainless steel vessels.
Built for real processes.
Manufactured in the UK.

Make any tank robot-ready.

The GALA-KOOL Pro controller can be retrofitted to almost any existing dairy tank, enabling compatibility with robotic milking systems.

That means farms can prepare for robotic milking without replacing the vessel itself. Existing tanks gain modern cooling control, automated wash sequences, and reliable integration with robotic workflows.

A practical upgrade for progressive farms looking to modernise step-by-step, improve consistency, and extend the working life of their equipment.

New year. New builds. New vessels.

January may mark the first month of the calendar, but production across Fabdec Group is already in full flow.

This month’s Vessels of the Month showcase highlights bespoke manufacturing across EXCELSIOR, BRITANX Process and Fabdec Dairy Systems.

EXCELSIOR Water Heating
A compact 100-litre buffer vessel, designed and manufactured for a customer requiring reliable performance where space is extremely limited. A small footprint, engineered precisely for the duty.

BRITANX Process
A 1,000-litre cider mixing tank produced for a site with a strict 6ft maximum height restriction. The solution? A wider vessel configuration to achieve capacity without exceeding height limits.

Fabdec Dairy Systems
Another month of non-stop dairy tank production, supporting farms nationwide with high-quality stainless steel storage and cooling solutions.

Different industries. Different challenges. One manufacturing approach:
bespoke, engineered, and built to last.

Holding, storage, and buffer vessels. Similar in appearance. Very different in purpose.

In process environments, vessel selection directly impacts performance, efficiency, and system stability.

Holding / storage vessels are designed primarily for capacity.
They store product, intermediate, or finished media safely until it is required elsewhere in the process.
Typical focus areas include volume, material compatibility, hygiene, and long-term integrity.

Buffer vessels, by contrast, are designed to manage flow.
They sit between stages of a process to absorb fluctuations, stabilise supply, and protect downstream equipment from peaks and drops in demand.

In simple terms:
Storage vessels hold volume.
Buffer vessels control continuity.

At BRITANX, we design and manufacture both vessel types as fully bespoke solutions, engineered around your product, process, space constraints, and operating conditions.

Because the right vessel is not defined by size alone. It is defined by function.

Big herds demand serious cooling.

When milk volumes increase, cooling systems must perform without compromise.

Fabdec Dairy Systems’ falling film chiller is built for large dairy farms handling high daily throughput. By spreading milk as a thin film over a large stainless steel surface, it delivers rapid cooling, consistent temperatures, and improved energy efficiency.

Whether milk arrives in peaks from a parlour or flows steadily throughout the day, the system is designed to keep quality high as volumes scale.

High output. Reliable cooling. Built in the UK.

We have recently installed a new hand-held laser welding system at Fabdec Group.

Hand-held laser welding enables greater precision, cleaner welds, and improved control on complex stainless-steel components, while reduced heat input helps preserve material integrity and surface finish.

A dedicated, safety-controlled area has been established for operating the equipment, with our fabrication team currently undertaking hands-on training to ensure correct, safe, and consistent use.

This investment supports our ongoing focus on in-house capability, process improvement, and high-quality British-manufactured stainless-steel engineering across our thermal solutions and dairy systems.

More updates to follow as the system moves toward full production use.

The best food requires the best vessels.
From bread to sauces to ice cream.

No matter the application, BRITANX process vessels are engineered to deliver consistency, hygiene, and long-term reliability across food production environments.

Designed and manufactured in the UK, our vessels support precise thermal control, efficient mixing, and dependable processing, helping food producers maintain quality at every stage of production. Whether the requirement is heating, cooling, blending, or holding, each solution is built around the process, not forced to fit it.

Because when product quality, uptime, and compliance matter, the vessel is never just a container. It is a critical part of the process.
