Get an Ageing Vat QuoteControlled Maturation
Ageing vats hold and mature product — ice-cream mix, cultured bases and process liquids — at precise temperature with gentle agitation. ATMAN fabricates insulated, jacketed vats that hold temperature and mix without damaging the product.
Jacketed, insulated, agitated
Double-jacketed for heating or chilling, PUF-insulated to hold temperature, with a slow-speed scraped or anchor agitator for uniform maturation — instrumented and CIP-ready.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ageing vat used for?
To hold and mature product such as ice-cream mix at a precise temperature with gentle agitation, developing body and texture before freezing.
Are the vats jacketed and insulated?
Yes. Double-jacketed for heating or chilling and PUF-insulated to hold temperature, with a slow-speed agitator.
What sizes do you fabricate?
Engineered to your batch volume and duty, from small mix tanks to large ageing vats, each sized to your product.
Are they CIP-ready?
Yes. SS316 contact surfaces with spray-ball CIP and hygienic, audit-ready design.
