Product Description
An ageing vat is a specialized vessel used in various industries, particularly in food, beverage, and chemical manufacturing, to allow substances to mature, develop desired characteristics, or undergo controlled biochemical and physical transformations over time. The vat provides an environment where factors like temperature, humidity, pressure, and microbial activity can be regulated to optimize the ageing process.
