@Robert Carter As it is a tank for shredding fruit Robert, that is quite probably, I just wanted to check with someone who may know about the process. Thanks very much for your help.

24 metric tonnes

Would that make sense in the context?

La tonelada o megagramo (de tonel, y esta del diminutivo del francés antiguo tonne ‘tonel grande’)1​2​ es una unidad de medida de masa en el sistema métrico decimal y actualmente de masa en el Sistema Internacional de Unidades (SI) que equivale a 1000 kg. Su símbolo es t (en minúscula, aunque en el uso también son frecuentes otras formas, no reconocidas en el SI, como «T» o «Tm»)

I believe the SI abbreviation in English is just "t":

"The tonne (/tʌn/ (About this soundlisten) or /tɒn/; symbol: t) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms."
