16,000L Cone Bottom Tank – High-Capacity Precision Storage for Agriculture & Industry
The challenge
Agricultural, chemical, and industrial sectors require large-scale liquid storage solutions that ensure complete drainage, safe handling, and efficient clean-down between chemical batches. Standard flat-bottom tanks often retain liquid residue, leading to contamination, wasted product, and increased maintenance.
A robust and adaptable solution was needed that would:
- Ensure thorough drainage with a 15-degree conical base and centre drain.
- Support high-density liquids, with a 1.5SG rating, making it suitable for various chemicals and fertilisers.
- Provide flexible installation with modular feet or a steel base for stability.
- Enable safe lifting and transport, featuring lifting lugs with moulded-in steel inserts.
- Offer top-fill capabilities, allowing easy refilling and integration into existing liquid management systems.
- Enhance clean-down efficiency with an optional rinse kit for safe internal washing after each chemical batch.
- Be engineered for longevity, utilising Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to validate strength and durability under real-world conditions.
The solution
The 16,000L Cone Bottom Tank was developed to meet the demands of large-scale agricultural and industrial operations, offering:
- Efficient drainage and minimal product retention: Tanks have a fully conical base with a 15-degree slope.
- Modular or steel base options: Customers can select modular feet for adaptability or a steel base for maximum stability.
- Self-supporting roof: Engineered for structural integrity and durability.
- Lifting lugs with moulded-in steel inserts: Designed for safe and secure lifting during transport and installation.
- Top fill options: Enabling easy refilling and compatibility with automated and manual liquid dispensing systems.
- Optional rinse kit: Allowing for safe and thorough internal cleaning after each chemical batch, minimising contamination risks.
- High-density liquid rating: Built to handle 1.5SG-rated liquids, making it ideal for various chemical and agricultural applications.
- Engineered for strength: Finite Element Analysis (FEA) ensures the tank meets performance, safety, and longevity requirements.
