Types of Polypropylene
Type | Main Properties | Temperature Range |
PP-H (Homopolymer Polypropylene) | Rigid, strong, chemically resistant | -10°C to +100°C (short-term up to +120°C) |
PP-B (Block Copolymer Polypropylene) | High impact resistance, flexibility, crack resistance | -20°C to +80°C |
PP-R (Random Copolymer Polypropylene) | Heat-resistant, chemically inert, good dielectric properties | -5°C to +95°C |
PP-GF (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene) | Rigid, load-resistant, UV-resistant, minimal thermal expansion | -10°C to +100°C |
Food-Grade Tanks
Food-grade polypropylene tanks should be made from random copolymer polypropylene (PP-R) or special food-grade polypropylene (PP-FDA) that meets sanitary regulations.
Our tanks offer the following features:
Chemical Inertness – Does not react with food products or release harmful substances.
Temperature Resistance – Withstands hot liquids up to +95°C (PP-R).
Non-Porous Surface – Does not absorb odors or promote bacterial growth.
Easy to Clean – Resistant to cleaning and disinfecting agents.
Specification
Characteristic | Details |
Weight, lbs | 220 — 22,000 |
Volume, gallons | 20 — 10,000 |
Dimensions (Diameter, Height, Width) | Depends on the specific tank |
Wall Thickness, inches | 0.3 — 7 |
Material | UV-Stabilized Polypropylene – Includes additives that protect against UV radiation, preventing fading and degradation of the material under sunlight. |
Antistatic Polypropylene – Contains additives to prevent static electricity buildup on the surface. | |
Mineral-Filled Polypropylene – Contains mineral additives to increase rigidity and thermal stability. | |
Metal-Filled Plastic – Used in the food industry for metal detectors to check for contamination after processing on a conveyor. | |
Maximum Operating Pressure | Depends on technical requirements |
Lid/Valve Types | Butterfly Valves – Used to regulate liquid flow, compact, and provide good sealing. |
Ball Valves – Designed for full flow shut-off or opening, ensuring excellent sealing and long service life. | |
Rotary Valves – Control the flow of bulk materials or liquids, ideal for precise dosing. | |
Threaded Lids – Common for small and medium tanks, easy to install, and reliable. | |
Quick-Release Lids – Allow fast opening and closing without tools. | |
Vent Valves – Control internal pressure in the tank, preventing accidents from pressure fluctuations. | |
Breather Valves – Maintain atmospheric pressure inside the tank, regulating air flow as liquid levels change. | |
Pressure Relief Valves – Automatically open when a certain pressure is reached to prevent tank damage. | |
Floating Lids – Used to minimize air contact with sensitive liquids such as wine. | |
Hydraulic Valves – Used in high-pressure systems. | |
UV Resistance | Yes |
Certifications & Compliance | Yes |
The cost of equipment depends on:
- Service life;
- The liquid filling the tank;
- Liquid temperature;
- Installation location (inside or outside the premises);
- Welding method between tank elements;
- External factors (static and dynamic).
Additional Configuration
- For process, tower, or evaporative pumps.
- Ensures continuous operation in the event of pump failure or maintenance.
- Automatic control of all sensors and mechanisms.
- Automation based on client preferences, with the possibility of integrating the tank's control with the existing controls used at the client’s facility.
- Pressure sensors and temperature sensors are monitored in real time. If the readings exceed acceptable limits, both audible and visual alarms are activated.
- A pH sensor measures the acidity or alkalinity of the liquid, which is crucial for preventing equipment corrosion and system blockages. pH data is used for precise chemical dosing (corrosion inhibitors, biocides) to ensure stable operation.
- A pressure sensor monitors the process pressure and sends a signal to the drive, which adjusts the flow rate according to the system’s current needs.
- A temperature sensor transmits a signal to the drive to regulate the fan speed based on temperature control system requirements.
- The setup automatically uses only the minimum necessary energy based on settings, promoting energy savings, reducing wear, and cutting costs.
- Reducing motor speed by 20% can save up to 50% of energy for pumps or fans.
- Depending on the number of sensors, additional skids may be required for their installation and connection.
- Insulation protects the cooling liquid and equipment from freezing, ensuring smooth operation.
- Maintains a stable temperature, preventing thermal fluctuations that could negatively affect equipment.
- Prevents condensation, which can lead to corrosion and slipping hazards.
- Helps maintain the necessary reaction temperature, preventing slowdowns or stoppages.
- Simplified and more cost-effective installation, offering ease of use for operators.
- All starters and control devices are pre-installed in a NEMA 12 enclosure with short circuit protection, a transformer, and a single power supply input.
- Power indicator and switches are located on the door of the enclosure.
- A float switch activates the solenoid valve to supply water to the tank.
- The float switch is mounted outside the main reservoir in a small closed chamber that is placed at the required level.
- Due to its location outside the main reservoir, the float chamber does not affect turbulence inside the main tank, ensuring more stable water level control.
- Fluid is supplied through automatically adjustable valves.
- Temperature control.
- A rotameter is used to measure the passing liquid, enabling efficiency calculations.
- Installation on a frame above the PTS is available, saving floor space.
- Multiple equipment configurations are offered, making optimal use of the space beneath the tank.
