About Cone Bottom Tanks
Cone bottom tanks drain completely through the bottom outlet, making them ideal for mixes, slurries and batch processes. HDPE handles a wide range of acids, caustics and water-based chemicals and is the most economical resin.
- The cone empties fully through the outlet, with nothing left behind.
- Several cone angles are offered, such as 15, 30 and 45 degrees.
- Cone bottom tanks sit in a stand that supports the cone and raises the outlet for draining. Stands are sold separately.
- Rotationally molded as a single piece, with no welds or seams to fail.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose a cone bottom tank?
Choose a cone bottom when you need to drain a tank completely, for example with slurries, mixes or batch processes where product must not be left in the bottom.
Does a cone bottom tank need a stand?
Yes. A cone bottom tank sits in a stand that supports the cone and leaves room for the outlet piping. Stands are sold separately; ask us for the stand that fits this tank when you request a quote.
What do the 1.5, 1.9 and 2.2 SG ratings mean?
The SG (specific gravity) rating is the heaviest liquid a tank is built to hold. Water is 1.0. Tanks rated 1.5 SG are for liquids up to 12.5 pounds per gallon, 1.9 SG up to 15.8 pounds per gallon and 2.2 SG up to 18.3 pounds per gallon. Choose a rating at or above the specific gravity of your liquid. See our specific gravity chart.
Will this tank work with my chemical?
Check your chemical in our chemical compatibility database, or tell us the chemical, concentration and temperature when you request a quote and we will confirm the right resin and SG rating.
