Production line and factory setup overview
A small/medium fabrication line producing one engineered family of circular corrugated bolted galvanised-steel water tanks from certified coated coil through decoiling, levelling, corrugating, programmed punching, hydraulic cutting, panel curving, edge protection, roof and base-component fabrication, trial-ring assembly, liner or approved seal-system installation, hydrostatic testing, kit counting and traceable packing.
Recommended lowest-entry line configuration Launch one 4-12 m diameter corrugated bolted tank family using 1.0-3.0 mm certified galvanized or Zn-Al-Mg coil. Contract the exact profile, hole pattern, curving range and structural design; include decoiler, leveler, 18-24 stand corrugating former, servo punching, hydraulic cut, curving unit, roof/base fixtures and a full trial-ring and hydrostatic-test system. Potable-water use requires a separately certified liner or coating and hygienic fittings.
Production process and implementation sequence
- Tank duty, water quality and structural design
- Coil certificate and coating release
- Decoiling, levelling and corrugating
- Programmed punching and hydraulic cut
- Panel curving and edge protection
- Roof, base, stiffener and fitting fabrication
- Trial-ring assembly and liner/seal installation
- Hydrostatic test, kit count and dispatch
Products, capacity and market fit
- Water storage supports farms, communities, construction and industrial sites.
- Bolted kits can be transported to provinces more efficiently than complete welded tanks.
- One engineered diameter/height family controls panels, bolts, roofs and foundations.
- Structural loads, corrosion, liner compatibility and hydrostatic testing determine safe service.
- Corrugated bolted water-tank kit - Diameter, height, volume, steel grade/BMT, coating, rings, roof, stiffeners, bolts, seal/liner and design loads - Farms, communities, construction and industry
- Potable-water tank package - Same structural kit plus certified hygienic liner/coating, covered roof, screened vent, drain and cleanable fittings - Drinking-water projects only after water-contact approval
