1600 Gallon 15 Degree Plastic Vertical Cone Bottom Tank with Stand

The Enduraplas 1600 Gallon 15 Degree Plastic Vertical Cone Bottom Tank with Stand is built for process work where you need the tank to drain completely - the 15-degree cone bottom keeps solids and liquids moving toward the outlet instead of settling on a flat floor. Rated at 1,600 gallons, it stands 96 inches tall on a 90 x 90 inch footprint, with the stand supporting the cone so the vessel drains under gravity. Dimensions on this listing are verified against the launch spec.

Will it work for your application

This is a cone bottom mixing and storage tank - the geometry that batch, dosing, and settle-and-drain operations are built around. At full capacity of water (specific gravity 1.0) it holds 13,344 pounds. Spread across the 90 x 90 inch footprint - 56.25 square feet - that is roughly 237 pounds per square foot of average bearing before you add the stand steel and the tank's own weight, so size the pad accordingly. If you are storing a chemical rather than water, that weight scales with the fluid's specific gravity: a solution heavier than water pushes the wall and stand harder. If you are still working out whether 1,600 gallons is the right batch size for your throughput, run the numbers with the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit.

Chemical service - confirm the specific-gravity rating first

Before this tank goes into chemical service, call us at 866-418-1777 to confirm the specific-gravity rating and resin grade against your chemical's concentration and temperature - there is no SG rating published on this listing, and matching the tank to the fluid on volume alone is the single most common mistake on a cone bottom process tank. A vessel sized correctly for gallons can still be wrong for the fluid if the specific gravity or chemistry exceeds what the wall is rated for; when your chemistry sits near or above water's weight, verify the rating explicitly rather than assuming the water figure carries over. Check your chemical against resin ratings in the Chemical Compatibility Database, and match the cone-outlet fitting and gasket materials to the same standard - the outlet is where an incompatible elastomer fails first.

Sizing and specification resources

If you are comparing cone-bottom-with-poly-stand configurations, note that this tank is a 15-degree cone - our buyer's guides cover the 30-degree variants, which drain and stand differently, so use them for the sizing and stand trade-offs rather than an exact geometry match. See the 1600 gallon 30-degree cone bottom with poly stand guide for a like-sized (different-angle) comparison, plus the 300 gallon, 310 gallon, and 175 gallon 30-degree guides if you are also spec'ing smaller vertical cone bottom process tanks with stands.
