2000 Gallon PP Open Top Cone Bottom Tank

The Enduraplas 2000 Gallon PP Open Top Cone Bottom Tank is a polypropylene bulk vessel built for batching, mixing, and full-drain chemical service where the entire working volume needs to empty through the cone. It stands 86 inches tall on an 80 by 80 inch footprint and holds 2,000 gallons, with an open top for access, agitation, and top-mounted fittings. This is the open top cone bottom polypropylene tank buyers search for when they need a mixing or slurry vessel that drains completely.

Full-water static load: 16,680 lb over an 80 x 80 in footprint — roughly 261 lb/ft² of bearing minimum. The stand or containment pad under this tank has to carry that dead load plus any dynamic load from agitation, so size the structure before you size the outlet.

Will it work for your process?

This is a polypropylene (PP) tank, not the HDPE most water and general-chemical tanks are molded from, which is why the resin is called out in the model name. Two things gate whether it fits your fluid, and both are verify-first. Confirm the tank's maximum service temperature against your fluid's operating temperature, and confirm specific gravity: this listing does not publish an SG rating, so call 866-418-1777 to confirm the rated specific gravity before matching it to any fluid heavier than water (SG greater than 1.0). The open-top cone-bottom geometry is meant for solids-carrying and full-drain duty — size your outlet and cone drain to your slurry before you drill. Our cone-bottom outlet sizing guide walks through particle-size math and bridge-free outlet geometry so the cone empties instead of plugging.

Fittings, layout, and the mistake to avoid

Because the top is open, fitting placement is yours to plan rather than pre-drilled. Lay out vent, fill, level, and drain deliberately so maintenance access and cross-contamination risk are engineered out from the start; our top-fitting placement strategy and level-gauge selection guide cover the layout and instrumentation decisions. The single most common mistake on a PP chem tank is treating it like a polyethylene tank and skipping the resin-versus-fluid check. Before this tank goes into service, verify three things against the manufacturer chemical-resistance chart at your actual concentration and temperature: the tank resin versus your fluid, the gasket elastomer, and the fitting body material. All three touch the chemical, and all three have to be compatible. Start with our Chemical Compatibility Database. If the tank will hold a regulated chemical, plan your NFPA 704, GHS, and DOT labeling before it is filled.

Sizing and freight

Use our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to confirm 2,000 gallons and the 80 by 80 inch footprint fit your pad and process before you order. This tank ships LTL freight, quoted live to your ZIP through the Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we will work up your freight logistics and confirm the resin and specific-gravity match for your chemical.
