3000 Gallon 30 Degree HDPE Vertical Cone Bottom Tank with Poly Stand

The Enduraplas 3000 Gallon 30 Degree HDPE Vertical Cone Bottom Tank ships with a matching poly stand so the full 30-degree cone drains to a single low point - the reason processors choose a cone bottom over a flat-bottom vertical when batch mixing, settling, or complete drain-down matters. It stands 134 inches tall on a 96-inch (8 ft) diameter footprint, so plan your ceiling clearance and pad before it arrives. Molded from HDPE, this is a cone-bottom process tank meant to be emptied between runs rather than a static potable-water store.

Will it work for your process?

At 3000 gallons, a full load of water weighs roughly 25,020 lb, and any process liquid heavier than water weighs proportionally more - that combined load rides on the poly stand and the pad beneath it, so both have to be rated for it. Confirm the tank's specific-gravity rating against the liquid you plan to store before you commit; a cone-bottom poly stand tank is sized around the density it was built for, and running a heavier chemical than the shell is rated for is the single most common cone-bottom mistake. If you are not certain where 3000 gallons lands for your throughput, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before ordering. Confirm the outlet and fitting configuration at the cone tip before you order - match your bulkhead, gasket, and valve materials to your chemistry, because the fitting and gasket, not the tank wall, are usually what fails first in chemical service. Call 866-418-1777 if you need the outlet layout confirmed for your setup.

Chemical service - confirm before you fill

This is an HDPE cone-bottom tank. Before you put any chemical in it, confirm resin and specific-gravity compatibility for your exact concentration and temperature against the manufacturer chemical-resistance chart, and match the outlet fitting and gasket material to that same chemistry. Start with our Chemical Compatibility Database, and when the liquid runs hotter or heavier than the shell's rating, step up to a higher-SG-rated tank rather than forcing this one. The cone-bottom, poly-stand, 30-degree drain configuration is exactly what you want for full evacuation between batches - just size the shell to the fluid, not the other way around.

Freight

This tank ships LTL freight on its own pallet or stand, and at 134 inches tall it is a tall, oversize load - factor in fork or crane access at delivery. Freight is quoted live to your ZIP; get your number from the Freight Cost Estimator or call 866-418-1777 and we will price it to your dock. For cone-bottom sizing and setup guidance on a different drain geometry, see our 3000 Gallon 15-Degree Cone Bottom Tank buyer's guide. When you know your liquid, your ZIP, and your pad rating, call 866-418-1777 and we will confirm the right cone-bottom tank for the job.
