A 65 gallon 40 degree cone bottom inductor tank on a 27 inch footprint
The Norwesco 65 gallon 40 degree cone bottom inductor tank, part number 44979, is a natural white polyethylene mixing tank 27 inches in diameter and 43 inches tall, weighing 35 lb empty. It carries its gallons in height rather than width, so it takes no more floor than a much smaller tank. It comes with a 2 inch threaded outlet at the bottom of the cone and a 16 inch threaded vented manway on top. The tank is rated for liquids up to 1.5 specific gravity, which covers water, liquid fertilizer and the common farm and treatment chemicals polyethylene handles. Water weighs 8.34 lb per gallon, so plan the stand and the floor for a full tank. The resin is FDA compliant per Norwesco, the service limit is 120 F, and Norwesco backs it with a 3 year warranty. It needs a stand: Norwesco's stand for this tank is part number N-64229, sold separately.

What a 65 gallon inductor tank is for
This is a make-up tank for an operation that batches more than a sprayer load at a time: a treatment chemical made up for a dosing pump, a fertilizer blend for a day in the field, a soluble product taken into solution before it goes to the process. Product goes in through the 16 inch manway, water follows, the batch is stirred or recirculated, and the finished mix leaves through the outlet at the point of the cone with nothing left behind in a flat bottom. The 40 degree cone is the shallower end of Norwesco's range, which keeps a tank of this volume within reach without a platform; a heavy suspension that must drain to the last pint is better served by a steeper cone. The 60 gallon inductor tank guide and the 80 gallon inductor tank guide bracket this size and cover the cone angle choice in detail.
What goes in it
Water, liquid fertilizer and the common farm and treatment chemicals are the normal loads. Check anything else in our chemical compatibility guide before the first fill; urea solution, calcium chloride, aluminum sulfate, sodium carbonate and acetic acid are the entries inductor tank buyers open most. Liquids heavier than 1.5 times water need a heavier rated tank. Keep the contents under 120 F. Use the tank sizing calculator and tank sizing guide to size the batch with room to stir.
Openings, fittings and what to check before you buy
- Outlet. A 2 inch threaded outlet at the point of the cone. Tell us the valve or adapter you are fitting and we will confirm the thread it mates to before the order ships. Fit the valve before the first fill and support it on its own.
- Manway. A 16 inch threaded vented manway on top. On a 43 inch tank standing in a cradle, plan where the loader stands.
- The stand. Norwesco pairs this tank with stand N-64229. A 40 degree cone needs a 40 degree cradle; give us the part number of any stand you already own and we will tell you whether it fits.
- The drawing. Norwesco's drawing for this tank is linked on this page under Technical Drawing, with the outlet position and the cone geometry.

A stand ordered with it travels on the same order. At the tailgate, check the part number against 44979, look over the cone and the outlet before you sign, set the tank in its stand and fill it with water the first time before it carries anything else.
