An 85 gallon full drain cone bottom inductor tank for products that must not stay behind
The Norwesco 85 gallon full drain cone bottom inductor tank, part number 44218, is a natural white polyethylene mixing tank 30 inches in diameter and 49 inches tall, weighing 37 lb empty. Full drain is Norwesco's name for the shape: a deep column over a cone that carries everything down to the 2 inch threaded outlet at its point, so a change of product does not start with scraping out the last of the old one. On top is a 16 inch threaded vented manway. 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-68572, sold separately.

Where a full drain tank earns its height
Buy this shape when the product is expensive, when it settles, or when the tank changes duty often. A treatment room that makes up a different chemical every week, a feed system that cannot tolerate yesterday's batch in today's, a fertilizer blend with solids that drop out overnight: in each of those the last gallon matters, and a full drain cone sends it to the outlet. The cost is height. Forty-nine inches before the stand goes under it puts the manway above shoulder height for most people, so plan a step or a platform, or look at the shorter 45 degree tanks if the loader will be lifting bags. Our 85 gallon full drain inductor tank guide covers how this tank is used, and the note on cone outlet sizing for high and low solids service is the one to read if the product carries solids.
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. Size the batch with the tank sizing calculator and the tank sizing guide.
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 before the order ships. Fit the valve before the first fill and support the valve and hose on their own.
- Manway. A 16 inch threaded vented manway on top, for bags, a mixer shaft and a brush. If you are adding a fill line, a vent or a level sensor, our guide to tank top fitting placement covers where each one goes and why.
- The stand. Norwesco pairs this tank with stand N-68572. Order it with the tank unless you have that stand already; give us the part number of any other stand 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.

Shipping and receiving
The tank ships LTL freight, 50 lb packed, lying on its side at roughly 49 by 30 by 30 inches, from the nearest of Norwesco's plants. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the lane cost to your ZIP. A stand ordered with it travels on the same order. At the tailgate, check the part number against 44218, look over the cone and the outlet before you sign, stand the tank in its cradle and fill it with water the first time before it carries anything else.
