The 100PE is a 100 gallon cylindrical open top tank measuring 26.75 x 46.25 inches - a tall, narrow column rather than a squat tub. That geometry is a deliberate choice: the slim diameter tucks the tank into a corner or a line of process vessels with a minimal claim on floor space, while the height carries the volume. For dip work, it also means depth - long parts go down into solution instead of across it.
Molded polyethylene at 45 pounds, the tank moves empty with two people and shrugs off the rinse water, wash solutions, and process chemistry that open-top tanks earn their keep holding. Ronco has molded PE process tanks in Tustin, California since 1974, and this cylinder family is shop equipment in the plainest sense: no frills, wide-open access, resin that outlasts the work.
Open top does not mean fitting-free. Ronco installs drains, outlets, and other ports per order - spin-welded or threaded, at the locations you mark - so a 100PE can plumb into a rinse line or gravity-drain to a floor sink rather than being bailed by hand. Print the technical drawing below, mark your ports, and confirm the layout with the fitting planner on this page. A matching molded cover is available to close the tank between uses.
The rest of the cylinder sizes and the full line are at the Ronco Plastics hub, and the freight estimator prices delivery to your ZIP. OneSource Plastics is an authorized Ronco Plastics dealer.
