Step up from the smaller cylinders and the 150PE is where an open-top tank starts feeling like a piece of plant rather than a bucket: 150 gallons in a 31 x 48 inch molded polyethylene cylinder, wide enough to work parts in, tall enough to hold real batch volume. Mixing, soaking, rinsing, staging solution for a line - this is the general-purpose size that ends up doing all of it.
At 60 pounds empty it still moves without equipment, and the polyethylene body handles the acids, cleaners, and process solutions that shop tanks live with. It is molded by Ronco in Tustin, California, a plant that has been producing PE process tanks since 1974 - this family is about as proven as plastic tanks get.
Where the 150PE gets interesting is configuration. Ronco spin-welds or threads fittings per order at the locations you mark, so the tank can arrive with a bottom drain for full dumps, a side outlet plumbed to a pump, or whatever your process piping wants - decided by you, executed at the plant. Print the technical drawing below, mark the ports, and settle the layout in the fitting planner on this page. A matching molded cover closes the tank between uses.
