Snyder Industries 1000 Gallon 30 Degree Plastic Cone Bottom Tank

Two plants, a standard lane, and a very wide shipment

Two plants are listed for this part, Chowchilla, California, and Lincoln, Nebraska, with Nebraska named as the shipping state, and the freight class reads LTL under NMFC 156600-01. That is the ordinary, well-served lane rather than an oversize movement, which on a 1,000 gallon cone is not a small thing: a tall cone of the same volume can tip into an oversize booking, and this one does not. What it does instead is take up width. The shipping size is 86 inches long by 86 inches wide by 66 inches high, so the tank arrives as a broad, low object, and the constraint at your end is the gate, the aisle and the door rather than the ceiling. Measure the width of the route from the truck to the final position before delivery day. The same proportion decides where it can live. A 30 degree cone this wide and this short is the cone you buy when there is no headroom: under a low roof, inside a shed with a truss at eight feet, on a mezzanine deck, in a room where a tall vessel would not stand up. But a cone bottom tank does not rest on its own bottom, and this sheet publishes no stand, no legs and no support ring, so the support arrangement is specified separately and settled before the order. The cone bottom tank stand compatibility matrix is where that gets worked through across makers, and we will confirm what fits this part number when you ask. Plan the height under the discharge at the same time, because the whole value of a cone is what fits below it. Loads: 200 pounds empty, 8,340 pounds full of water, 15,846 pounds at the rating, all arriving through a stand into whatever you have put under it. Check the volume against your real batch in the tank sizing calculator and the freeboard in the tank sizing guide; on a wide, shallow vessel the last few inches of height hold a surprising amount, and they are the inches a foaming product uses up first.

Four thousand gallon cones on one circle, a five hundred below and a twelve fifty above

Four of these six are the same 86 by 66 inch shell holding the same 1,000 gallons, listed at 200, 210, 210 and 210 pounds. The sheet gives those weights and explains nothing about them, so we print what it says and add only what is useful: this listing is the lightest of the four and it is the one whose rating this page cites, a specific gravity of 1.9 with a maximum of 15.87 pounds per gallon. Where a site already runs one of the other three, match the part number so a lid, a gasket and a stand carry straight across. The two outer rows are the real decision. 6190000N42 holds 500 gallons in a 64 inch circle at 63 inches tall and 120 pounds: half the volume, twenty-two fewer inches of width and almost the same height, which makes it the one to buy when the doorway rather than the process is the limit. 8310000N42 holds 1,250 gallons in a 95 inch circle at 70 inches and 300 pounds: a quarter more volume for nine more inches of width and four more of height, which is the cheapest volume in the table if your floor can take the circle. That is the shape of this family in one sentence. Volume here is bought with width, not with height, and the number to check before you order any of them is the narrowest point on the route in.

A ten inch lid, the smallest opening in this family

• The lid: 10 inches, and it is the only opening this sheet publishes. Ten inches takes a fill hose, a lance, a dip tube and a level probe; it does not take a person, and it is a tight opening for cleaning a 1,000 gallon vessel. If your product changes often and the tank has to be washed between runs, say so at order time, because the opening is the constraint you will live with.
• Reaching it: at 66 inches the lid is head height on a shop floor, and it will be higher once the tank is on a stand. Plan the access at the same time as the stand rather than afterwards, because a lid nobody can reach safely is a lid that stays shut.
• Venting: this sheet does not describe the lid as vented. On a vessel that will be drawn down by a pump, the venting arrangement is worth confirming for your draw rate rather than assuming, and it is a question to ask before the first fill.
• The discharge: no outlet size and no bulkhead is published. The cone ends in a discharge and the sheet does not dimension it, so no number appears here. Give us the line size, the valve and the product and we will confirm what this part number carries.
• Under the cone: whatever hangs below, valve, reducer, first run of pipe, is carried on steelwork off the stand and never on the tank.
• Angle: the name gives 30 degrees and the sheet gives no cone angle field. A shallow cone drains free-flowing liquid cleanly and holds onto material that packs; the cone angle selection buyer's guide sets the angles against each other, and the thousand gallon steep cone buyer's guide is the read for anyone weighing a steeper bottom at this volume.
• Limits: 120 F / 48 C, and a specific gravity rating of 1.9 with a maximum of 15.87 pounds per gallon. No warranty term is published on this sheet.

Name the product when you order and the discharge valve, the gasket and any fitting follow the chemistry rather than the catalogue. On a cone, the fitting at the bottom is the one that is hardest to reach and most expensive to get wrong.

Settling, draw-off and the batch that has to leave clean

A thousand gallons over a cone is a working process vessel for operations that empty completely between batches: liquid fertiliser and crop input blending at an ag retailer, mixing and make-down in a chemical plant, polymer and coagulant preparation at a treatment works, wash water and solids recovery in a food plant, and settling duties where the point of the tank is that the heavy fraction goes out of the bottom rather than being skimmed off the top. The wide, low proportion adds one thing worth knowing. A shallow column of liquid stratifies less than a tall one and presents a larger surface area for the same volume, which helps a mixer do its work and hurts you if the product skins or evaporates. Match the tank to the behaviour of the material, not to the drawing. And where a product settles hard rather than pouring, be honest about the angle before you buy: a shallow cone is not the answer to everything that has to leave the bottom.

Rated chemistries for this tank

The manufacturer lists these liquids for this resin at the concentrations noted, with the fitting and gasket material to specify. Check the concentration and temperature you actually run on the linked page or in the chemical compatibility database before ordering.

• Hydrochloric Acid (37%, PVC)
• Hydrofluoric Acid (48%, PP/PVC)
• Hydrofluosilicic Acid (26%, PP/PVC)
• Hydrogen Peroxide (50%, PVC)
• Phosphoric Acid (85%, PVC)
• Sodium Hypochlorite (
• Sulfuric Acid (98%, CPVC).
• Acetic Acid (60%, PP/PVC)
• Aluminum Sulfate (50%)
• Calcium Chloride (40%)
• Ferric Chloride (50%)
• Ferric Sulfate (60%)

• Magnesium Chloride (30%)
• Ethylene Glycol (100%)
• Sodium Carbonate (30%)
• Potassium Carbonate (50%)
• Potassium Hydroxide (saturated)
• Sodium Thiosulfate (40%)
• Polyaluminum Chloride and
• Ozonated Water (up to 10 PPM).
• DEF (32.5%) requires 316SS fittings with an EPDM gasket
• Propylene Glycol and
• Zinc Orthophosphate run PP or 316SS with EPDM; and
• Sodium Bisulfate and
• Sodium Bisulfite use PVC/PP with EPDM. The one true exception is
• Peracetic Acid (30%): it needs 316SS fittings.

Two hundred pounds, eighty-six inches wide on the deck

This tank is moulded at Chowchilla, California, and Lincoln, Nebraska, with Nebraska listed as the state it ships from. The freight class reads LTL, a mode rather than a numeric class, under NMFC 156600-01, and the shipping size is 86 inches long by 86 inches wide by 66 inches high, which is a wide load on a deck but an ordinary one to book. Price the lane to your ZIP with the freight cost estimator; the listed price is before freight. At 200 pounds empty a forklift or a small crew takes it off, but the width is what will catch you out, so walk the route from the truck to the final position with a tape before delivery day and count the gates, the door frames and the corner by the switchgear. Take it from under the body, never by the lid, and never let the cone carry the weight on the ground. Set the stand first, level it, put the tank in it, then get the receiving container or the line under the discharge before anything is plumbed permanently. Fill with clean water and hold that 8,340 pound load while somebody reads the lid seal, the discharge joint and the stand. Then drain it through the cone rather than by pumping from the top, because watching how it empties with water is the only cheap version of that lesson. Once it is full and holding, leave it alone for a day before the plumbing goes on; a settled tank is a quiet one.
