Snyder Industries 1000 Gallon 45 Degree HDPE Cone Bottom Tank in White

Lincoln, Nebraska, and a tall shipment instead of a wide one

One plant is listed for this part, Lincoln, Nebraska, which puts the plains, the Midwest and most of the country's ag and process belt on a short lane. The freight class reads LTL under NMFC 156600-01, an ordinary mode rather than an oversize booking, and the sheet's shipping size reads 103 inches long by 64 inches wide by 64 inches high for a tank listed 64 inches across and 103 inches tall. Both are printed as given. What that means at your end is that this cone travels lying down and has to be stood up on site, which is a different delivery from a wide, low tank that comes off ready to set. Have the lifting arrangement and the space to swing it planned before the truck books in. The height is also what governs where it lives. A 64 inch circle is a small footprint for 1,000 gallons, which is the reason to buy this one where floor space is tight, but 103 inches of tank plus whatever the stand adds beneath it will want real headroom, and that total is the number to check against your roof or your truss before anything is ordered. This sheet publishes no stand, no legs and no support ring, so the support is specified separately; a 45 degree cone cannot stand on its own bottom and nothing here tells you what it sits in. Ask us and we will confirm what fits this part number. The loads are modest for the volume, 210 pounds empty, 8,340 pounds full of water and 15,846 pounds at the rating, but they all arrive through the stand into a small circle of floor, so the pad under it is an engineered element rather than an afterthought. Run your batch volume and turnover through the tank sizing calculator before the structure is drawn, and take the freeboard from the tank sizing guide, because on a narrow column the headspace disappears faster than people expect.

The steep cone against the shallow ones at the same volume

Four rows here hold 1,000 gallons and every one of them weighs 210 pounds, so weight tells you nothing. Shape tells you everything. This tank puts the volume into a 64 inch circle and 103 inches of height; the three 1890000 listings put the same volume into an 86 inch circle only 66 inches tall. Those are opposite answers to the same question and the site decides between them. Where the floor is the constraint and the roof is not, buy the narrow column: twenty-two fewer inches of diameter is a doorway, an aisle and a corner you no longer have to negotiate. Where the roof is low, the wide ones exist for exactly that and we would rather send you to them. The steep bottom is the other half of the argument and it is the reason most buyers end up here. A 45 degree cone is a real slope; it is bought for product that will not move down a shallow one, and the height it costs is the price of that. Of the remaining rows, 6190000N42 is the interesting comparison: 500 gallons on the same 64 inch circle at only 63 inches tall and 120 pounds, which is this tank's footprint at half the volume and less than two thirds the height. It is the one to buy when the ceiling will not take this tank and the process can live with a smaller batch. 8310000N42 at 1,250 gallons on a 95 inch circle and 70 inches tall is the other extreme: the most volume in the table, bought entirely with floor.

An eighteen inch threaded vented manway over a steep cone

• The opening: an 18 inch threaded vented manway, and it is the only opening this sheet publishes. Eighteen inches is a genuine working opening rather than a fill hole: a lance, an arm, a mixer shaft and a light all go through it, which is what makes a tank of this volume realistic to clean between products.
• Reaching it: the manway sits at 103 inches before the stand adds anything, so this tank needs a platform or a ladder with a proper landing rather than a step stool. Design that access with the stand, not after it, because on a narrow column a person working at the top is also a person at height.
• The vent: the manway is listed as vented, and that vent path is what protects the wall while a pump draws the column down. Keep it clear, inspect it on a schedule, and never blank it to control a smell.
• The discharge: the sheet publishes no outlet size and no bulkhead. The cone ends in a discharge and the sheet does not dimension it, so no number appears here. Tell us the line size, the valve and the product, and we will confirm what this part number carries before it is ordered.
• What hangs below: the valve, any reducer and the first length of pipe are supported on steelwork off the stand. Nothing hangs on the cone, and on a steep cone the temptation to hang something is greater because the discharge is higher off the floor.
• Angle: the name gives 45 degrees and the sheet carries no cone angle field. The thousand gallon steep cone buyer's guide works through what that slope buys and what it costs in height at this exact volume.
• Limits: 120 F / 48 C and a specific gravity rating of 1.9. No warranty term is published on this sheet.

Name the product when you order. Where the vessel stands over a floor, a yard or a drain that would have to be recovered after a release, the containment decision is separate from the tank decision, and the Captor containment comparison argues the polyethylene route against the steel one on the points that decide it.

Product that will not slide off a shallow slope

A steep cone at this volume is bought where the material is the problem rather than the volume: slurries and settled solids in mineral and wash plant work, thickened sludge and polymer at a treatment works, viscous intermediates and resins in a manufacturing plant, food slurries and by-product streams, and any batch process where the vessel has to come out clean before the next product goes in. The test for whether you need the 45 degrees is simple and it is not about the tank at all: watch what your material does on a slope. If it runs, a shallow cone is cheaper in height and easier to fit. If it sits, clings, bridges or leaves a ring, the steep bottom is the difference between a vessel that empties and a vessel somebody stands over with a bar and a hose at every changeover. The other reason people end up here is footprint. A 64 inch circle holding a thousand gallons puts real volume into a corner where a wide cone would never go.

Two hundred and ten pounds, shipped a hundred and three inches long

This tank is moulded at Lincoln, Nebraska, and the sheet lists Nebraska as the state it ships from. The freight class reads LTL, a mode and not a numeric class, under NMFC 156600-01, and the sheet's ship dimensions read 103 inches long by 64 inches wide by 64 inches high against a tank listed 64 inches across and 103 inches tall; both are printed as the sheet gives them. Price the lane to your ZIP with the freight cost estimator; the listed price is before freight. At 210 pounds the weight is easy and the geometry is not: a tank that travels on its side has to be stood upright on site, so have the lift, the slings and the clear swing planned rather than improvised in the yard with the driver waiting. Never stand it on the cone tip to rest it, and never drag it. Set the stand, level it, seat the tank, and only then plumb the discharge and fix the access platform. Fill with clean water, hold that 8,340 pound load, and read the manway seal, the discharge joint, the stand feet and the pad in that order before anything else goes in. When the water comes out, watch how the last of it leaves the cone: on a steep bottom that is the moment you find out whether your valve is as full-bore as the drawing said it was. Save the pallet; a tank that ever has to move again is easier to move on it.
