Snyder Industries 110 Gallon XLPE Open Top Batch Storage Tank

The Snyder Industries 110 Gallon Open Top Batch Storage Tank is a cone-bottom batch vessel molded in cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), rated to a 1.9 specific gravity, standing 46 inches tall on a square 30 by 30 inch base. The open top makes it a working batch tank: you charge it from above, mix or dose, and drain through the cone. This page answers the three things that decide a buy here - whether it fits your job, how it ships, and the one detail people get wrong on a 1.9-SG cone tank.

Will it work for your batch process?

This is a 110-gallon cone bottom tank in white XLPE, 46 inches tall over a square 30 by 30 inch footprint. Full of plain water it carries about 917 pounds; at its rated 1.9 specific gravity it is built to hold up to roughly 1,743 pounds of contents - an 826-pound swing between water and a full-density batch, and the headroom that lets it handle heavier liquids rather than water alone. The cross-linked wall is the resin Snyder uses for demanding service, and the cone bottom drains toward a single low point so solids and sediment move toward the outlet instead of settling flat. One thing to plan for up front: our data lists no factory fittings on this tank, so you select and confirm the outlet, bulkhead, and gasket separately against your contents and your drain-time target. Our cone bottom discharge engineering guide walks through 1-inch versus 1.5-inch versus 2-inch bulkhead sizing, and the outlet sizing guide covers high-solids versus low-solids geometry so the cone empties instead of plugging.

Sizing, support, and the drawing

An open top cone bottom tank cannot stand on its own - the cone has to be carried in a stand or platform sized to the tank, and the square 30 by 30 inch base matters here, since a stand built for a round footprint will not seat it correctly. Treat the stand as a required companion purchase, not an option, and match one rated for the full loaded weight at your actual specific gravity rather than the water figure. Check it against the cone bottom tank stand compatibility matrix for Snyder fitment, then run your volume and weight numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide before you commit. For dimensions, port locations, and cone geometry, see the technical drawing on this page.

The mistake to avoid

The number that trips people up on this tank is specific gravity. The 1.9 rating tells you the densest contents the wall is built to carry, not that every batch behaves the same - as your liquid gets heavier, the loaded weight climbs from the 917-pound water figure toward the 1,743-pound ceiling, and the stand and the slab underneath have to be engineered for the high end, not the low one. Size the support and the floor to the loaded weight at your real product density, keep the open top stable since there is no closed lid to add rigidity, and verify the fitting and gasket material you choose against your contents before filling.
