Snyder Industries 11500 Gallon Cone Bottom Tank

Where this one fits

A cone bottom this size is a batching and settling vessel. Everything in it runs to one low point, so a full truckload can be mixed, held and drawn off to the last gallon, and solids that drop out leave through the cone instead of caking a flat floor. Treatment plants, fertilizer yards and process sites use it for coagulants, brines, blended solutions and rinse water. The standard wall is the right call when your liquid is 1.5 specific gravity or lighter; there is no point carrying wall you will never load. If the SDS for your liquid shows more than 1.5, look at the heavy duty version of this shell, rated 1.9, which we also list.

Run the liquid through our chemical compatibility guide before you order. Buyers of this tank most often check aluminum sulfate, ferric sulfate, magnesium chloride, urea solution and DEF. For a regulated liquid, see our guide to tank labels and signage and the Snyder Captor containment comparison.

Openings and what to confirm

1. Manway. An 18 inch threaded vented manway on top: room to fill from a pump line, drop in a level sensor and get inside to clean.
2. Outlet. No outlet fitting is listed for this tank. Tell us the drain size and valve you want at the cone and we confirm it with Snyder against the drawing before it ships.
3. Stand. Not included, and not optional: a cone cannot stand on its point. Our cone bottom stand compatibility matrix shows how stands pair with Snyder tanks. Tell us the clearance you need under the cone.
4. Level. A black wall hides the liquid line. Our level gauge selection guide helps you pick a gauge before the tank arrives.
5. Drawing. Snyder's drawing for this tank is linked under Technical Drawing on this page.

Shipping and receiving

The tank ships at freight class 300 from Snyder's Lincoln, NE plant, 142 by 142 by 215 inches at 2,850 lb. A 142 inch diameter is wider than a standard trailer, so this is a planned haul: walk the route into the site before you order and note the gate width, the last turn, overhead lines and soft ground. The freight cost estimator may route a tank this size to the phone; call 866-418-1777 with your ZIP and we price the lane with you. You will need a crane or a large forklift and a small crew to set it. Check 5340100N49 against the bill of lading, inspect the cone tip and the manway before signing, and make the first fill water with the tank sitting in its stand. That first fill also shows you whether the stand is level.
