3,000-gallon white cone bottom tank built for full-drain mixing and batch processing. Manufactured by Snyder Industries from high-density linear polyethylene (HDLPE) rated to handle liquids up to 15.8 pounds per gallon. FDA approved for contact with potable water, ensuring safe storage for drinking water and food-grade liquids.
The 3000 Gallon 30 Degree Plastic Cone Bottom Tank is designed for chemical processors, water treatment plants, and agricultural operations requiring complete tank drainage. At 3,000 gallons, this cone bottom tank is sized for batch processing, chemical mixing, and applications where complete drainage between cycles is non-negotiable. The cone geometry eliminates the dead volume that flat-bottom tanks leave behind.
Constructed from high-density linear polyethylene (HDLPE) using a single-piece rotational molding process that eliminates seams, weld lines, and potential leak points. The 1.9 specific gravity rating means this tank is built with significantly heavier wall sections than a standard water tank — necessary to safely contain liquids weighing up to 15.8 pounds per gallon. That extra wall thickness is not optional when you are storing aggressive industrial chemicals. Translucent white walls allow visual level monitoring without opening the tank and reflect sunlight to keep contents cooler. Maximum operating temperature is 120, with UV stabilizers compounded directly into the resin for outdoor service life.
This tank measures 120 inches tall with a 95-inch diameter, requiring 49.2 square feet of level ground. Empty weight is 709 pounds. At full capacity with a 1.9 SG liquid, expect approximately 48,247 pounds on the foundation. Requires an engineered reinforced concrete foundation designed by a structural professional for the full loaded weight. Must be installed on the manufacturer-supplied or compatible stand rated for the full loaded weight. Never rest a cone bottom tank directly on its apex.
This tank ships without pre-installed fittings, giving you full flexibility to position inlet and outlet connections exactly where your plumbing layout requires. Use polyethylene-compatible bulkhead fittings for all penetrations. The 18" lid opening provides ample access for interior inspection, cleaning, and installation of float switches, level sensors, or submersible pumps. Install schedule 80 PVC or stainless steel piping on all NPT connections. Full-port ball valves, expansion loops for thermal movement, and proper pipe support are essential at this scale.
