Snyder Industries 330 Gallon HDPE Stackable IBC Tote Tank

Three hundred and thirty gallons for a line that runs a shift at a time

Start with the shift, because 330 gallons is a shift-sized number. This tote is bought by an operation whose consumption is steady and predictable enough that one container covers a run and gets swapped or refilled between runs: a finishing or plating line drawing pre-treat and rinse chemistry, a beverage or food plant issuing sanitiser and cleaner through a shift, a machine shop on a central coolant supply, a treatment works feeding a dosing pump around the clock, a commercial laundry running detergent and softener. The job looks the same every day and the tote is judged on two things: whether the valve and the fill connection are where the operator can work them, and whether it runs out before the shift does. On the first count this listing arrives with a named ball valve and a named bulkhead fitting rather than a bare boss to adapt, and at 61 inches tall the lid is still within reach from the floor for most people. On the second, 330 gallons is a useful step above the tote tier below it on a plan that is no larger, which in practice is the difference between one swap a week and two. Set it on a flat, continuous, level bearing surface carrying the whole 46 by 45 inch plan: a slab, a solid deck, or rack beams sized for it. Not two pallets pushed together, not a cracked board under a corner. At 268 pounds empty this is forks or a pallet jack rather than a two-person lift, and the loaded case is what the floor or the rack has to answer to: 2,752 pounds of water, 5,229 pounds at the rating. Check that against the rack beam rating before anything goes up. The name says stackable and this sheet publishes no stacking load at all, so this page gives you none; if totes are going on totes at your site, get the condition confirmed in writing for this exact part number. Size the tier against your real turnover in the tank sizing calculator, take the freeboard from the tank sizing guide, and where drums are what this replaces, the container versus tank guide sets the tiers out in order.

Five containers between 300 and 350 gallons, two of them steel

Four of these hold 330 gallons in polyethylene and they are laid out along one axis: height. The Excalibur SII-6510101B96002 is the low one at 52.125 inches and much the lightest at 194 pounds, but it pays for that in plan, spreading to 47 inches square. This tote is next at 61 inches on a 46 by 45 inch plan at 268 pounds. SII-6610056B97204, the red one, is two and a half inches taller at 63.5 inches and a pound lighter at 267. The Ultratainer 6840000B97202 is the tall one at 70 inches and 335 pounds on a 46 inch square. So if the ceiling, the mezzanine or the roller door is your limit, work down that list; if floor is the limit, work up it. This tote sits deliberately in the middle, which is why it is the one most sites can drop in without measuring twice, and its named ball valve and bulkhead fitting are the practical reason to pick it over the red listing beside it at almost identical weight. The last two rows are steel vessels and are here because they land either side of 330 gallons: 6984000B51303 is a 300 gallon 304 stainless supertainer at 41.25 inches tall and 424 pounds, and 6984300B32224 is a 350 gallon carbon steel supertainer at 47.25 inches and 469 pounds, both on a 42 by 48 inch plan. Both are much lower and much heavier than any polyethylene tote here, and this page makes no polyethylene, resin or specific gravity statement about either. Note the sheet spells three of these parts without the prefix the rest carry, and we spell them the way it does.

Two rows look the same? The difference is the wall; call 866-418-1777 with the liquid and we will say which, or ask for a quote on both.

The ball valve, the bulkhead inlet and the pump under them

• The discharge path: a 2 inch ball valve at the base of a 61 inch body. A quarter turn opens it fully, which is what you want on a fitting an operator works several times a shift, and the height means there is useful head behind it for most of the draw-down.
• The pump: mount it below the valve so it holds prime as the tote empties, and take the suction through a short, straight, falling run. On a 61 inch tank the last few inches of liquid are where a poorly placed pump starts sucking air, and every elbow you added at installation gets paid for there.
• Isolation and support: full-flow shutoff hard against the valve, then a flexible connector, then rigid pipe. A meter, filter, reel or filling gun goes on its own bracket off the rack or the wall; the fitting boss carries liquid, not hardware.
• The inlet: a 2 inch PP female NPT bulkhead fitting, which is a closed fill connection. Filling through it keeps the lid shut, keeps the operator off the top of the tote and keeps what is in the air out of the product.
• Access: a 6 inch threaded vented lid. Six inches takes a hose, a wand and a dip tube and does not take an arm, so decide the wash-out method before deciding what goes in. Keep the vent path clear whenever the pump is drawing.
• Limits: 120 F / 48 C and a specific gravity rating of 1.9. That is what this sheet publishes, and there is no warranty term on it.

Name the liquid when you order, because the valve seat, the gasket and the bulkhead material are chosen from the chemistry and not from the fitting size. Where the product is regulated, what goes under the tote is a separate purchase and a separate argument: the RCRA secondary containment guide covers the containment, the leak detection options and the inspection cadence, and the Captor containment comparison sets the contained polyethylene route against the steel one on the terms that decide it.

Bulk buying on a site that still issues in batches

The reason a plant lands on 330 gallons is almost always delivery frequency rather than storage. It buys in bulk because the per-gallon price and the handling both improve, and it still issues the product a pail or a dosing pot at a time because that is how the process works. The tote is the hinge between those two facts, and the thing that decides whether it is the right hinge is not the container price: it is annual volume, turnover frequency, the hazard class of what is inside, and how much floor the whole arrangement takes once access and containment are counted. Work that through properly in the drum versus tote versus bulk tank break-even analysis before a site standardises, because the expensive mistake is buying the tier above or below the one your turnover actually supports.

Rated liquids and the fittings to order with them

The resin carries a rating for each liquid below at the concentration shown, and each line names the wetted fitting and gasket to specify. Confirm the service you actually run on the chemical page or in the chemical compatibility database before ordering.

• DEF
• Urea Solution
• Hydrochloric Acid
• Sulfuric Acid
• Hydrofluoric Acid
• Hydrogen Peroxide
• Phosphoric Acid
• Sodium Hypochlorite
• Peracetic Acid
• Ferric Chloride
• Aluminum Sulfate

Sixty-one inches tall, shipped square, out of Lincoln

Nebraska is the state on this sheet and Lincoln, Nebraska is the plant. The freight class is given as LTL under NMFC 156600-03, with a shipping size of 46 inches long by 45 inches wide by 61 inches high and a ship weight of 269 pounds, which is a compact pallet that blocks well and stands up through a standard dock door. Price the lane to your ZIP with the freight cost estimator; the listed price is before freight. Unload from under the base on forks or a pallet jack, never by the lid and never by the valve. Set it in its finished position before anything is plumbed, fill it with clean water on the level, and hold the 2,752 pound load long enough to read the valve joint, the bulkhead and the lid seal in daylight. Then drain it through the valve and watch how it behaves in the last few inches, because that is the part of the draw-down your pump arrangement either handles or does not. Record which part number went into which position the day it lands, so the second tote can be ordered without anyone measuring the first one again. Mark the vent and the outlet on the outside of the shell so nobody caps the wrong one in the dark.
