Snyder Industries 330 Gallon Plastic Open Top Batch Storage Tank in White

Where an open top earns its place

An open top tank is for work done from above: a mixer clamped on the rim, a batch made up by hand from bags and jugs, a dip tank for parts or produce, a quench or rinse tank, a brine tank, a holding tank one pump draws from while another fills it. At 42 by 42 inches this one fits through a double door and against a wall, and 63 inches of height puts the rim where a person on a short step can reach the bottom with a brush, which is the practical limit for an open tank you clean by hand. Set it on a flat, level, continuous floor; a tall open tank full of liquid is top-heavy, and where it sits on a slab outdoors our concrete pad sizing guide explains how to size the pad. Rural sites sometimes use open tanks as a fire water reserve; our fire water reservoir guide explains why a closed tank usually serves that job better.

Polyethylene handles water, brine, most fertilizers and many common chemicals; check anything else against the liquid before you order and call us if you are unsure. Nothing heavier than 1.9 times water and nothing warmer than 120 F. An open tank evaporates, takes in dust and rain, and fumes into the room, so if the liquid needs to stay clean or contained, look at the covered and closed tanks we stock instead.

What to check before you buy

1. The top. Fully open at 42 inches, with no lid installed. If you want a loose cover to keep debris out, tell us when you order.
2. The drain. Snyder's data for this part number does not list a drain fitting, so tell us the size and position you want and we will confirm what the tank comes with before it ships. A flat bottom tank keeps the last inch or so of a batch unless the drain sits at the floor; if a complete drain matters, the dish bottom version linked below is the one to look at.
3. The mixer. A rim-mounted mixer puts its weight and torque on the lip of the tank. Keep it small and well supported, and ask us before you hang anything heavy on the rim.
4. Drawing. Snyder's drawing for 57500VOT-45 is linked under Technical Drawing on this page and shows the profile and the base.
