Industrial tanks

With a volume of 5,000 litres, this product is the largest, blown industrial tank in Europe. Our tanks also stand out from products of our competition thanks to their high level of resistance to most chemicals and extremely long service life. Properties that you can rely on 100 percent with WERIT!

Thanks to a simpler manufacturing process and low material costs, storage tanks made of highly purified (HD)PE plastic are much more cost-effective and long-lasting than traditional stainless steel tanks.

This is where physics comes into play. Due to the so-called hydrostatic pressure, also known as gravitational pressure, a liquid exerts pressure on the container walls as a result of gravity. The tank would expand outwards significantly if filled. In order to prevent this, we fit a large number of our industrial tanks with galvanised steel straps.

Yes, as with every other plastic, our plastics used contract when cold. However, this does not have any impairment on the function or safety of our industrial tanks.

Yes, as with every other plastic, our plastics used expand when warm. However, this does not have any impairment on the function or safety of our storage tanks.

The material (HDPE plastic) that we use guarantees an unrestricted use of our products down to a temperature of -20° C. By the way, the permissible maximum temperature is at 40°C, and may even exceed 60°C for a short period. 

No, industrial tanks from WERIT are not oxidising, but are nevertheless not fire-proof.

Please note that our industrial tanks are blow-moulded tanks. These may be operated only at normal pressure! Filling these tanks at over or under-pressure may lead to dangerous accidents as well as damage to the tanks!

This question requires a bit more information in order to be answered properly.  To determine whether a WERIT plastic tank is suitable for a specific filling media or not, upon presentation of a safety data sheet, we can make a check for you in individual cases. For this purpose, please contact one of our employees.

By using one of our double-walled safety tanks, you can in most cases do away with drip pans, if these were previously required by law for single-walled tanks. In many cases, this means that our customers can benefit from much more economical use of their space, thereby saving them money.

You can transport all of our tanks properly to their storage place using a forklift or on a pallet.  As our industrial tanks are not designed for transporting filling media, tanks cannot be transported after filling.

In general, we recommend that our industrial tanks are only used for storage and not for transport. There is a wide range of Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) products available for transport. We will be happy to help find the best solution for you. 

Naturally we also deliver directly to private end consumers. Our industrial tanks are often used on private properties as rainwater barrels, fresh water tanks, or hot oil tanks.

We only sell new, unused industrial and storage tanks. This means you are not at risk buying defective or contaminated containers. Nobody can perceive what an industrial tank has been used for, or under what conditions, and with which chemicals it was filled – and that could result in a reaction or contamination of your medium. For this reason, we currently do not offer used industrial tanks.

Unfortunately we do not sell our industrial tanks directly to private persons. In this case, please contact a national wholesaler for domestic engineering in your region.

In general, the law does not stipulate any maintenance or inspection intervals. However, many of our customers have internal quality assurance processes in the scope of which inspections on storage tanks at specific intervals are carried out. We do not specify any binding maintenance or inspection intervals.

The law stipulates a minimum volume of a drip pan of 10 per cent of the volume of the relevant industrial or storage tank. If you want to use a single-walled tank, please also allow for space for the pan. 

By the way: double-walled safety tanks make the use of drip pans superfluous in most cases.

Since we manufacture your desired storage tanks individually, you have the option to have of fitting tanks with all volumes with a manhole. Simply get in touch with our customer service team to clarify the details.

No, unfortunately not. Our storage, industrial and safety tanks can be ordered in black and natural colour – both standard and custom models. We do not offer special colours.

No. In order to consistently guarantee the same level of safety, reliability, durability and long service life for the temporary or fixed storage of pastes and liquids, special media and hazardous materials, we manufacture all our industrial tanks of the same high-quality material. This means you can always be certain that your tank will be resistant to many chemicals, is shock and break-proof, and masters temperature fluctuations reliably. This is also attested by the DIN EN ISO 9001 certification.

In addition to a wide large of accessories, we also offer a wide selection of spare parts for older industrial tanks. Please talk to our customer service team – we will work together to find the right part for properly maintaining your defective tank.
