Arvind Anticor Limited, India, is a
manufacturer and exporter of acid pickling
tanks made from extremely corrosion
resistant polypropylene thermoplastic. The
company’s acid pickling tanks are custom
designed according to size and weight of
load such as tube, pipe, wire coils, bars,
rods and structural steel.
Anticor PP tanks are used for pickling,
degreasing, electro-plating, rinsing, fluxing,
anodising, passivation, pre- and post-
treatment and metal surface treatment.
The tank is constructed from polypropylene
thermoplastic, a material that is highly
corrosion resistant. In addition, the tank
is housed in a steel structure frame for
mechanical reinforcement, covered with
fibreglass.
The tanks are designed and engineered on
the ‘Rita’ tank building software module. All
areas of design, calculation, costing and
calculating PP tanks are geared towards
maximising the benefits of advanced
material over conventional alternatives such
as brick lining and fibreglass lining.
Benefits include cost saving, impact
resistance, corrosion resistance, mobility,
minimal weight, leak proofing, environment-
friendly, fume free, increased longevity and
zero maintenance.
Anticor tanks are designed, manufactured
and tested according to German Welding
Association DVS 2205 for safety and
longevity. The tanks are manufactured with
certified life of chemical resistance.
Anticor’s facilities are equipped with butt
fusion welding, hot gas extrusion welding
technology and hydro-thermo radius
forming technology.
In addition to butt fusion technology, Anticor
has developed radius instead of a right
angle corner at the bottom of tank. This
effectively reduces the weld joint at the
welded corner radius, thus providing sound
mechanical strength. Anticor weld joints are
tested as per German Welding Association
DVS 2203.
The company’s tank fabrication technology
offers better performance, higher efficiency,
higher productivity, lower rejection, zero
failure and an environmentally friendly
atmosphere.
Welding quality is confirmed by a 3-point
bend test, and a specimen seam is
subjected to a test of tensile and impact
resistance properties. Leakage testing
is carried out prior to dispatch by hydro,
vacuum and spark test.
Anticor pickling tanks are supplied with
accessories such as nozzles, heating/
cooling coils, integral suction ducting for
fume exhaust, integral slope for drain, lifting
mechanism, and top lid cover.
