Acid pickling tank offers extreme corrosion resistance
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, 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, 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
arrangement, and top lid cover.
