Arvind Anticor
Limited
Arvind Anticor Limited 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 tanks are constructed from
polypropylene thermoplastic, a material
that is highly corrosion resistant. In
addition, the tanks are 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 arrangement, and top lid
cover.
