Polypropylene Pickling Tanks
Polypropylene has excellent chemical resistance and is strong, lightweight and durable. It is compatible with high and low temperatures and has excellent thermal insulation properties. Polypropylene offers many advantages over other traditional metal cans such as steel, stainless steel and titanium. Benefits include seamless construction that offers excellent resistance to rust, corrosion, chemicals and fuel additives.
We design and manufacture polypropylene pickling tanks to handle a wide range of chemical process applications including anodizing, plating, pickling, fluxing, rinsing, degreasing, passivation and cleaning lines across a variety of industries. Our high quality pp cans have sharp construction and have safety features. The bottom corner of the pickling tank is designed with no welding arc rounded corners, which is completely leak-proof. Our pp pickling tanks are highly resistant to corrosion and are also unaffected by acids. Our polypropylene pickling tanks are 100% safe and easy to maintain. These qualities of our products have made us one of the leading Manufacturers of Polypropylene Pickling Tanks in India. Our technicians use the latest technology in programmable extrusion welding and automatic butt welding machines to fabricate polypropylene pickling tanks.
To make a pickling tank, you will need to follow these steps:
Choose a suitable container: Pickling tanks can be made from a variety of materials, Polypropylene plastic, fiberglass, stainless steel, and glass. Choose a material that is resistant to corrosion and can withstand the chemicals used in the pickling process.
Determine the size of the tank: The size of the tank will depend on the volume of material you plan to pickle. It’s important to have enough space in the tank to fully immerse the items you want to pickle.
Install a drain: A drain is essential for removing the pickling solution from the tank. Make sure the drain is located at the bottom of the tank and is large enough to allow the solution to flow out quickly.
Install a heating element: Pickling solution is typically heated to speed up the process. You can install a heating element, such as an immersion heater, to heat the solution. Be sure to follow all safety precautions when installing electrical equipment.
Add pickling solution: Once the tank is ready, you can add the pickling solution. The solution typically consists of an acid, such as vinegar or hydrochloric acid, and water. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for mixing the solution and use caution when handling the chemicals.
Immerse the items to be pickled: Carefully place the items to be pickled into the tank, making sure they are fully immersed in the solution.
Monitor the pickling process: The length of time required for pickling will vary depending on the type and thickness of the material being pickled. Monitor the process closely to ensure that the material is not over-pickled.
Rinse and neutralize the pickled items: Once the pickling process is complete, rinse the items thoroughly with water to remove any residual pickling solution. You may also need to neutralize the acid with a baking soda solution.
Clean the tank: After use, drain the pickling solution and thoroughly clean the tank to prevent corrosion and ensure it is ready for the next use.
Note: Pickling can be a hazardous process, so it’s important to take all necessary safety precautions, including wearing protective clothing and handling chemicals carefully.
Where can pickling tanks be used?
Pickling tanks are typically used in industries such as food processing, chemical, and pharmaceuticals. These tanks are designed for the pickling process, which involves immersing metal or other materials in an acidic solution to remove surface impurities, such as rust and scale.
In the food processing industry, pickling tanks are used to pickle vegetables and fruits, such as cucumbers, peppers, and olives. In the chemical industry, pickling tanks are used for surface treatment of metals, such as steel and iron, to remove rust and other impurities.
Pickling tanks are also used in the pharmaceutical industry to prepare certain drugs and medications. Additionally, they can be used in the dairy industry for making cheese, as well as in the brewing and distilling industry for fermentation and aging of alcohol.
Overall, pickling tanks are a versatile piece of equipment used in various industries for the processing and treatment of materials.
