A plastic water tank making machine is used to manufacture water storage tanks from plastics using various molding techniques. Here are some key details:
- These machines are used to produce cylindrical or rectangular water tanks made of materials like polyethylene, polypropylene, PVC etc.
- Rotational molding, blow molding and injection molding processes are commonly used to make plastic water tanks.
- In rotational molding, plastic powder is filled into a hollow mold which is then slowly rotated and heated in an oven to fuse the powder to the mold shape.
- Blow molding uses extruded plastic parisons which are enclosed in molds and inflated under pressure to form the tank shape.
- In injection molding, plastic is injected under high pressure into a mold to form the desired tank design.
- Molds are made of aluminum or steel and machined based on the tank dimensions and volume.
- Tanks can range from 100 liters to over 10,000 liters capacity for household or industrial water storage usage.
- Tanks have inlet and outlet ports molded or cut into the plastic. Access hatches may also be provided.
- Rotationally molded tanks have seamless, uniform wall thickness while other processes can make irregular shaped tanks.
- Advanced machines allow for temperature control, speed control and automation for high volume production.
- Plastic tanks are lightweight, corrosion resistant and durable compared to metal tanks.In summary, plastic water tank making machines use various molding techniques to manufacture seamless, custom designed tanks with no leakage or corrosion issues.
