Large XL (Flat Bottom) Grain Tanks
In the Ag market, Total Tank offers process tanks known as XL Grain
Tanks. These flat bottom grain tanks are industrial process tanks
that run up to 200’ diameter with storage capacities up to 1.7
million bushels. XL Grain tanks are an economical choice when
compared to other types of quality containment including
field-welded and slip-form concrete.
The Total Grain Tank Advantage:
(Note: Under 105’ diameter, corrugated construction is
predominant in flat bottom grain storage applications. Corrugated
tanks reflect marginal design standards and light weight
construction. At best, corrugated is recognized as an inexpensive
cover for grain piles and is not considered a process tank (tank
designed for continuous throughput). At USA, we only offer process
designs that are based on certified design parameters as recognized
by IBC, UBC, ASCE, etc. We do not offer corrugated construction.)
Hopper Tanks & Meal Storage
Total Tank supplies special hopper bottom tanks for meal storage
applications. We offer meal tanks that provide reliable flow with
the benefits of low maintenance. Gravity, functional mass flow
hopper designs and selection of the correct type of discharge feeder
are the keys to low maintenance meal storage that works.
The Total Tank Advantage:
An alternative design for meal storage utilizes a flat bottom
tank and a revolving screw or drag unloader. In this approach, a
mechanical unloader undercuts material across the base product zone
area. At Total Tank, we design these silos for mass flow loads and
off-center discharge. Based on the application, there are merits in
this approach with difficult to flow materials.
