Standard storage tanks or tailor made for your product and process
We understand that every storage tank is different. Therefor we design our buffer tanks tailormade for you, so you can be sure that the tank will suit to your product and process best. Options we can include into your tank are:
Finishing levels
As a standard, Gpi ensures a high-finishing level. For some applications, such as in the food industry or even in the pharmaceutical industry, specific requirements are applicable. As a standard, food tanks are produced with an internal roughness of Ra 0.8, but if desired we can also produce tanks with much smoother (and therefore more hygienic) inner walls.
