Agricultural containers

Agricultural tanks made of plastic are a practical, cost-effective solution for business development in the agricultural sector. The products consist of a body, a neck, inlet and outlet pipes. They outperform their metal counterparts in terms of price, weight and ease of maintenance. Modern plastic products are characterised by increased strength and resistance to mechanical damage.

Agricultural tanks: purpose

Agricultural tanks are designed for storing and transporting drinking water, UAN fertilisers, water towers, irrigation, water supply and sewage systems. Storage tanks are used for collecting rainwater, storing chemicals and wastewater generated in the process of processing agricultural products and caring for farm animals. Other areas of application:

• storage of crops;
• storage of fuel for fuelling agricultural machinery;
• application of fertilisers, seeds and insecticides to the soil.

Grain, juice, wine and other alcoholic beverages, vegetable oil and honey are stored in plastic tanks. In agriculture, containers for sprayers, animal and bird feeders, pallets, and hoppers for seeders are needed.

Agricultural containers: advantages

Plastic containers for transporting water and UAN are lightweight, which makes it possible to use trucks with a smaller carrying capacity. At the same time, fuel costs are reduced, which increases the company’s profitability. The light weight of the plastic tanks makes loading, installation and dismantling easier. Other advantages:

• Resistance to corrosion and mould, rot, UV radiation and other external factors.
• Versatility. Agricultural tanks are suitable for solving a variety of business problems, including the arrangement of irrigation facilities, fuel and fertiliser storage.
• No need for expensive maintenance. Plastic tanks do not require priming, regular treatment with anti-corrosion compounds, and do not need to be painted.
• Durability. The service life of plastic products exceeds 60 years.
• Chemical inertness. The material does not interact with the stored contents, does not change the taste, smell and properties of water, food and chemicals.
• Resistance to temperature extremes – high-quality polymers do not crack at low temperatures.
• Easy maintenance. No dirt stays on the smooth surface. The inner and outer walls can be cleaned with a brush and household detergents.
• Maintainability. In case of mechanical damage, it is possible to restore the integrity of the structure.

Plastic for agriculture complies with sanitary and hygienic standards, is safe for human and animal health, and has no negative impact on the environment.

Agricultural tanks: types, characteristics

Plastic tanks differ in size, shape, colour and equipment. Depending on the purpose, they are equipped with flanges, nozzles, sensors, dispensers, and automation systems. Monolithic plastic structures are free of welds, which provides increased strength. Products made by rotational moulding are resistant to vibrations and shocks. Main characteristics:

• Operation at temperatures from -30°C to +50°C.
• Yield strength (permissible stress) – 17-22 MPa.
• The degree of resistance to deforming loads is 700-1200 MPa.

A plastic tank for farmers made of impact-resistant plastic is the best solution for transporting agricultural products, fuel, water, and fertilisers. A mandatory stage of production is hydraulic testing, which involves checking for leaks. Various installation options are available – above-ground and underground. Plastic is not destroyed by contact with soil and moisture.
