Stainless Steel Caustic Tank | MSD-CT
Designed for caustic soda or sodium hydroxide.
All caustic tanks meet applicable safety and regulatory requirements.
We offer caustic tank services for repainting jobs requiring the removal of paint and component cleaning in order to have only the bare metal surface. Our caustic tanks are designed for caustic soda or sodium hydroxide. All tanks meet applicable safety and regulatory requirements.
Use our hot caustic tank to strip paint and clean components down to bare metal, preparing the components for repainting. As such, you can scale the system to your specifications.
We construct our tanks of 318 stainless steel and mount them into a frame made of 2’ x 4” rectangular ¼” wall tube. In all, the unit is approximately 3’-6” wide X 3’-6” high X 12’-0” long, while the main tank holds 500 gallons of caustic solution.
- The lid is hydraulically actuated open and closed.
- Two electric emersion heaters supply heat. Our unique design uses a double bottom reservoir that allows the heaters to be mounted in the bottom section. Additionally, the heaters then heat the water/antifreeze solution in this section and transfer the heat evenly to the caustic holding tank.
- 2” of Styrofoam insulate the tank preventing heat loss. Furthermore, the lid is also fitted with a high temperature silicone seal to minimize evaporation.
- The “V” bottom of the caustic tank collects the solids removed from the component surfaces. As such, the design concentrates the waste for easy flush out through the 1-1/2” cleaning port.
- The bottom surface is covered by a removable heavy steel grating to set components without damaging the tank.
- Lastly, the main tank maintains the liquid via a float mechanism. The level in the tank changes with large component insertion, part carry out and, to a lesser extent, evaporation over time.
