Tank Connection is an industry leader in dry bulk storage systems for the cement, minerals, lime, sand and aggregate markets.

In today’s market, dry bulk storage systems are available that remove the problems of yesterday. We specialize in dry bulk storage systems, prescribing the right tank design tailored for your requirements and the unique qualities of the material stored. Would mass flow (first-in/first out) product discharge minimize problems in your process stream? Does your stored material tend to bridge, segregate or degradate during fill or discharge cycles? If you have questions about dry bulk storage, Tank Connection has the answers.

We always welcome the opportunity to be of assistance to our customers and provide the following services:

• Tank specification development tailored for your requirement

• Prompt tank quotations including field installation

• Auxiliary equipment quotations including field installation

• Field installation services of customer supplied equipment

• Material testing services through an independent consultant

• Customer service on tank parts, retrofits, field repair & maintenance

We remedy the storage problems of the past by prescribing the correct variables of hopper slope, outlet size, outlet configurations, materials of construction & surface finish, active flow-aid devices, passive flow-aid devices, internal & external coatings systems, applicable codes and the correct flow type required for reliable material flow.

At Tank Connection, our reputation is built on success and we recognize our clients for that success. We are the solution people and we build project success. Give us a call on your next project and let us assist you in specifying practical, cost efficient storage that works.

Bolted Smoothwall - The tank of choice for the storage of dry bulk materials. Hopper gravity discharge is available in a variety of designs including skirted tanks, drive-through skirted tanks, tanks on structures, tanks on load cells and tanks elevated on structural legs. Hopper capacities range from 900 cubic feet up to 150,000 cubic feet. Flat bottom capacities range up to 2 million cubic feet of storage.

Shop Welded Tanks – The tank of choice for the storage of dry bulk materials up to capacities of 10,000 cubic feet. Typical over the road sizes range from 8’-14’ diameter with lengths up to 85’, as one piece units. Shop welded tank construction is also the product of choice in the storage of food grade products.

Drive-through Skirt Tanks – The most economical choice for truck load-out applications vs. tanks elevated on structural steel. Bolted tank capacities range from 1000-75,000 cubic feet. Field-welded capacities range from 10,000-200,000 cubic feet.

Field-Welded Tanks - Available in API 620 & API 650 designs, the field-welded tank remains the product of choice in select dry bulk storage applications. Typical applications include: storage requirements that require heavier tank designs than bolted smoothwall tanks offer, storage capacities in excess of 70,000 cubic feet when hopper bottom discharge is required, power market, heavy and abrasive bulk material applications. Quality field-weld fabrication is evidenced by following code requirements including radiograph examination, etc.

Stainless Steel Storage Tanks – Tank construction is available in 304, 316 & 316L materials with various polished surface profiles. SS construction should be evaluated when product purity, flow inducement and/or chemical attack issues exists with the stored material. Stainless construction is the high price storage approach.

Aluminum Storage Tanks – Quality containment (fabrication satisfies ASME Section VIII requirements) required in select food, chemical and petrochem applications. A variety of alloy designations are available with 5052 H32 material being the most common and versatile in dry bulk storage applications. Shop welded aluminum tanks are available up to 12,000 cubic feet capacity in one-piece construction. Quality welded aluminum silos are an economical alternative to coated carbon steel tanks.

TC Gravity Blend Tanks – Blend silos are utilized in the plastics market by producers, compounders and processors to reduce variables in the process stream. Blend tanks smooth out plastic resin variables associated with melt index, color variation and particle size.
