Siemens VAI has the capabilities to design and supply polypropylene equipment for new process lines and to replace existing tanks, covers, exhaust systems,
etc that are made from traditional materials.
Polypropylene has become the material of choice to replace steel tanks with rubber and brick linings. This material is corrosion resistant throughout, is tough, can be
welded into many configurations, and has similar or better life with less maintenance. No additional linings are required. Tanks can be designed to operate at temperatures
up to 100° C with most common pickling, cleaning, and plating solutions.
Benefits:
- No exterior maintenance
- Little or no interior maintenance
- Shorter installation time
- Lower installed cost
- Lower operating cost over life of equipment
- Lightweight resulting in lighter support structure
- Improved working environment
- Safer plant operations
Our principal products are polypropylene tanks and covers for carbon steel and stainless steel continuous pickling and process lines. Other products include batch tanks for various
shapes; electrolytic tanks and cells for cleaning, plating, and coating; tanks, chambers, and cells for metal finishing applications; and storage and circulation tanks for corrosive solutions.
We service the mill equipment builders by providing the design engineering and fabrication of tanks to convert their steel strip processes to polypropylene equipment. This service reduces
their engineering requirements and assures that the highest quality of polypropylene process equipment is provided.
Siemens VAI services steel mills around the world by replacing their existing pickling tanks with custom designed polypropylene tanks. We can replace one
or more of the pickling tanks at a time. We also include conversion of steering roll chambers and rinse tanks to polypropylene construction. Process improvements and upgrades to other equipment
and controls are also available.
Siemens VAI has world wide commissioning, installation, and on-site repair service for all of the polypropylene equipment that we supply.
Applications:
- Shallow tanks and covers for turbulent pickling lines
- Deep tanks and covers for catenary type pickling lines
- Tanks for push-pull pickling lines
- Electrolytic sodium sulfate pickling tanks for stainless lines
- Electrolytic vertical plating and cleaning cells
- Batch tanks for rod, wire, bars, tubes, etc
- Fume exhaust scrubbers and components
- Chambers and tanks for parts washer systems
- Storage and circulation tanks for corrosive solutions
- Many other applications for corrosive resistant equipment
