Glass Fused Tanks Supplied And Installed
A glass fused tank is one of the best investments you can make. Make no mistake—glass fused tanks are not just used in large aquatic facilities, but also in manufacturing plants for chemical and water storage or silos. We at ATM Tanks specialise in fabricating glass-fused tanks. Today, we will show you what glass fused tanks are, what their benefits are, and why ATM Tanks is your premier choice for this tank in Australia.
What are glass fused tanks?
Glass fuse tanks are just like ordinary tanks, but instead of using common tank liners inside and outside, glass is used as an alternative. With this kind of tank, glass is melted and bonded with the steel. In this bonding, the best qualities of glass and steel are put to work together. For one, you get the strength of the steel. Second, the glass prevents corrosion outside and inside the tank.
A glass fused tank does not mean that you have a large aquarium where the inside of the tank is visible, but you can also do it that way. The issue with that kind of fusing, however, is that the glass may leak. Most glass fused tanks today are designed in such a way that the glass covers the surface of the entire tank, and the steel is hidden inside. It is the steel that provides the support structure and strength, but it is the glass that covers the entire surface area.
Glass fused tanks are used mainly in silos where chemicals are stored. For some companies, they also use glass fused tanks even if they only store water. These are companies where water purity is of utmost importance, like companies that sell bottled water.
Benefits of glass fused tanks
Now, let us take a look at the benefits of using glass-fused tanks.
- Long life span – glass fused tanks are protected from the usual wear and tear that happens with tanks. Because the outside and inside are lined with glass, the steel inside does not get corroded. As such, the steel does not rust, and it is going to stand the test of time.
- Less maintenance – many tanks that use bladders and linings get leaks. Overtime, epoxy materials used in tank liners get eroded. As such, you are going to need repairs as time passes by. Glass tanks do not need a lot of maintenance.
- Flexibility – with flexibility, what we mean is that you can store practically anything in here. The glass is safe for any kind of chemical or liquid. It does not react differently to different types of materials that you store. Another flexibility benefit is that the glass and steel could both be remodeled. It is far easier to expand the tank to make it bigger, as we only have to fabricate extension materials and then fuse them together.
- High resistance – a glass fused tank has a high resistance to different weather conditions. It is also highly resistant to different types of media. What this brings to the table is less damage to your material, and you will also spend less on repairs, cleaning, and maintenance.
Glass fused tanks are the tanks of the future. They are easy to build; they last long, and we can build them in any size and shape. With a glass-fused tank, you have many height and diameter options. All of these depend on your capacity requirement.
