Onion Storage Tank
Onion tanks, also known as collar tanks or bladder tanks, are frameless, self–supporting tanks with the shape of an onion. These tanks come in handy for the storage of water and other liquids in an emergency where tanks are needed within a very short time. These tanks are easy to set up and can be ready for use in about 10 or 15 minutes. Cintec’s onion tanks are equipped with an innovative self-raising and floating collar mode of closed-cell foam for easy filling. This makes the tank ideal for emergencies like fire fighting, disaster relief, spill containment, military operations, and many more.
Users can easily empty and neatly fold the tanks for storage and transport to and from the site. Though flexible, these tanks are made with heavy-duty fabrics for durability, even under tough climatic conditions. If you are worried about water contamination from outside sources, you can choose an onion tank with a top cover made of strong material.
Why choose Cintec tanks?
Cintec is proud to be one of the top manufacturers of onion tanks worldwide. They manufacture their tanks using the highest quality materials to ensure the strength and durability of each tank. Since their target market is field operatives, they carefully consider important factors like how the tank will be transported, set up, and its day-to-day use. Cintec also uses high-frequency welding methods and tried-and-tested seam designs to ensure that each onion tank from our factory can hold a significant weight of any liquid without the risk of seepage.
Due to the wide variety of materials, you should choose a tank made using a material best suited for the liquid you want to store. For example, a collapsible tank for drinking water should have a black layer in between the layers of the construction materials to block UV lights and prevent the growth of algae in the stored water.
