At Motion Engineering, we specialize in providing you with a high-quality AC storage tank and tank systems for various applications. Partner with us to meet your Liquid AC storage tank needs and ensure efficient and reliable operations. Below, we explain their purpose, the common types, and the specs for our AC (asphalt cement) storage tanks.
Overview of Liquid AC Storage Tanks
Liquid AC storage tanks are essential components in the asphalt and bitumen industries, designed to store and maintain liquid asphalt cement (AC) at optimal temperatures. These tanks play a crucial role in ensuring a steady supply of AC for asphalt production and paving processes. Motion Engineering understands the importance of reliable and efficient AC storage as part of your complete asphalt plant equipment lineup, and we offer a wide range of AC storage tanks to meet your tank farm’s diverse requirements.
AC Storage Tank Types
We provide different types of AC storage tanks, both new and used, to cater to various needs and preferences. Our range of AC storage tanks includes:
- Vertical Storage Tanks: Vertical liquid AC storage emulsion tanks are insulated and designed to efficiently store liquid AC in a vertical orientation. They are ideal for limited space areas and offer easy access for maintenance and inspections.
- Horizontal Storage Tanks: Horizontal storage tanks are insulated storage tanks, suitable for larger storage capacities, and are often used in bitumen plants. These tanks are designed to maximize storage capacity while minimizing the overall footprint.
- Calibration Tanks Calibration tanks allow for the storing of specific amounts of material before halting when at capacity.
Specs for Our Liquid AC Storage Tank Equipment
At Motion Engineering, we offer AC storage tanks with various specifications to meet your specific requirements. Our AC storage tanks feature:
