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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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:

  1. Capacity Range: We provide AC storage tanks with different capacity ranges to accommodate varying project sizes and demands. Our tanks are available in capacities ranging from 10,000 to 32,000 gallons.
  2. Construction Material: Our AC storage tanks are constructed with high-quality materials in order to ensure durability and longevity. The tanks are built to withstand harsh environmental conditions.
  3. Heating System: Our tanks are equipped with a high efficiency coiled heating system to maintain the temperature of the stored AC within the desired range. This promotes optimal viscosity and performance during asphalt production. Our proven coiled system allows for maximum heat transfer and longevity.
  4. Safety Features: We prioritize safety and incorporate essential safety features in our AC storage tanks, including venting, overflow protection and liquid level indicators.
