Description
Industrial HDPE Pickling Tanks Manufacturer in Gujarat
Nikunj Fibre Glass is a leading manufacturer and supplier of HDPE Pickling Tanks (High-Density Polyethylene Acid Pickling Baths) based in Vapi, Gujarat. Designed specifically for wire pickling, steel tube descaling, hot dip galvanizing, and electroplating plants, our HDPE pickling tanks provide an impermeable, impact-tough solution for continuous hot hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4) immersion.
Fabricated from heavy-gauge virgin PE-100 sheets and reinforced externally with solid steel structural beams encapsulated in HDPE profiles, our tanks withstand heavy coil drops, intense crane agitation, and temperatures up to 80°C.
Key Features & Advantages
- Zero Acid Attack: Immune to aggressive pickling acids, pickling fumes, and acidic bath additives.
- Encapsulated Steel Reinforcement: Heavy structural steel box channels are completely encased in welded HDPE, providing immense load support while preventing external acid corrosion.
- Impact & Abrasion Toughness: High elasticity of polyethylene absorbs heavy wire coil impacts and crane bumps without cracking or chipping.
- Fume Extraction Lip Hoods: Custom integrated lateral rim extraction lip hoods to capture acid vapors directly at the bath surface.
- Bottom V-Sloped Floor: V-sloped or inclined bottom floor facilitating rapid sludge drainage and periodic acid bath cleanouts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: How do you prevent sidewall bulging in long pickling tanks?
We calculate sidewall reinforcement spacing per DVS 2205 guidelines and install heavy vertical and horizontal structural steel stiffener beams encapsulated in thermoplastic profiles.
Q2: Can bottom heating coils or steam spargers be installed?
Yes, we provide internal PTFE or PVDF immersion heating coil supports and submerged acid recirculation sparger pipes.
