ODM 20ft Tank Container for Alcohol Manufacturer, Quotes

Tank containers have good sealing properties and can effectively prevent cargo leakage. This sealing property plays a vital role in avoiding environmental pollution when transporting liquid chemicals or maintaining the freshness and quality of food and beverages when transporting them.

Product Description

Product Introduction
The tank body of a tank container comes in various shapes, the most common being cylindrical and oval. The cylindrical design offers superior internal pressure resistance, making it ideal for transporting high-pressure liquids or gases such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and compressed natural gas (CNG). The oval design optimizes storage capacity within standard dimensions and significantly reduces the surge impact generated by liquid sloshing during road transit or marine shipment.
Tank materials are strictly engineered according to the chemical properties of the cargo. For standard non-corrosive liquids, including drinking water and cooking oil, sanitary stainless steel grades such as 304 or 316 are standard, providing superior hygiene and corrosion resistance. For aggressive and corrosive substances such as acid and alkali solutions, dedicated protective linings—including rubber, high-performance plastics, or glass fiber—are integrated to reinforce long-term chemical durability.
Technical Specifications
External Dimensions (mm) 6,058 × 2,438 × 2,591 mm
Effective Volume (m³) 18 – 24 m³
Maximum Gross Weight 34,000 kg / 74,960 lbs
Key Advantages
Efficient Transportation

Standard 20-foot tank containers boast capacities between 20 and 24 cubic meters, significantly outperforming conventional drum handling. When shipping liquid chemicals, this higher payload reduces the number of round trips, driving down logistics costs and maximizing transit efficiency.

Safe & Reliable Operation

Units are outfitted with industrial safety mechanisms including pressure-relief safety valves and emergency shut-off valves. Safety valves release excess pressure automatically to avoid overpressure hazards, while emergency shut-off valves seal liquid/gas pipelines instantly to prevent leaks during incidents.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q How often should the exterior of a tank container be inspected?

External inspections should be conducted on a routine schedule—recommended at least once every month. Checks should identify surface dents, structural cracks, deformation, and corrosion spots across the outer shell and frame.

Q What is the proper cleaning procedure after unloading high-viscosity liquids?

After unloading high-viscosity goods such as heavy oil or syrup, residual product can accumulate on the inner surface. A dedicated internal inspection is required, followed by specialized washing equipment and chemical cleaning agents to strip residues and prevent corrosion.

Q How do I determine the right tank container size for my shipment?

Begin by calculating the total cargo volume, then match this against the container's effective volume (18–24 m³). Finally, verify that total loaded weight aligns with transport chassis and regulatory road weight limits (up to 34,000 kg gross weight).

Q What built-in safety mechanisms prevent accidents and leaks?

Tank containers feature automatic pressure safety valves that vent safely if tank pressure exceeds specified thresholds, alongside emergency shut-off valves capable of immediately stopping transfer lines during hazardous emergencies.

Q What tank materials are recommended for corrosive acid and alkali cargoes?

While standard non-corrosive cargo uses 304 or 316 stainless steel, highly corrosive chemicals require specialized protective interior linings such as industrial rubber, engineered plastics, or glass fiber to preserve structural containment.

Q What are the practical differences between cylindrical and oval tank designs?

Cylindrical tanks provide superior internal pressure tolerance, making them suited for high-pressure gases like LPG and CNG. Oval tanks optimize volumetric space and help dampen cargo surge during transit.
