Product Description

The sectional tank range was designed using the latest and Finite Element Analysis Methods. The design of each panel was modelled using the latest finite element analysis method. The computer model allowed subtle changes to be made in thickness and geometry of the panels such that stresses and deflections could be minimized prior to final design and tool manufacture.

Product Features

All materials used have been rigorously tested for suitability with potable water. All non metallic materials including adhesives carry current approval by the Water Research Centre., U.K. They have also been thoroughly tested for mechanical properties and long term degradation at various laboratories and proved with actual field performance.  These tests form the basis of the production Quality Control testing.

AquaSTOR panels are hot pressed in a 750T Hydraulic press at a pressure of 100 to 200 Kg/Cm2 and a curing temperature of 130⁰C to 150⁰C using GLASS REINFORCED POLYESTER (GRP)-SHEET MOULDING COMPOUND (SMC). The AquaSTOR hot pressed panels possess high strength to weight ratio, they are weather resistant, non toxic and do not contaminate the water.  The AquaSTOR panel shape has been meticulously designed with built in factor of safety to ensure many years of service.  W.R.C. (UK) approval has also been obtained for potable water grade.

Hot pressing moulding is extensively used worldwide in the GRP industry.  Tank Panels are moulded using the highest quality materials and under strict quality control discipline.  The result is strong, fully cured panels, dimensionally accurate with sharply defined and a smooth surface finish on both sides.

The major advantage over traditional labour intensive manufacturing methods is the assured consistent strength of the panels.  Other manufacturing techniques depend upon high skill levels and intensive inspection to ensure respectable quality products.
