Best Vintage: Sandblast Your Way Into New Skills

Johnny V saying hi. I am a vintage car fanatic who turns old, discarded bombs into works of art. I sell many of them but I also keep some to drive around town. I love the stares and looks of envy. All the hard work is worth it. The biggest enemy in repairing vintage cars is rust, so I am a big believer in sandblasting. Sandblasting is truly a skill that must be learnt through trial and error. You need to follow safety procedures and perfect your technique so you don't have metal warpage. However, once you learn to sandblast, there is no cheaper, more effective way of creating a rust-free, clean surface for a paint job. In this blog I share my techniques because I know many people are hesitant about learning new skills. I hope you learn something new and gain confidence. Best of luck.

Buying an industrial water tank is a long-term investment. These tanks vary in size, cost, quality and brand. As such, you need to weigh the available options to identify one that meets your needs sufficiently. If you are in the market for this type of reservoir, the following information will help you make an informed choice: 

1. Uses of Industrial Water Tanks

The intended use of the tank influences the choice. How you will use the tank will, in turn, determine the size, material, shape and structure of the reservoir. Though industrial water tanks are mostly used for water conservation, you can also use them in chemical storage, fermentation and mixing of liquids. Each of these uses requires a tank that has unique features. For instance, you should look out for non-corrosive properties when purchasing a chemical storage tank.

2. Benefits of Buying Industrial Water Tanks

The market offers different types of tanks for industrial purposes. However, understanding the benefits of these tanks allows you to determine if it's a worthy investment. Three main benefits distinguish these tanks from any others, and they include the following:

Economical 

The tanks are affordable. The manufacturing process allows for the mass production of tanks with different features. It is also easy for the manufacturer to poly weld a tank that suits a buyer's needs. The simplicity of the production process leads to low pricing. In an industrial setup, profit maximization significantly depends on your expenditure. Since they are inexpensive, industrial water tanks keep your expenses low and increase your profits.

UV Rays Tolerant

Industrial reservoirs are commonly placed in areas where they are exposed to direct sunlight. Luckily, the material and technology used to manufacture the tanks make them UV resistant. Besides, they can withstand the sun's heat without getting easily damaged. 

Longevity

The purchase of an industrial reservoir can be financially intensive depending on the material the tank is made of. As such, you should find one that is durable. Industrial water tanks are robust since they are made of strong materials such as linear low-density polyethylene (LLPDE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE). 

3. Capacity of the Tank

Industrial water tanks come in different sizes. To choose the ideal tank, identify the quantity of the material to be stored in it and the installation space available in your facility. This information will help you select the most suitable size.

The above information should get you started in the buying process. However, you need to consult with a professional industrial tank installer for the installation guidelines.
