Fully Modular

The ZipaTank^TM has a fully modular construction. All components of the ZipaTank^TM are designed so they will fit into a standard 40 foot shipping container, reducing the necessity for special transportation arrangements to a clients site.

No special tools are required for construction of your ZipaTank, and no site welding or other skilled labour will be necessary during construction. No hot work permits are necessary, as the only assembly required is location of the locking key, and the base of the tank.

Low Cost

The ZipaTank^TM system will reduce the cost of your slurry tank compared to a conventional welded tank by up to 50%. Installation of ZipaTanks^TM can be completed and operational within 1-2 weeks from delivery of materials to site, compared with upwards of 3 months for site welded tanks. The system is also very simple to use, with no welding required in the construction of the tank, so minimal skilled labour is required.

ZipaTank^TM designs are standardised to minimise the amount of engineering required for each application. This results in a reduced cost, as well as a shorter fabrication time.

Relocatable

The ZipaTank^TM is designed for easy assembly as well as easy disassembly. ZipaTanks^TM can be taken apart for relocation in a matter of days.

Reduced Installation Times and Simple Maintenance

The ZipaTank^TM is designed and fabricated into fully modular components that require no welding on site. This allows for site preparation of the foundations of the tank to occur concurrently with the fabrication of the modular panels of the ZipaTank^TM off-site. For most conventional tanks, the tank foundations must be completed before welding and lining of the tank can be carried out.

Since there is no welding required in the assembly of the ZipaTank^TM, there is no requirement for skilled labour, scaffolding or specialised equipment. No weld inspection is required after installation of the ZipaTank^TM.

ZipaTanks^TM can reduce installation time to less than a half the time it takes to install a comparable conventional tank.

Coatings and Linings

One of the benefits of ZipaTank^TM construction is that it allows fabrication of each component of the tank under factory controlled conditions. This allows the designer to use lower cost lined components in place of more expensive alloy steels without the loss in quality often associated with installation of lined systems at remote sites.

The tank panels and all internal surfaces can be lined with a range of rubber or GRP/FRP materials, depending on the nature of the tank contents. These linings are cured under precisely controlled conditions at the point of fabrication, to ensure a reliable and robust lining is achieved.

The panels are painted externally for long operating life.

Modular Ancillaries

The ZipaTank^TM tank can be provided as a complete package inclusive of the agitator, impellers and agitator support beams. Other accessories can be part of the engineering package should more than one ZipaTank^TM be required. All ancillaries are modular and can easily fit into your tank.
