Birth of a Waste Tank.

[Lee Stockwell]

Cylindrical are ideal, with dome or conical ends.

Still need baffling for slosh, airflow, and damage control.

How do you baffle a cylindrical tank?

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Look at a 55 gallon drum, specifically the ribs rolled around the circumference.

That helps resist damage from side impacts.

To minimize sloshing a perforated panel can be included.

Deflection panels at the top guide incoming water downward away from the vacuum source, minimizing turbulence.

Who has a picture of the inside of a round Vortex tank?

All I know is Lee doesn't use the wand to hold him up..........

Rolled

 

[Newman]

Rolled

Yes, now you are speaking Bawb's language.

 

[bob vawter]

You're that guy on Pawn Stars wit the beard and funny hat.....

 

[bob vawter]

Whadya think.....do they make the roll on the flat stock.....or after they they form the cylinder. ...?????

 

[Lee Stockwell]

After

 

[rick imby]

Wow , I would have guessed on the Flat stock. I've seen them make Aluminum bicycle rims---like they were a curly fry. They feed the extrusion through the rollers and about 6 rims come out of one straight piece.

 

[bob vawter]

Ahh HA....that was a test question. ....you can not roll a cylinder shape between two rollers with a bead bend already in it.....Lee is one sharp cookie.....

@steamron Any updates?
