Polyethylene tank 5000 liters | vertical

The Rototec 5000-liter vertical tank is a one-piece container made of high-density linear polyethylene (LLDPE) by rotational molding. It is designed for storage of potable water, storm water and compatible food liquids, offering high mechanical strength and durability.

Its vertical shape reduces its footprint on the ground, making it suitable for installation in confined spaces, on terraces, in technical or industrial areas. The material is non-toxic, anti-corrosion and UV-resistant, ensuring maximum hygiene and stability over time.

Key Features.

• One-piece LLDPE structure: no welding, maximum strength and tightness.
• Suitable for food contact: complies with European regulations.
• Ø 40 cm inspection cap (CC400) made of PP with vent for easy maintenance.
• Female threaded connections for loading, unloading and total emptying.
• Smooth surfaces: for easy and hygienic cleaning.
• Resistant to UV light, impact and temperature changes from -20 °C to +80 °C.
