Polyethylene tank 300 liters | horizontal - rtc

One-piece outdoor tank made of linear polyethylene (LLDPE) with horizontal development, obtained by rotational molding. Designed for storage of drinking water, storm water and other food liquids, it ensures high mechanical strength, absence of corrosion and long service life. Its compact shape and light weight make it easy to transport, install and maintain.

Why choose it

• Seamless monoblock: maximum structural strength and tightness.
• Non-toxic material and suitable for food contact: complies with the main EU regulations.
• Wide operating temperature range: -20 °C to +80 °C.
• Dedicated outdoor use: non-burying, ideal for terraces, patios, technical areas.
• Smooth surfaces: more hygiene and ease of cleaning.
• Female threaded arrangements for loading, unloading and total emptying.

Main technical specifications.

Fields of use.

• Potable water storage for civil and industrial services.
• Rainwater collection and reuse (irrigation, technical uses).
• Storage of food liquids compatible with PE (always consult compatibility table).

Equipment and arrangements

• Screw-ininspection cap with vent for easy internal inspection.
• Female threaded glands for loading, unloading and emptying.
• Additional holes can be drilled on suitable planes if required by the installation.

Installation instructions (summary).

1. Lay on flat, non-sagging surface sized to full load weight.
2. Avoid heat sources and light entry inside to prevent algae growth.
3. Use flexible piping for hydraulic connections (loading/unloading) to limit vibration and water hammer.
4. If a pump (internal or external) is present, provide adequate tank venting.
5. Installation outdoors only; do not leave the tank uncovered for long periods.

Use and maintenance.

The tank is supplied unwashed. Before first use, do an internal wash with water and mild detergent (or HACCP surface cleaner where necessary), then rinse thoroughly. Smooth surfaces simplify periodic cleaning and hygienic maintenance.
