The two-station production line consists of:
Stand I – cargo production
- unwinding sheet metal from a coil in a vertical position,
- initial straightening and forming of the lip of the desired diameter of the produced
tank, - automated vertical cutting using a plasma cutter,
- automated vertical welding using a vertical welding
bench, - optional grinding/cleaning of vertical welds.
Stand II – vertical production of the tank
- regrinding of tack welds prior to the welding process,
- automated circumferential welding of the combined lips of the fabricated
tank and the pressing of the completed welds, - regrinding of the completed welds,
- grinding/cleaning of the external and internal surface of the circumferential
welds.
Parameters of the feed materials and of the manufactured tanks
- thickness of batch sheet: 2.0 – 6.0 mm
- batch coil weight: 7000 – 24 000 kg
- width of batch coil: 1000 – 2000 mm
- tank diameter: 2000 – 4500 mm
