Bulk Containers for storing, handling, and transferring liquids are an JBF’s specialty. These containers can be mounted on four-way forklift channels, pressure and/or vacuum rated, and can be stack-able.
Our 40,000 square foot manufacturing plant accommodates large tank fabrication. The tall building allows for one piece vertical assembly, which is a very economical manufacturing method. The actual building site or installation constraints may require on-site tank assembly. Seismic conditions are always considered.
Venting is especially critical in large volume tanks. General rules and calculations are compiled
with weather related effects to vent large tanks built for outdoor service.
Large tanks can be outfitted with an enclosed skirt allowing tanks in exterior locations to safely
house instrumentation and monitoring equipment.
Mild steel or stainless steel legs, diagonal cross bracing and center supports are used in place
of bases when applications require on-site adjustment.
Load cells are mounted on sidewall brackets or legs. Sidewall bracket mounting facilitates
suspended vessels, and are braced structurally within the tank wall. Leg-mounted load cells can
be supplied during tank construction.
Economical sectional bases are available in coated structural steel. The egg crate design can
accommodate sloping or flat bottom tanks.
