Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Supply your food and beverage business with circular or elliptical tank heads

Food and beverage processing, as you know, requires large tanks to mix, cool, heat or store different liquids; get the tank heads you need to cover or seal those tanks. Whatever the shape and material of your equipment, you can find the tank heads to fit it to your specifications.

I recommend: Weigh the options available to you for tank head manufacturers by sizing up Brighton Tru-Edge, Shamrock Steel and Helander Metal Spinning. You can request quote and product information from each to see which one can build the best steel tank heads for your food and beverage processing needs.

Get stainless steel tank heads for the tanks in your chemical processing company

Chemical and petrochemical processing can be dangerous if the equipment isn't up to standards; having the right tank heads with the right fit and of the right material can ensure a safe, productive workplace. Keep your chemicals in the right condition and your employees safe by implementing the correct products.

I recommend: Analyze your chemical processing requirements and select an industrial tank heads distributor from among Commercial Metal Forming, Hialeah Metal Spinning or Compco Tankhead Express. Request a quote from all three and compare their prices and abilities.

Locate tank head manufacturers to cover the needs of your water supply business

Water treatment and/or supply plants also need large tanks to operate. Get the tank heads to fit your equipment and keep contaminants either in or out, depending on your use, and manage your water supply appropriately. Whether you need large heads for water storage or smaller ones for indoor treatment processes, keep your business covered.

I recommend: Buy industrial tank heads for your water treatment, storage and supply needs. Find tank heads supplier companies such as Tank Components Industries (TCI), Century Metal Spinning and Acme Metal Spinning and request information from them regarding their products. TCI provides various specialty shapes for smaller tanks.

• •  Another option you may seek is the use of plastic tank heads. If they're not precluded by the types of chemicals you work with, you might find plastic heads to be cheaper and easier to install due to lighter weight. Just make sure they're safe for your work materials.
