Pressure Tanks for Industry, Coating & Engineering

Pressure Tanks – Design, Function and Areas of Use

Pressure tanks (also called pressure pots) are used to provide liquid or paste-like media under constant pressure. This ensures consistent material delivery – important for reproducible results, e.g. for painting, coating technology, adhesives, sealants, resins, or other industrial media.

Typical applications include coating systems, industrial material feed, metering technology, workshop and series processes, as well as production lines where stable material flow and clean processing are essential. Depending on the design, pressure tanks can be used without or with optional accessories such as agitators, wheels/trolleys, or a bottom outlet.

When selecting a suitable pressure tank, three factors are key: size (volume), material, and manufacturer. The tank size depends on material consumption and working method: smaller volumes are suitable for rework, samples, and short runs, while larger pressure tanks are ideal for longer intervals, serial production, and higher consumption.

The material determines resistance and cleaning effort: stainless steel pressure tanks are especially corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, and suitable for sensitive, aggressive, or hygiene-critical media. steel or aluminum pressure tanks are the economical solution for robust, industrial standard applications – ideal when high chemical resistance is not the main focus.

The manufacturer and build quality are just as important: robust lid and sealing systems, reliable fittings, and good spare-parts availability ensure safe, long-lasting processes. We provide manufacturer-neutral advice and select the right pressure tank based on medium, desired volume, pressure requirements, and operating environment – so your process runs cleanly, consistently, and cost-effectively.
