Stainless Steel Tank Fabrication: USA Tank Manufacturer
Expert Solutions from Moon Fabricating Corporation
Since 1923, Moon Fabricating Corporation has been a single-source provider of custom fabrication solutions in Kokomo, Indiana. Our stainless steel tanks represent the pinnacle of corrosion resistance technology, providing industrial facilities with reliable protection against harsh chemicals, abrasive materials, and demanding operational conditions.
By 1970, Moon Fabricating Corporation had emerged as one of the largest applicators of corrosion resistant lining products in the nation, having expanded to include monolithic fiberglass reinforced linings and specialty coatings. Today, we continue that tradition of excellence with our premium stainless steel tank solutions.
Why Choose Moon’s Stainless Steel Tanks?
Meet even the most demanding corrosion resistant tank requirements with our strong, durable, and flexible stainless steel tanks. Whether you need water tank liners or chemical tank liners, Moon Fabricating Corporation is your go-to source for premier products.
Our stainless steel tanks deliver multiple advantages that protect your equipment and improve operational efficiency:
Superior Corrosion Resistance
Over time, metal and other products can break down when liquid or moisture in a system causes corrosion. That can result in contaminants getting into a product material, or other kinds of issues. Our stainless steel tanks create an impermeable barrier, preventing direct contact that leads to degradation. Our tanks are available in both 304 and 316 stainless steel that comply with industry standard specifications for stainless steel materials.
Extended Equipment Life
To prevent this type of situation, choose high-quality stainless steel to make sure that the installation is sealed and resistant, and will maintain its integrity over time. This is a basic part of good stewardship for systems that cost companies a lot of money, and require upfront capital outlays to support the enterprise.
Reduced Maintenance Costs
Without proper material selection, a tank may need repainting or re-sealing at certain intervals. This can be extremely expensive, depending on various factors such as whether a tank is situated on the ground or up in the air. To eliminate or decrease these kinds of costs, install stainless steel tanks so that the interior surface will last longer without expensive maintenance. This can lower staff costs, or the cost of outside assistance.
Improved Operational Appearance
These types of tanks also make systems cleaner and allow them to present better to outside visitors or auditors. For instance, if a certain area of core operations is slated for a tour or presentation, having these types of installations in place can make a difference in how impressive the business infrastructure looks. Stainless steel tanks and other accessories can also make operations “cleaner” and help promote a higher sanitary standard.
