Why Glass Fused Steel Tanks Outperform The Rest - LGS Projects

In today's fast-paced industrial world, reliable and long-lasting storage solutions are paramount. For businesses seeking the ultimate in durability, corrosion resistance, and cost-effectiveness, LGS PROJECTS offers cutting-edge Glass Fused Steel (GFS) tanks that represent a leap forward in storage technology.

You will get efficient and thoughtful service from Wansheng.

What Makes GFS Tanks Different?

Glass Fused to Steel technology isn't just a coating; it's a fusion. At incredibly high temperatures, molten glass chemically bonds with the steel substrate, creating an inert, inorganic layer. This unique process combines the strength and flexibility of steel with the exceptional corrosion resistance of glass. The result? A tank that stands the test of time, even in the harshest environments.

The LGS PROJECTS Advantage: Key Benefits of GFS Tanks

Glass Fused to Steel (GFS) tanks can be very cost-effective in the long run, despite potentially having a higher initial investment compared to some other tank options. Here's a breakdown of why:

Feature What it Means Your Benefit Corrosion Resistance Unlike painted or epoxy-coated tanks, Fused glass creates an inert barrier, preventing rust and corrosion even in harsh conditions. Longer tank life, reduced replacement costs, and protection of stored materials. Chemical Resistance Resists a wide range of chemicals, allowing for versatile storage of various substances. Flexibility for different storage needs and minimizes the risk of damage or contamination. Abrasion Resistance Hard, smooth glass surface prevents wear and tear from solids and flow. Reduced maintenance and extended lifespan of the tank lining. Minimal Maintenance Durable glass surface requires minimal upkeep, eliminating the need for repainting. Lower operational costs and reduced downtime. Significant advantage over traditional tanks that require regular repairs. Fast, Safe Construction Factory-manufactured and bolted on-site, ensuring quick assembly and enhanced safety. Faster project completion, lower labor costs, and minimized disruption to operations. Easy Relocation Bolted design allows for easy disassembly and relocation as needed. Adaptability for future expansion or changing storage requirements. Eco-Friendly Sustainable manufacturing and long lifespan contribute to resource conservation. Aligns with sustainability goals and enhances your company's environmental image.

Why Are the Industry Willing to Choose Glass Fused Bolted Steel ...

A glass fused bolted steel tank is constructed using specially designed high-strength enamel steel as the base material. Professional boring technology is employed to fuse a high-inert, anti-corrosion glaze layer onto the surface of this base material. This results in standardized steel plate modules that, once packaged and delivered to the construction site, can be assembled quickly and with low consumption of resources, ultimately forming the tank body through advanced technology.

Compared to other types of tanks (such as reinforced concrete tanks and carbon steel welded tanks), glass fused bolted steel tanks represent a breakthrough innovation in materials, anti-corrosion technology, and installation methods, making it an advanced tank construction technology worldwide.

Enamel Process Development History

Enamel is an inorganic glassy material that, when melted at high temperatures, fuses with a steel plate base to form a composite material.

Simply put, it is a combination of steel and glass.

Enamel technology likely originated in Western Asia, where it was initially used for coloring gold and jewelry headpieces.

Around , the application of porcelain glaze to small metal sheets reached its peak in Battersea. During this period, the glazing of black metal also began.

With the development of non-ferrous metal enamel technology, people started using enamel technology to produce daily necessities. Originally, kitchen utensils were made of cast iron. However, with the advent of steel, it was discovered that making kitchen utensils from steel was more cost-effective.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, the application of enamel on these two metals has developed rapidly and steadily. Enamelled steel products are common in kitchen utensils, signboards, metal fittings, bathtubs, refrigerator linings, and cooktop fittings. Cast iron products are primarily used for bathtubs, sinks, heavy stoves, and other less well-known items.

Both industries are progressing side by side, each with its own technological advancements. One of the new developments in the enamel steel plate industry is the application of enamel steel plates in residential and commercial decoration materials. Enamel steel plates for roofing and interior decoration have been produced for many years. The main advantages of this material are cleanliness, long service life, and the ability to maintain its color and surface finish.

Glass Fused Bolted Steel Tank Industry Application

GFS tanks are widely used for water storage, oil storage, and bulk storage in energy, environmental protection, bulk cargo, and other industries due to their advantages of fast installation and excellent anti-corrosion performance.

Germany, France, the Czech Republic, and other advanced countries began studying enamel assembly technology in the s for urban sewage and Industrial Wastewater treatment projects. The State Environmental Protection Administration aimed to develop high-tech urban sewage and industrial wastewater treatment equipment by integrating process technology and manufacturing technology. The "Research and Development of Efficient Unit Processing Equipment" was listed as a research topic in the "Ninth Five-Year Plan."

Currently, we are the leading brand of glass fused bolted steel tanks in China. 

Enamel Process Production Process

- Stock of raw materials

- Machining treatment

- Shot blasting, arc pressing

- Glaze spraying, drying

- Glaze burnt

- Quality inspection package

Glass Fused Bolted Steel Tank Installation

Commonly used enamel steel plates have a thickness of 3-12mm, with a standard plate size of 1.25m (height) x 2.5m (width). After vertical and horizontal laps, the net size is 1.2m (height) x 2.4m (width).

The splicing between the enamel steel plates of the tank body involves overlapping the upper and lower steel plates and connecting them with self-locking bolts. A layer of hot-dip galvanized stirrup is added every two layers of plates. The lower left and upper right corners of the enamel steel plate are cut in a Z-shape, resulting in a thickness of three plates where four plates overlap.

To ensure safety and reduce high-altitude work, the enamel assembly tank is installed using the flip method. The first layer of enamel plate is installed, then the top is raised after completion, and the second layer of enamel steel plate is installed, continuing in this manner.
