Slurry tanks

Since the creation of Shell-O-Matic, we have built nearly 1000 slurry tanks so we know there is much more to it than a simple rotating drum with a paddle.

First, we pay attention to providing our customer with rugged and reliable driving mechanisms to ensure their tanks never stop. Second, we know that slurry material is expensive and probably the most important and sensitive component of the shell building system, so we provide you with all available options to measure, control and maintain the slurry quality.

This includes:

Level sensing and control of the robot to maintain constant dipping depth
Rotating speed adjustment
Real time viscosity sensing
Temperature sensing and control through a water-cooled paddle
Automatic cover that opens only when parts need to be dipped
Vacuum slurry tanks if needed

To ensure ease of cleaning we can also provide a variety of plastic covers and liners, including one-piece plastic liners for the tank interior. Furthermore, all wetted parts of the tank are made of high-quality stainless steel.

We can also provide turntables that can hold many tanks and position the one needed for the robot area, thus allowing a smaller envelope robot to access a plurality of tanks. If you need to move the tank around, we can build it on an air cushion, making it easy for an operator to displace it.
