This detailed product description presents the 250-liter, double-walled storage tank manufactured by Gartec, specifically designed for the safe and compliant storage of used (waste) oil. The tank is made from high-quality, high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which guarantees a long service life and chemical resistance against the stored fluids.
The tank with article number VS9106 offers an ideal solution for workshops, service centers, and industrial facilities where the strict, regulation-compliant storage of hazardous waste, especially used motor oils, is essential. The double-walled design provides a fundamental safety feature: in case of a leak in the inner tank, the outer wall contains the spilled fluid, thus preventing soil and environmental contamination.
The tank is supplied as standard equipment with a level indicator and a drain filter, which facilitate handling and maintenance. The robust construction and excellent material quality ensure that the tank withstands the mechanical stress encountered during daily use.
This storage unit is primarily optimized for the safe containment of the following fluids:
Waste oil: The main area of use, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.
New Oil (New oil): Although primarily designed for waste storage, it is also suitable for the temporary or stock storage of new oils.
Grease: Can also be used for storing more viscous materials.
AdBlue: Can also be suitable for storing urea solution, provided the specifications match.
Water: For general fluid storage.
Antifreeze: For storing coolants.
Air: Although not a typical storage purpose, it may be relevant as part of the system.
Cleaners: For storing various cleaning fluids.
Hydrocarbons: For the storage of certain hydrocarbon-based substances.
Windshield washer fluid:
Gartec offers a wide range of other fluid management solutions, such as pneumatic, electric, and manual pumps, hose reels, cable retractors, fluid recovery systems, dispensing guns, as well as equipped trolleys and complete dispensing kits.
The precise sizing and material of the tank guarantee reliable operation. The table below summarizes the most important technical parameters:
| Characteristic | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Product Part Number | VS9106 | Warranty and Identification Code |
| Capacity | 250 liter | Nominal tank volume |
| Material | High-density polyethylene (HDPE) | Excellent chemical resistance and durability |
| Construction | Double-wall | Secondary spill containment |
| Accessories | Level indicator and draining filter | Standard equipment |
| Shipping Weight | 26 kg | Empty weight of the tank |
| Packaging Dimensions (mm) | 800 x 800 x 1120 | Shipping and storage dimensions |
| Primary Fluid | Used Oil | Intended Application |
Environmental Compliance: The double-walled structure is critically important for complying with local and international environmental regulations, especially in the storage of hazardous waste. The secondary containment capacity is sufficient to hold the entire content of the main tank.
Material Selection: HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) is excellently resistant to most mineral oils, greases, and other chemicals common in workshops, minimizing the risk of corrosion.
Usability: The 26 kg weight (empty) makes moving the tank relatively easy, although using appropriate lifting equipment is recommended when full capacity is reached. The compact packaging dimensions (800x800x1120 mm) optimize logistics.
Integrated Functions: The built-in level indicator allows for visual inspection of the contents without needing to open the lid, thereby reducing the possibility of evaporation and contamination. The drain filter prevents larger contaminants (e.g., metal chips) from entering the drainage system or pumps.
Gartec's wide product portfolio ensures that a professional solution is available for every fluid management need, whether it's large-scale industrial storage or precise dispensing. The 250-liter double-walled tank fits perfectly into the comprehensive systems offered by Gartec, complementing pumps, dosing equipment, and computer-aided management systems.
This storage unit is not just a simple container; it is a safety element in the workshop infrastructure that contributes to efficient waste management and environmental protection. Due to its durable design and compliance with standards, it provides a long-term, reliable solution for storing used oil.
