What is a feed hopper?
A feed hopper is a special use tank filled with material that is released at regular intervals and at controlled rates. Hoppers are containers that come in a multitude of shapes and sizes:
3.5 cubic
15 cubic feet
85 cubic feet
100 cubic feet
200 cubic feet
750 cubic feet
1 cubic yard
2 cubic yards
12.5 gallon
60 gallon
350 gallon
450 gallon
25 ton
And more. Some used feed hoppers have been custom-fabricated which means they come in many different sizes for many different applications. For example, it’s easy to find a used stainless steel conical hopper, cyclone hopper bin, hopper bottom vibrator, a stainless steel hopper tank, a hopper funnel, or a sandhopper for sale.
What is a pressure tank?
Pressure tanks are storage vessels that keep the contents under pressure. At Bid on Equipment, you’ll find pressure tanks in all sizes:
35 gallon pressure tank
85 gallon pressure tank
100 gallon pressure tank
200 gallon pressure tank
Pressure tanks are made for different purposes as well. A bright tank, for example, is a temperature-controlled pressure tank that keeps liquids as they wait to be bottled or packaged. Air compressor receiver tanks are crucial for a compressed air system of any kind. A retention tank is used to store liquids for future use. Most often, a pressure tank provides gas and liquid pressure where other forms of pressure are lacking or absent. For example, a pressure tank in your water system can provide water pressure in the absence or failure of your water pump. In industrial applications, pressure tanks are used in the distillation process, in hydraulic reservoirs and to contain substances needed in the manufacturing and production process.
What is a tote?
Totes are special use tanks used for storing and transporting liquids in an industrial setting. Totes come in numerous sizes:
200 gallon tote
250 gallon tote
300 gallon tote
370 gallon tote
70 cubic feet tote
80 cubic feet tote
150 cubic feet tote
And more. You can get totes in just about any size you need for any application you require. Used frac tanks for sale, for example, are used in the fracking industry to temporarily store thousands of gallons of liquid at a time. A Transtore wine tank is a kind of special use tank or tote used to store wine. Most often, a tote is used for storage. In industrial settings this storage can be temporary or part of a production process. Different totes can be used for different purposes depending on the materials being handled. Totes can contain chemicals, beverages, wastewater and more.
Why buy a used special use tank?
Feed hoppers, pressure tanks and totes are crucial equipment for any agricultural, mining, or sawmill outfit. They’re also commonly found in industrial operations that process recycling, aggregate, sand, liquids and more. Industrial manufacturing and processing operations are often incomplete without special use tanks like a 500 gallon diesel fuel tank. As such, used feed hoppers, pressure tanks and totes are easy to find in great shape and perfect functioning order. Purchasing a used feed hopper or pressure tank for sale can save your business money and protect your bottom line. Outfitting any plant can be an expensive undertaking, so consider used special use tanks to stay on budget without sacrificing quality or functionality. If you’re looking for a vertical air compressor tank or a used dump hopper for sale, check out listings to save your money.
