Understanding Water Tanks: Product 
Definition and Applications
What Are Water Tanks? Key Applications
Water tanks are essential storage containers designed to • Residential water storage for homes and apartments
collect, store, and distribute potable and non-potable water for • Agricultural irrigation and livestock watering systems
residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial purposes. 
• Industrial process water storage and cooling systems
These tanks come in various materials including polyethylene, 
•
fiberglass, concrete, and steel, each offering unique benefits for Commercial buildings and hospitality sector requirements
specific applications. • Emergency water supply and disaster relief operations
• Rainwater harvesting and conservation projects
Modern water tanks incorporate advanced materials and 
manufacturing techniques to ensure durability, hygiene, and 
cost-effectiveness. They play a critical role in water 
management systems worldwide, particularly in regions facing 
water scarcity or irregular supply.

Water Tank Production Process
The water tank manufacturing process involves sophisticated techniques tailored to the material 
type. For plastic tanks, the most common method is rotational molding (rotomolding), which 
ensures uniform wall thickness and durability.
Raw Material Preparation
Procurement and preparation of polyethylene resin, additives, and UV stabilizers. 
Quality testing ensures material meets specifications.
Molding and Forming
Rotational molding process heats and rotates molds to create seamless, stress-free 
tanks with consistent wall thickness.
Cooling and Trimming
Controlled cooling prevents warping. Excess material is trimmed and openings are 
created for fittings and accessories.
Quality Control and Finishing
Rigorous testing for strength, leak-proofing, and dimensional accuracy. Final 
inspection and packaging for distribution.
Plant Setup Requirements and Layout Design
Land and Infrastructure
A water tank manufacturing plant requires approximately 2-3 acres of industrial land with proper zoning approvals. The 
facility should have adequate space for production areas, raw material storage, finished goods warehousing, and 
administrative offices.
Essential Infrastructure Components:
• Production hall with heavy-duty flooring (minimum 20,000 sq ft)
• Raw material storage area with climate control
• Quality control and testing laboratory
• Finished goods warehouse with loading docks
• Utility rooms for power distribution and water supply
• Administrative offices and worker facilities
Critical Considerations
Required Machinery and Equipment
1 Rotational Molding Machines
Core production equipment for plastic tank manufacturing. Multi-arm machines increase capacity and efficiency. Investment range varies based on size and automation level.
2 Material Handling Systems
Conveyor systems, hoists, and forklifts for moving raw materials and finished products. Essential for maintaining smooth production flow.
3 Molds and Tooling
Precision-engineered molds for various tank sizes and designs. High-quality tooling ensures product consistency and longevity.
4 Testing and Quality Equipment
Leak testing machines, pressure testing equipment, and dimensional measurement tools ensure products meet quality standards.
5 Auxiliary Equipment
Grinding machines, drilling equipment, welding stations, and finishing tools for post-molding operations and customization.
6 Utilities and Support Systems
Industrial generators, cooling systems, air compressors, and water treatment units to support continuous manufacturing operations.
Raw Materials, Utilities, and Operational Requirements
Raw Material Requirements Utility Requirements
Primary Materials: Electrical Power: Consistent supply of 500-1000 KVA for production 
machinery, lighting, and climate control systems.
• Polyethylene resin (LLDPE/HDPE) - main component for tank 
body Water Supply: Process water for cooling and facility operations, 
• UV stabilizers and additives for weather resistance approximately 50,000-75,000 liters per day.
• Colorants and pigments for product differentiation Natural Gas/LPG: Fuel for heating rotational molding machines and 
• Fittings, valves, and accessories for functionality maintaining optimal production temperatures.
Packaging Materials: Protective wrapping, strapping, and labeling Manpower: Skilled operators, quality control personnel, maintenance 
materials for safe transportation and brand identification. technicians, and administrative staff totaling 40-60 employees.
Establishing reliable supplier relationships and maintaining adequate inventory levels are crucial for uninterrupted production. Long-term contracts 
with resin suppliers can help stabilize raw material costs and ensure consistent quality.
Project Economics: Capital and Operating Expenditure
