    Description

    Using bolted tanks (especially GFS bolted tanks) for storing dry bulk cargo essentially involves applying a high-standard, corrosion-resistant container originally designed for liquids to the field of solid bulk materials. This technology solves the problems such as moisture absorption & caking, wall adhesion & clogging, as well as abrasion & corrosion in dry bulk storage.

    Compared with traditional engineering project like concrete water storage container, bolted steel tanks provided a more efficient and cost-effective solution, ensuring safe and efficient transportation and storage.

    🔎 The Glass Fused to Steel (GFS) tank is a kind of bolted storage tank made from two materials: glass and steel. High-strength TRS (titanium-rich steel) plates and enamels are perfectly fused at high temperatures to form a highly inert inorganic glaze layer.

    Key Property Low Carbon  ·  High Strength  ·  High Titanium

    The steel substrate employed in the construction of glass-fused-to-steel tanks is a special high strength enamelled steel with a unique design and superior properties. Its mechanical properties, including yield strength, tensile strength, and elongation, far exceed those of conventional steel sheets.

    Products Advantage

    The reason why GFS bolted storage tanks are used for dry bulk storage is that, with their enamel surface featuring high hardness, high smoothness and high sealing performance, they precisely solve the three major problems of dry bulk materials: fear of moisture, adhesion and abrasion.

    🧹
    The enamel surface is smooth with extremely low surface roughness and a small friction coefficient. Materials hardly adhere under gravity, achieving a self-cleaning effect and ensuring smooth discharge.
    💧
    The enamel layer is a glassy material with zero air permeability. Acting as a dense glass bottle wall, it completely blocks the penetration of rainwater and humid air, keeping the materials inside the tank dry at all times.
    🔥
    The enamel layer is sintered at high temperature, featuring high hardness and excellent wear resistance. It is also acid and alkali resistant, capable of resisting chemical corrosion from materials and protecting the substrate from damage.

    LIDA's glass fused to steel (GFS) storage tanks are composed mainly of enamel panel, special sealant and self-locking bolts, etc. The steel plates are overlapped, bolted together and sealed with high performance seals. They are easy to be installed with a short construction period and simple to maintain.

    When factory capacity needs expansion, modular tanks can be heightened by adding steel plate layers. If the plant is relocated, they can be dismantled and rebuilt off-site by removing bolts, thus preserving asset value—something that cannot be achieved with concrete structures.

    Frequently Asked Questions
    Q What is a Glass Fused to Steel (GFS) bolted tank?
    A Glass Fused to Steel (GFS) bolted tank is a type of storage tank made by fusing high-strength TRS (titanium-rich steel) plates with enamel at high temperatures. This process creates a highly inert inorganic glaze layer on the steel surface, combining the structural strength of steel with the chemical resistance and smoothness of glass.
    Q Why are GFS bolted tanks suitable for storing dry bulk materials?
    GFS bolted tanks are ideal for dry bulk storage because their enamel surface precisely addresses the three major challenges of dry bulk materials: moisture absorption, wall adhesion, and abrasion. The smooth, non-porous enamel coating prevents moisture penetration, reduces material adhesion for easy discharge, and offers excellent wear and chemical resistance.
    Q How do GFS bolted tanks compare to traditional concrete storage structures?
    Compared to traditional concrete structures, GFS bolted tanks offer faster installation, lower construction environment requirements, and greater flexibility. They can be expanded by adding steel plate layers, relocated by disassembling and rebuilding off-site, and require simpler maintenance — all of which are not possible with concrete structures.
    Q What is the expected service life of a GFS bolted storage tank?
    GFS bolted storage tanks are designed for long-term use, with a service life in excess of 30 years. The high-temperature sintered enamel layer provides outstanding hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, significantly extending the tank's operational lifespan with minimal maintenance required.
    Q What are the main components of a GFS bolted storage tank?
    A GFS bolted storage tank is primarily composed of enamel panels, high-performance special sealant, and self-locking bolts. The steel plates are overlapped, bolted together, and sealed to form a robust, airtight structure that is both easy to assemble and simple to maintain.
    Q Can GFS bolted tanks be expanded or relocated after installation?
    Yes. One of the key advantages of GFS bolted tanks is their modularity. When additional storage capacity is needed, the tank can be heightened by adding more steel plate layers. If a facility is relocated, the tank can be fully dismantled by removing bolts and reassembled at the new site, preserving the full asset value — unlike permanent concrete structures.
