Product Description
Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) water tanks from Hebei Huayu Environmental Engineering Co., Ltd employ glass‐fiber‐reinforced thermoset panels molded under heat and pressure. The resulting structure is inert, non‐leaching, and suitable for potable water storage in municipal or community systems.
Panel Fabrication and Assembly
Each SMC panel is manufactured in a controlled environment to ensure consistent resin cure and fiber distribution. Panels feature built‐in flange profiles that seal against EPDM gaskets when bolted together. The slab‐flat surfaces and tongue‐and‐groove edges maintain alignment and eliminate standing water in joints.
Performance Characteristics
Potable‐Water Compliance: Resins and gelcoats conform to NSF/ANSI 61 standards for drinking‐water contact.
Thermal Expansion Control: Flexible steel support frames accommodate temperature‐induced dimensional changes without stressing the composite joints.
Lightweight Installation: Panels weighing under 50 kg/m² can be handled by small crews without cranes, enabling installation in remote or difficult‐to‐reach locations.
Maintenance and Service Life
Annual inspections check torque on flange bolts, gasket condition, and panel surface for UV degradation. Cleaning is conducted with potable‐water‐safe detergents and low‐pressure rinse systems. Hebei Huayu provides a toolkit of spare panels, gaskets, and fasteners to permit rapid on‐site repairs.
