Welded Tanks & Silos
Factory Welded Silos & Tanks for Dry Bulk Storage
Factory-Coated, Precision-Engineered Welded Tanks and Silos for Dry Bulk Applications
CMT Process Solutions provides premium welded tanks engineered for dependable, water-tight protection of powders, chemicals, liquids, and other bulk materials. Designed for demanding industrial applications, our welded storage solutions deliver reliable performance for both dry and liquid storage needs.
Each welded tank and storage silo is fabricated in a controlled shop environment and built as a single-piece construction to ensure exceptional quality, strength, and long-term structural integrity. Factory-applied interior coatings are FDA and NSF approved, offering outstanding resistance to abrasion and corrosion while enhancing material flow. Exterior coating systems are specifically designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions while minimizing maintenance requirements.
For customers seeking a more integrated solution, CMT offers specialized System Installed Tank (SIT) designs. These can include insulation, bin activators, hopper fluidization, valves, slide gates, wiring harnesses, control panels, and other auxiliary components pre-installed within the tank skirt prior to shipment—streamlining field installation and ensuring seamless system integration.

Features and Advantages
Why Choose Welded Tanks?
Factory-Built Precision
Unlike field-welded tanks, our welded silos are fabricated in a modern, controlled manufacturing facility. This ensures:
- Consistent weld quality using qualified welders and procedures
- Controlled surface preparation and coating application
- Force-cured coatings in a dedicated oven system
- Strict quality assurance and inspection protocols
Each tank is engineered to meet specific design requirements, including mass flow or funnel flow loading conditions.
Fastest Installation Available
Welded tanks are shipped fully assembled (or in large subassemblies) and arrive ready for crane placement onto a prepared foundation.
Benefits include:
- Shortest installation time
- Reduced field labor
- Minimal on-site welding
- Lower construction risk
- Rapid project turnaround
For many applications, welded systems represent the fastest path from delivery to operation.
Advanced Coating Systems for Maximum Protection
Our welded tanks feature high-performance epoxy and urethane coating systems engineered for long-term corrosion resistance and reduced maintenance.
Interior Coating Options
- Standard epoxy primer (up to 250°F / 121°C)
- FDA-compliant epoxy coatings for food-grade materials
- AR-Lon 6101 (FDA & USDA accepted) for enhanced abrasion resistance
- High-temperature inorganic zinc (up to 750°F / 399°C)
Exterior Coating Systems
- Epoxy primer with high-performance urethane topcoat
- Heavy-duty multi-coat systems for coastal or industrial environments
- High-temperature exterior coatings up to 750°F (399°C)
Factory coating ensures better adhesion, uniform film thickness, and superior performance compared to field-applied systems.
