Imcar vertical installations, to be used in the workshop or directly on site, are complete turnkey lines that, starting from coil or sheet metal, allow to produce medium and large tanks with the various processes of bending, cutting and welding, surface cleaning, and coupling of the shells, as well as the production and application of refrigeration channels. The technology developed by the company allows considerable savings of time and skilled staff, without detriment to quality. Imcar vertical technology is the result of over 60 years of experience; it has been studied, designed and manufactured for the production of tanks for the chemical, petrochemical and food sectors (beer, wine, milk, fruit juices, chocolate, etc. ).
IMCARi vertikaalsed mahutisüsteemid pakuvad traditsioonilise horisontaalse tootmise ees olulisi eeliseid. Peamised eelised hõlmavad lühemat tootmisaega, optimeeritud ruumikasutust ning roostevabast terasest mahutite püsivalt kõrget kvaliteeti ja standardiseerimist.
Technology and Innovation for Efficient Tanks
IMCAR’s vertical tank manufacturing plants represent a state-of-the-art solution for producing industrial storage tanks with maximum efficiency, quality, and flexibility. Designed for the fabrication of medium to large-scale industrial tanks, these systems are ideal for applications in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and beverage industries.
The vertical construction method optimizes workspace, reduces the required workforce, and improves operational safety by allowing all activities to be performed at ground level. This setup eliminates the need to work at height and significantly reduces the risk of contamination—essential for stainless steel tanks used in sanitary applications such as pharmaceuticals and food processing. IMCAR’s system supports the clean and safe production of contamination-free tanks using hygienic, efficient methods.
Advantages of vertical tank fabrication
IMCAR’s vertical storage tank systems offer significant advantages over traditional horizontal fabrication. Key benefits include shorter production times, optimized space usage, and consistent high quality and standardization of finished stainless steel storage vessels.
Because vertical fabrication eliminates the need for plastic surface protection, inox steel tanks can be satin-finished more cost-effectively. Additionally, the top-down assembly technique enhances workplace safety by removing the need for elevated work positions.
These sanitary tank fabrication lines offer a turnkey solution, combining technological innovation and production flexibility. Suitable for both in-shop manufacturing and on-site construction, IMCAR’s vertical plants deliver consistently high standards in custom tank manufacturing systems.
Size and versatility
IMCAR’s vertical tank production systems support diameters from 1.5 to 20 meters, with capacity expansion up to 40 meters. They handle steel thicknesses up to 12 mm from coil or 30 mm from sheet, offering outstanding versatility for a wide range of projects.
The advanced design enables seamless joining of shells with different thicknesses—without internal rings—eliminating the "barrel effect" and ensuring precision in every stainless steel tank.
Optimization and customization
The vertical configuration streamlines operations such as bending, cutting, welding, and surface finishing, requiring fewer operators and improving efficiency and safety. Coil changes are quick and user-friendly, minimizing downtime.
Integration with additional equipment—like flanging machines—makes these systems fully customizable, delivering bespoke tank production plants tailored to client-specific needs. IMCAR provides complete, scalable solutions for the efficient and sanitary fabrication of stainless steel storage tanks.
