HITANK-S
HITANK-S panels are manufactured using STS 444, a type of material with the best corrosion resistance performance among stainless steel produced and distributed in Korea. The key feature of the panels is that they are assembled with a non-welding bolt assembly method to prevent rusting. Compared to STS 304, STS 444 (Duplex) steel is superior in terms of the time it takes for a fracture to be generated under a repeated load when filling or draining water. Also, existing welded stainless steel (STS 304) water tanks often experience generation of internal rust, which worsens the water quality and reduces the lifespan of the water tank but, in contrast, HITANK-S employs the non-welding method and assembles a water tank using only bolts, which makes it an advanced STS water tank product that has completely eliminated any possibility of deterioration and corrosion during welding.
product name
- HITANK-S
Additional explanation
Material
New type of stainless steel with outstanding corrosion resistance
New STS400 steel material containing molybdenum (Mo)
Shows powerful corrosion resistance with less generation of rust due to chlorine gas
Technique
Bolt assembly, panel joint technique
Completely eliminates the issue of rust generation thanks to a non-welding bolt assembly technique
Structure
System that emphasizes external reinforcement
Minimized internal horizontal reinforcing materials by employing the external frame reinforcement method
1-3mh: 100% external reinforcement type (no internal reinforcing materials)
Greater than 3.5mh: Internal and external mixed reinforcement type (no reinforcing materials on the upper section)
Increased sanitation and convenience in cleaning
