Custom DEF Tanks for Commercial Generators and Industrial Generators

When it comes to any diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) tank system, commercial generator and industrial generator manufacturers appreciate the obvious advantages of  custom-fabricated plastic DEF tanks (compared to stainless steel). For industrial generators and commercial generators manufacturers, cost savings is the most obvious benefit.  In addtion, plastic is 100% rust-proof, and our custom designs take full advantage of every bit of real estate available within your industrial power generators. Also, contamination doesn’t adhere or stick to our type of substrate. Thus, routine maintenance and cleaning become much faster/easier.

One of our best customers manufactures large, industrial generators, which require 50–100-gallon DEF tanks. Before outsourcing their tanks to us, they were making their own DEF tanks using stainless steel. We reduced their hard costs by more than 34%, freed up two of their full-time employees, opened up more space on their floor, and they are now able to focus on their core products and production. Lastly, we provide more environmentally friendly (green) diesel exhaust fluid tanks because we recycle all unused polymers.

CPF DEF Tank Benefits

Poly DEF Tanks Will Not Corrode

Custom poly DEF tanks are designed specifically for DEF Gen-set, using materials that do not react with DEF. This ensures the purity and effectiveness of your DEF, protecting your SCR systems from damage. Unlike stainless or aluminum, DEF tanks made out of polypropylene plastic are resistant to corroding (even in a moisture-rich environment).

Poly Is Much Easier to Clean than Aluminum

Polypropylene is a homogeneous material that protects urea against many types of contamination. Therefore, poly has excellent chemical resistance, which protects the material from many organic solvents, acids, and bases. There is no need to worry about your DEF tanks ever rusting or corroding because they are made up of poly, a chemically inert material. Moreover, the cleaning process of your DEF tank will be much easier. Most particles that attach to polypropylene slide off it easily.

Poly Tanks Are Durable

Due to outstanding durability, polypropylene plastic doesn't crack upon any ordinary external force and can even resist the impact of a sledgehammer. This durability reduces the need for frequent replacements.

More Friendly to the Environment

CPF engages in a wide range of green initiatives that demonstrate our commitment to doing business in an environmentally responsible manner. In this regard, we are adhered to help reduce carbon emissions, preserve wooded areas and biodiversity, and keep our air and water clean. Learn more about our Green and Lean Initiatives.

CPF Reclaims Material

Following our environmental responsibilities, we reclaim cut material in our factories and weld together to form additional sheets for more work. Thus, significantly reducing unnecessary waste. Also, the scrap material is reground with the supplier and recycled for future use.

We Offer Product Support

Our team of technicians comes directly to you for any repair or modification to your product. Each technician is a full-time CPF employee that receives regular training. Our product support includes warranty claims, aftermarket modification product support, and post-warranty product support. Learn more about how our product support team can help you.

Contact Our Product Specialist

Are you facing challenges with your current DEF Gen-set solutions? Many businesses encounter common pain points with standard DEF tanks that can hinder the efficiency and reliability of their SCR systems. Contact us and learn how custom poly DEF tanks can help ease these issues and enhance your operations.

Why Custom Fabrication of your Poly Diesel Exhaust Fluid Tank

With a custom fabrication you can design any specific size, shape, and any other preferences you may have for your diesel exhaust fluid tank (DEF tank). Additionally, our engineers and designers can collaborate with you to improve results and devise such a design, ensuring your next project will be a success. We design each tank according to your specifications and drawing submittal. Engineers nest product designs to keep scrap to a minimum and to avoid any material waste. After approving the drawing, we’ll start manufacturing your custom DEF tanks.

Moreover, if you are still manufacturing your own DEF tanks, outsourcing to us will free up your manpower and floor space. Given that labor is a huge expense, this can allow you to focus on your core business better. Also, a polytank is much cheaper than a stainless steel diesel exhaust fluid tank. Below are a few other reasons to have a custom fabrication of your poly diesel exhaust fluid tank:

Large poly tank sizes

The custom fabrication of products allows the manufacture of substantial sizes of your custom diesel exhaust fluid tank as well. Since there is no limit in size, the custom fabrication allows you to maximize the real estate/gallonage of bulk DEF fluid in your polytank.

Custom shapes

One of the additional capabilities of CPF is that we provide custom shapes and designs of products and tanks. Our engineers and designers use CAD/CAM automation, and our CNC routers allow skilled fabricators to make a two-dimensional shape that can fulfill nearly any requirement you may have.

Internal or integrated structure

Tanks are built with an integrated design that is almost impossible to do with other types of tanks. The only method for the production of other types of tanks is from the tiring process of molding. On the other hand, in CPF DEF tanks, we can build into the design all the compartments, work surfaces, mounting locations without any mold.

If you are looking for specific measures and customizing your DEF tanks, a custom fabrication may be a better solution. Each tank is manufactured to your specifications and/or drawing submittal. After approving the drawing we’ll start the production of your poly tank.

Low run quantities

This is one of our products and polytanks' most useful features as the capital investment for such tanks is not as extensive compared to molded tanks. New designs do not require a mold as we custom fabricate from raw sheets. You need new molds for fiberglass or rotomolded (Rotational Molding) products. Therefore, these molds increase the cost of your product. Therefore, the custom fabrication of your diesel exhaust fluid tank is ideal for low-cost modifications for any new generator design.

Aesthetically Pleasing

DEF tanks made of polypropylene are aesthetically much better than other materials as they maintain a clean appearance and last for many years without causing any disturbance. Also, the rectangular shape allows you to have more area for advertising, making your truck more attractive.
