Fabrication and Installation of Molasses Storage Tank
One of our feed mill customers needed a round molasses storage tank that would hold 10,000 gallons. To hold that much, Maple Grove Enterprises designed a tank 20 feet high and 10 feet in diameter. The project required that we roll 10′ sheets of steel with our pinch roll. This was a Maple Grove Enterprises project from start to finish. We designed the tank for its custom application, designed and fabricated the OSHA-approved custom outside safety ladder, fabricated the tank, and installed it at the feed mill.

We rolled the 1/4" x 5' wide x 10' long plate steel for the walls of the molasses storage tank. |
The tank consists of four separate sections that were welded together. |
