Plastic Conicals

[Asher]

Quick cost breakdown:

Tank - $260
SS valves, tube and compression fitting - $75
Fridge - $50
Dixell Temp Controller - $90
Misc steelwork $25

Bit of work to do yet...
Need to fit a tube through the roof of the fridge for an airlock outside. This will also be used to pump CO2 back into fermenter for beer transfer to kegs...

Looks great Asher, room in there for expansion to the brewery as well . Hope those wheels on the bottom of the fridge are strong.

Hey Asher,

Very nice job. Was looking at Rota Molding's prices and the 100L is listed as $306. Any reason why yours was $206?

Whoops meant $260

Creative work on the door shaping. How does the hanging rack stick to the fermenter?

 

[tangent]

as AHB members, I think it's our duty to source these in each state and territory of our wide brown land with some green bits, girt by sea. :beer:

what's the cheapest manufacturer in a heap of locations to save on freight. thanks to Asher i've found my 2007 project

 

[Asher]

Like GL said, how do you get the hanging rack on to the fermenter?

The tank comes with brass threads (three on each side) moulded into the cylinder wall so it can be mounted onto a frame. The tank itself is about 8mm thick plastic. Inside the tank there are smooth lumps where the brass threads are. so no problems sterilising or cleaning

Was looking at Rota Molding's prices and the 100L is listed as $306

I was expecting to pay that price but the dude only wanted $260 for a cash sale. Still got an invoice and that price included GST ....

Tank has brass threads cast into plastic to attach to any frame.... I welded up a couple of plates with 3 cleats on each side and bolted to the tank. These match the old fridge shelving slots - So it just slots in c/w minor height adjustments

Was there any movement on a bulk buy for these babies... looks like a nice option, especially considering the size.

finally... My 100 litre plastic cylindroconical tank (will only use it for 60l though)

SS 3piece valves & rotatable racking tube
temp controlled fridge - its a tight fit... Welded up some brackes so the tank just slides in where the old shelving was

Asher for now

Asher, do you know the model and size of that fridge? I have a 210L that looks exactly the same...
