Our 7-Step Quality Assurance Process
Every tank that passes through our facility undergoes a rigorous inspection and reconditioning process. Here's exactly how we ensure you receive quality products every time.
Initial Assessment
Every incoming tank undergoes a preliminary visual inspection to identify obvious damage, contamination, or wear. We document the tank's history and previous contents when available.
Thorough Cleaning
Tanks are cleaned using industry-standard procedures appropriate for their previous contents. Food-grade tanks receive specialized sanitization to meet FDA requirements.
Structural Inspection
Our technicians examine the cage framework, welds, and pallet base for structural integrity. We check for rust, corrosion, bent bars, and compromised welds.
Bottle Integrity Check
The inner plastic bottle is inspected for cracks, discoloration, warping, and chemical degradation. We use UV light inspection for detecting micro-fractures.
Valve and Fitting Test
All valves, gaskets, and fittings are tested for proper operation and leak-free performance. Worn components are replaced with new OEM-spec parts.
Pressure Testing
Tanks are pressure tested to ensure they can safely handle their rated capacity without leakage or structural failure.
Documentation
Each tank receives a quality certification document detailing its inspection results, grade classification, and recommended applications.
Certifications & Industry Standards
We maintain strict compliance with industry regulations and standards. These certifications demonstrate our commitment to quality, safety, and environmental responsibility.

Real examples of how we've helped businesses optimize their IBC tank operations, reduce costs, and achieve their goals.
Chemical Manufacturing Company
The Challenge
A regional chemical manufacturer was spending over $200 per tank buying new IBCs, putting pressure on their operating budget while accumulating a yard full of used tanks.
Our Solution
We implemented a complete tank lifecycle program: buying their used tanks at fair market value, reconditioning suitable units, and selling them back quality-graded tanks at 40-60% savings.
The Results
- Annual savings of $45,000+ on container costs
- Eliminated tank storage and disposal headaches
- Reduced environmental footprint
- Streamlined procurement process
Food Processing Facility
The Challenge
A food processing company needed a reliable supply of food-grade certified tanks but struggled to find consistent quality from various suppliers.
Our Solution
We became their exclusive tank supplier, providing certified food-grade containers with complete documentation. We established a regular delivery schedule aligned with their production needs.
The Results
- Zero quality rejections in 18 months
- Consistent supply chain with 99% on-time delivery
- 35% cost reduction vs. previous supplier
- Simplified compliance documentation
Agricultural Cooperative
The Challenge
A farming cooperative needed seasonal tank capacity for fertilizer and pesticide storage but couldn't justify the capital expense of buying new tanks that would sit idle much of the year.
Our Solution
We created a flexible purchase-and-buyback arrangement, supplying quality tanks at the start of each season and repurchasing them afterward at a predetermined rate.
The Results
- Reduced capital investment by 60%
- No off-season storage costs
- Flexible capacity based on actual needs
- Tanks always in peak condition for season start
