Conical heads for industrial tanks

We manufacture custom conical heads for industrial tanks, vessels and equipment, according to the drawings, dimensions and technical specifications of each project.

Conical heads are a common solution when the equipment geometry needs to facilitate discharge, emptying or directing the product towards a particular area of the tank.

What is a conical head?

A conical head has an inclined geometry that converges towards a point or outlet opening. Its configuration can be adapted to the construction and functional needs of the tank.

This type of head is used in different industrial applications, such as:

  • Process tanks.
  • Storage tanks.
  • Hoppers.
  • Mixing equipment.
  • Vessels for solid or liquid products.
  • Industrial equipment.

The final geometry is manufactured according to the requirements established by the engineering company or equipment manufacturer.

Custom manufacture of conical heads to drawings

Each project starts with the technical documentation provided by the customer.

Our team assesses the main parameters of the head to determine manufacturing feasibility:

  • Diameter.
  • Cone height and geometry.
  • Thickness.
  • Material.
  • Tolerances.
  • Openings or connections, where specified.
  • Edge preparation.
  • Surface finish.

We can manufacture special components and heads for subsequent integration into tanks, hoppers and other industrial assemblies.

Stainless steel conical heads with special finishes

When a project requires a stainless steel conical head, we can complement manufacturing with surface finishing operations.

We have in-house resources for sanitary and mirror polishing, as well as for controlling Ra roughness using a MITUTOYO roughness tester when required by the equipment specifications.

We can also prepare and bevel the edges to facilitate subsequent integration of the head into the welded assembly.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about conical heads

What is a conical head used for?

It is commonly used in tanks, hoppers and equipment where the conical geometry facilitates discharge or directs the product towards an outlet.
