Our Solution to Specialized Tank Fabrication Systems
Tank welding and fabrication calls for a unique set of features that aren’t typical of other welding jobs. With cylindrical construction and walls sometimes greater than 1” thick, tank welding systems often require:
- Steady, continuous motion
- Large work piece capacity
- Vertical, horizontal, and circumference welding
- Deep weld penetration
Koike Aronson provides a variety of fabrication systems to weld tanks with efficiency and precision. Our 3 major lines of tank fabrication equipment include:
Shell Buggy
The Shell Buggy series is ideal for horizontal & vertical welding on up to 10’ plates.
VUP
The VUP Vertical Up Welder is designed for vertical welds up to 1” deep on cylindrical tanks.
AGW
The AGW line offers a selection of Automatic Girth Welders for horizontal tank welds, or girth welds, with options for single-sided or dual-sided operation.
