GLS - Glass Lined Steel Tanks & Silos
Highest corrosion resistance, fast and easy erection, possibility to remodel, extend and dismantle, maintenance free, long lifetime, cost effective, easy transport.
Advantages of Glass-Lined-Steel-Tanks
- Cost effectiveness: Low investment costs and minimal costs of maintenance.
- Small weight of carriage: Due to the small measures and weights, it is possible to deliver bigger plants over great distances economically priced.
- Numerous applications: The chemical resistance of the Enamel affords the application with very aggressive media.
- Quick assembly: By experienced assemblers with specific tools within shortest time - all-the-year. Quick and clean assembly is assured by a settlement of the project from our engineers.
- Adaptability: The tank is available in 4 colours and very adaptable to the environment.
- Sunfast: Enamelled surfaces can durable be exposed to an intensive insolation. Actually UV-exposure is not able to fade the colour of the enamel.
- Subsequently modification of utilisation: An extension or treatment is also realisable after years.
- Flexibility: Adaptability to remodel, extend and dismantle the tank
- Free of maintenance: Durable corrosion prevention due to the enamel redundantise maintenance.
- Environmentally friendly: Enamel is manufactured from natural resources and employs environmentally friendly manufacturing and processing practices.
- Fully recyclable: All components are fully recyclable.
- Climate- and weather resistant: Enamel is frost resistant to -60°C and thermally stable to +450°C. Within this range the characteristics of the enamel remain.
- Non combustible: Enamel is not combustible and don't release toxic steams actually not at direct contact with fire, (class A according to DIN 4102)
- Dimensionally stable: Due to the combination of the composite enamel and the steel.
- Glass-hard and scratch resistant: Due to the constitution of the surface, enamel is not inferior in view to the typical tightness of glass against abrasion. Thus, the glass-hard surface of the enamel is very tough.
- Graffiti resistant: Enamel is paint-resistant. Glue and other chemicals can be removed easily.
- Hygienic: Numerous tests demonstrate that there is no culture medium for bacteria and other organisms at enamelled surfaces. So the plane enamelled surface is very hygienic.
- Soil-resisting: There is no electrostatic charge at enamelled surfaces. Flue dust will not be gravitated by the enamel in contrast to synthetic materials.
- Easy to clean: It is not possible for soil to cling to enamelled surfaces. Soilings can be wiped of easily -without polishing. You don't need any cleaning agent.
- Physiological harmless: Enamelled tanks for foodstuffs don't contain any questionable materials.
Why `GLS Tanks`!
The qualitative total product, the tank, the silo, comprises many technical details.
Glass Coating
To protect against corrosion!!!
Class fused to steel results in highest corrosion resistance combined with strenght and flexibility!!!!
Process: In the enamelling furnace the powder coated steel sheets are heated up to approx. 860 degrees celsius. At this temperature the enamel powder melts, thus forming a corrosion resistant fusion with the surface of the metal. This glass-like, extremely resistant enamel coating permanently protects the steel surface.
Base Connection
The Link Between Tank And Foundation!!!
Four different connection systems are available:
- ring groove - connection
- stabilisation ring - connection
- flat - connection
- deep rebate - connection
Insulation
For the thermal insolation of a container, tank or digester is a professional specialized knowledge necessary. So that no thermal bridges come up, becomes e.g. considered on a professional, intensified insolation with double stand fold according to DIN standard within the range of the roof beams. Based on some example photos there's the current insolation standard with competent gluing of the impacts and at the storage.
Standard Configuration:
- Standard-Insulation thickness: 100mm (mineral wool)
Versions:
- Standard: hot dip galvanised/coated steel - trapezoid shaped steel sheets
- Special Model: coated aluminium - trapezoid shaped steel sheets
Standard Colours:
- RAL 9002 – gray white
- RAL 9006 – white aluminium
- RAL 7032 – pebble gray
- RAL 7035 – light gray
- RAL 6011 – reseda green
- RAL 5010 – gentian blue
Edges
Edge Protection
A sealant is applied round the edges. This is very important for non-deburred panels.
Deburred and Enamelled
The panel edges are deburred. This guarantees a consistent enamel-coating even on the edges.
Protection sheet
To protect the enamel coating!!!
In the factory the protection sheets are affixed to the vertical sides of each enamelled panel. This gives additional protection to the enamel coating.
material: A2 or A4
Screw Joint
The panels are fixed together with special screws.
Following materials are available:
- Hot dip galvanized tank bolts
- Tank bolts in A2 (1.4301)
- Tank bolts in A4 (1.4571)

Did you know
...that, our tanks offer a series of advantages and unique features:
GLS Tanks International is certified according to ISO 9001:2008.
Our unique chequered panel arrangement guarantees tightness by overlapping metal and not only by seal material. This allows a quick replacement of single panels. No problem to extend or relocate the entire tank.
Our enamel powders are applied dry under electrostatic conditions before burning at our PUESTA enameling process. This results in a hard-wearing and even surface with highest corrosion resistance.
The enamel fish scale pattern resulting from hydrogen diffusion are avoided by use of our own special steel places.
Stainless steel bolts, nuts & washers brings you an outstanding corrosion resistance and are solely available at GLS Tanks International.
Direct contact between attachment parts and glass lined steel panels is totally avoided by means of our EPDM pad enamel protection. Thereby we can guarantee a higher durability.
We round off the edges of the panels before the enamelling process in order to guarantee an comprehensive enamel coating on the panel edges as well.
We tailor-made your individual containment solution from scratch by means of our excellent engineering services.
The financial benefits of our tanks are low maintenance costs, low asset depreciation, no downtime, bespoke service contracts, extended warranty period.
GLS is Going Green. Toxic nickel and pickling baths have been abandoned by GLS Tanks International. Thereby we comply with latest European environmental legislations.
GLS Tanks International is approved as specialist firm according the Water Resources Law.
