Nutch & Pickling Tank
What is
an HDPE / PP Nutch & Pickling Tank?
An HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) / PP (Polypropylene)Nutch & Pickling Tank is a heavy-duty, chemical-resistant storage and
processing unit used primarily in chemical, metal, pharmaceutical, and
electroplating industries. These tanks are specially designed for acid
pickling, chemical soaking, and solid-liquid separation
processes.
The tanks are fabricated from thermoplastic sheets (HDPEor PP) using butt-welding or extrusion welding methods. They offer
excellent corrosion resistance, high durability, and are ideal for handling acidic,
alkaline, or corrosive materials. Nutch filters may also come with stirrers
or filtration systems.

Working
Principle of Nutch & Pickling Tanks
- Pickling
Tank Working:
Metals are submerged in acid solutions (like HCl or H₂SO₄) to remove rust,
mill scale, or oxides. After soaking, components are rinsed and dried for
further processing like plating or painting.
- Nutch
Filter Tank Working:
In a closed vessel system, slurry is agitated and filtered using vacuum or
pressure. The solid cake remains in the tank while filtered liquid passes
through the outlet. Ideal for small-batch filtration in pharma and
chemical industries.
