The Need For Baffle Balls

by | Feb 16, 2018 | Spraying Equipment |

While their name may seem a little funny and you may think they’re used to confuse others in sports, baffle balls are an essential part of tank management.

When you use a variety of tanks onsite to hold or transport liquid, you need to ensure that it will remain stable. For example, when you mount it on an ATV trailer or the back of a truck, the container will likely move with the curves. The polyethylene material used to make the tank will allow it to do so safely, but, as an added protective barrier, the ball can be used, as well.

Baffle balls are usually flat pieces of plastic or other material that are snapped together to form the ball shape. They can help you reduce mechanical wear and can be used on almost any type of tank, including aluminium and fibreglass. If you are transporting water that will be ingested, the ball baffles are food-grade quality, which means you can use them around or for food-related purposes. They can also be used around chemicals and fuel, which means they’re versatile. You’ll find two sizes available for use, such as the 195 and 355mm. You should use one ball per seven or 40 litres of capacity, respectively.

At Tank Management Services, they realise that you may have to transport liquid from one area to another. Their hope is that you do so safely by using UV-stabilised polyethylene tanks, which they have available for purchase. They also carry the ball baffles to put inside the tanks, ensuring that the fluid doesn’t move around too much and overturn the vehicle that is transporting it. Their baffle balls are designed to be lightweight and highly durable. They also ensure that they won’t rust and have a low liquid displacement feature.
