A new, browser-based tool that is said to simplify and optimize the planning and design of tanks has been launched.

MyTank Configurator from Ziemann Holvrieka is aimed at companies in the beverage, liquid food and biotech industries, ranging from independent companies and corporations to planning offices and research institutes.

The tool enables users to define their individual tank requirements directly online. Using an intuitive user interface, they can enter basic geometric data and add other design parameters such as thermal treatment, pressure ratios, material selection and design standards.

One special highlight is the automatically generated dynamic tank display in real time. It not only shows all the relevant dimensions, but also the total and usable. A 3D view that’s ideal for initial layout planning and simple 3D models is also generated.

During all project phases, MyTank Configurator helps planners and managers to make solidly-founded decisions – and especially at the outset. The generated data can be transferred directly into the user’s preliminary planning and forwarded to Ziemann Holvrieka for a specific request. This provides the tank experts with a lot of relevant information that enables them to create a quick and precise offer.

The company said: “The new tool is suitable for anyone who needs tanks – regardless of industry or company size. This particularly includes breweries, producers of spirits, dairy products and edible oils, as well as companies from the juice logistics, new food, precision fermentation and pharmaceutical sectors.

“Planning and engineering offices, university chairs and technical universities also benefit from MyTank Configurator.”
