As a leading factory and wholesaler of aluminium plates for tank trucks, Huasheng Aluminum offers top-quality aluminium plates that meet the highest industry standards. شاحنات الصهريج, especially those used to transport liquids like fuel, مواد كيميائية, والمنتجات الغذائية, require materials that are lightweight yet durable. الألومنيوم, with its excellent properties such as corrosion resistance, قوة, and malleability, has become the ideal choice for tank truck manufacturing.
Why Aluminium Plate for Tank Trucks?
Aluminium is widely used in the manufacturing of tank trucks due to its unique properties that offer significant advantages over other materials like steel. Some of the key benefits of using aluminium plate for tank trucks include:
- وزن خفيف: Aluminium weighs only about one-third of steel, which helps reduce the overall weight of the truck, improving fuel efficiency and payload capacity.
- المقاومة للتآكل: Aluminium naturally forms a protective oxide layer, making it highly resistant to corrosion, which is essential for transporting corrosive liquids or for use in harsh environments.
- نسبة عالية من القوة إلى الوزن: Aluminium offers excellent strength while remaining lightweight, providing the necessary structural integrity for tank trucks.
- القابلية للتشكيل: Aluminium is highly malleable and can be easily formed into complex shapes, making it ideal for the curved designs of tank truck bodies.
- قابلية إعادة التدوير: Aluminium is 100% قابلة لإعادة التدوير دون أن تفقد خصائصها, making it a sustainable choice for manufacturers and an eco-friendly option for the environment.

Common Applications of Aluminium Plate in Tank Trucks
Aluminium plates from Huasheng Aluminum are used in various parts of tank trucks, depending on the specific requirements of the transport vehicle:
- Tank Body: The most critical component, the tank body, is made from aluminium plates due to the metal’s lightweight and corrosion-resistant properties. This ensures safe transport of liquid cargo without the risk of contamination or deterioration.
- End Heads: Aluminium plates are also used for the end heads of tank trucks, which are responsible for sealing the cargo. High-strength aluminium alloys such as 5083 أو 5454 are preferred for this purpose.
- Internal Baffles: These baffles help in controlling the movement of the liquid during transport, and aluminium’s formability allows for the creation of efficient internal structures.
- Bulkheads and Tank Compartments: Aluminium plates are used to create compartments within the tank truck, enabling it to carry multiple types of liquid cargo in a single trip.

Production Process of Aluminium Plates for Tank Trucks
في هوا شنج للألمنيوم, we follow a strict production process to ensure that our aluminium plates meet the highest standards of quality. The production process for aluminium plates for tank trucks involves several key steps:
- اختيار المواد الخام: We source premium aluminium ingots that meet industry specifications for tank truck applications.
- الدرفلة على الساخن: The aluminium ingots are heated and passed through a series of rollers to achieve the desired thickness.
- التلدين: After hot rolling, the aluminium plates undergo an annealing process to enhance their ductility and remove internal stresses.
- المتداول الباردة: The plates are further processed through cold rolling to achieve the required final thickness and improve surface finish.
- المعالجة السطحية: اعتمادا على متطلبات العملاء, the aluminium plates can undergo surface treatments such as anodizing or coating to enhance their appearance and corrosion resistance.
- رقابة جودة: Each plate is subjected to rigorous quality checks to ensure that it meets the specified mechanical and chemical properties.
