As an experienced manufacturer, Xiamen Jiedeng Machinery has launched Mining Truck air tank. We have elaborated in detail from multiple perspectives on the design logic of this product and its applicability in industrial and mining scenarios, including the mechanical design advantages of the cylindrical structure, the supporting principle of the air storage tank in the braking system, the practical value of the drainage valve's protection, as well as the differences in weight and cost between the aluminum and iron tank bodies.
The Mining Truck air tank factory direct of Xiamen Jiedeng Machinery adopts a classic cylindrical structure, with
uniform force distribution and no stress concentration, effectively preventing the tank from cracking and leaking.
The manufacturing process is solid, resistant to vibration deformation, and can stably store high-pressure gas
sources, ensuring the sensitive and reliable braking of commercial vehicles.
It is equipped with a drainage valve,
which can discharge water, gasoline, oil, and other contaminants, as well as prevent corrosion and clogging.
It is
available in both aluminum and iron styles, balancing lightweight corrosion resistance and high cost-effectiveness,
and is suitable for various harsh working conditions of mining trucks.
Cylindrical design
Commercial vehicle air storage tanks generally adopt a cylindrical design. High-pressure gas can be evenly
distributed on the cylinder wall to withstand the force, avoiding the stress concentration problem at the corners of
the square tank body, thereby reducing the risks of cracking and leakage from the root cause.
The cylindrical structure saves materials, has a lighter weight, has mature and stable welding technology, and can
also be installed in the narrow space of the chassis, with stronger resistance to vehicle jolts and deformation. The mining air storage cylinder also adopts the cylindrical design, and thanks to its excellent pressure-bearing
characteristics, it is suitable for harsh industrial and mining high-pressure conditions.
Why braking systems must have an air storage tanks?
1. To meet the demand for instantaneous gas supply: For truck pneumatic braking, a stable high-pressure gas source
is required immediately. The air compressor cannot keep up with the peak demand for braking gas, so a storage
cylinder is necessary to assist in gas supply.
2. Coordinated pressure stabilization and energy storage: The air compressor and tank for truck work together. They
store compressed air in advance to balance the fluctuations in pipeline pressure.
3. Purify the gas source: The storage cylinder can filter out moisture and impurities in the compressed air,
ensuring that the braking response is sensitive and the braking force is stable.
4. Ensure driving safety: Reduce gas line failure problems, avoid the risk of braking failure, and comprehensively
guarantee the driving safety of commercial vehicles.
Why is a drain valve installed in the air tank?
1. The air source is prone to accumulating impurities and water: During the compression process of air, water vapor
condenses and oil contaminants are mixed in, which tend to accumulate at the bottom of the air reservoir.
2. It can easily cause safety hazards: The accumulated water will corrode the cylinder wall, rust the brake
pipelines and valve body. In winter, freezing will also block the air path, causing brake failure.
3. Practical function of the drain valve: It can regularly remove water and oil contaminants, purify the internal
air source, and effectively extend the service life of air path components.
4. Industry standard configuration: Mainstream universal air tanks for trucks are all equipped with a drain valve,
and it is an indispensable and important component of the air brake system.
The differences between aluminum air tank and iron air tank
In the aftermarket truck air tanks market, the two types of air tanks have significant differences in their
positioning.
The iron model focuses on affordability and practicality, while the aluminum model emphasizes
lightweight design, corrosion resistance, and high-quality requirements.
Item
iron air tank
aluminum air tank
Weight
The weight of the same specification is relatively high.
It can be reduced by more than 30%, and the lightweight advantage is remarkable.
Cost & Price
Low raw material and processing costs, reasonable prices
The cost of aluminum materials and processing is high, and the market price is even higher.
Antiseptic Property
It is prone to rust and corrosion, so it needs to be protected with spray painting and electroscopic coating.
It has inherent anti-corrosion properties and is not prone to rusting, making it durable.
Application
General freight transportation, regular commercial vehicles, emphasizing high cost-effectiveness
High-end commercial vehicles and mining vehicles, focusing on weight reduction, energy saving and
long-term durability
