For high-mix B2B metal fabricators, managing thousands of unique part numbers while maintaining strict repeatable accuracy is a major production bottleneck. In the custom tank manufacturing sector, this challenge is intensified by the shifting demand between traditional cylindrical vessels and complex, non-cylindrical shapes.
Based in Harvard, Illinois, AlumiTank is a premier aluminum fabrication specialist producing both pressurized and non-pressurized tanks. Serving demanding sectors—including heavy-duty Class 8 truck OEMs, railroads, mining, and military applications—the company manages an active catalog of over 8,000 custom part numbers, a figure that grows weekly. Turning these highly customized designs around with speed and structural integrity requires plate rolling technology that eliminates manual guesswork, minimizes setup times, and ensures extreme dimensional accuracy.
Over Half a Million Tanks and Counting
The durability and reliability of Davi technology are best demonstrated by AlumiTank's first Davi MCA 2517 plate roll. Working in a demanding industrial environment, this single machine reliably rolled over 500,000 tanks before receiving its recent control system upgrade—providing an exceptional return on investment and proving the extreme longevity of Davi's design and mechanical components.
