What is a Settling Tank?

Settling Tank:

A settling tank is designed to arrest waste product such as waterborne clay and plaster particles in order to prevent blockage of downstream drainage pipes. Settling tanks are also known as plaster traps.

Settling tanks are used in art and craft workshops, dental/medical laboratories or wherever solids are combined with liquids.  The most common size plaster trap is 72 litres for a single sink. However, the most appropriate size (capacity) tank will be nominated by your local water authority under your trade waste agreement.  72 litre settling tanks are often mounted on a dolly trolley for wheeling the tank to different locations.

Viking Plastics can fabricate large tanks to special order.  If you have space limitations, custom tanks of equivalent capacity can be made to fit available space.
