C.7. CHEMICAL CONTAINERS
Mid-Tech tanks are ideal containers for handling raw chemicals. Alternative containers can also be used, such as
permanently mounted cone bottomed tanks. Whatever chemical container will be used, it is important to select a large
enough tank to cover a normal area at the expected application rates. This is particularly true with permanently mounted
chemical tanks. Since Mid-Tech tanks are easily removed and exchanged in the field, spare tanks can be available to the
operator.
C.7.1. MOUNTING AND PLUMBING MID-TECH TANKS
MIDWEST TECHNOLOGIES provides an optional stainless steel rack for securing Mid-Tach tanks to the spraying
vehicle. The largest rack is approximately 18 inches by 19 inches and has been punched with holes for 5/16" carriage
bolts. Each large rack will hold two 7.5 gallon or one 25 gallon Mid-Tach tank. A smaller rack is available for a single
7.5 gallon Mid-Tach tank. The smaller rack is approximately 18 inches by 9.5 inches. The Mid-Tech tanks fit tightly into
the racks and are secured in place with a tab and clip mechanism.
The rack should be mounted to the vehicle so that it is level during normal vehicle operation. The tanks should be
located as close to the injection pumps as possible to keep product lines short. The rack should be mounted in such a
manner that the operator can easily lift the tanks in and out when changing. In some instances it may be necessary to
fabricate additional support for the tank rack.
