Randy mckinney Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Not sure were this should be posted. Does anybody know anything about baffle balls for a tanker? Do they really work?

Underdog Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I don't know anything about baffle balls, but I did pass by the Wiffle Ball factory in Shelton, CT last week.Gregg 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39261-baffle-balls/#findComment-282614 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Can't help you. Sort of looks like a Wiffle ball. Going to need a bigger bat though.https://www.dultmeier.com/products/0.920.2421.4808/2490 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Brocky Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Might work with some products, BUT cleaning and possible contaminations would be a nightmare!!!

Keffer inc Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I don't know by experience, but I see no problems with them as long as your cargo is the same, like already said, cleaning would suck, They would likely slow loading and unloading times as well...

Green Dash Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 "Not recommended for agitating wettable powder solutions or for tanks requiring complete washout when switching chemical solutions"According to the equation they provided, an 8000 gallon tank would require 600 of them?? That's 1200 pounds in payload lost. Plus you have the washout issue and some customers might not want them swimming around in their product. I'm curious if they will catch on.

Randy mckinney Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 I have an old milk tank turned in to a water truck for pool water an was lookin at puttin baffles in tank an came acrosed these baffle balls and it would take about $1600 worth of baffle balls. If they work i dont think i could have baffles welded in for that price.

Green Dash Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 You situation addresses the concerns that I brought up. You may have already seen this but here's a small scale test from a manufacturer. It looks like the initial surge is still there but the liquid settles quickly.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcmsTtxSKQA Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39261-baffle-balls/#findComment-282679 Share on other sites More sharing options...
