This page explains how Brine Tank is classified within Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing. Technical values and manufacturer relationships are research references; confirm the current specification and supplier evidence for each order.
A container that holds and stores brine solution for the regeneration process in a water softener system.
Technical details and manufacturing context for Brine Tank
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 100–5000 L | Select based on resin volume and regeneration frequency |
| Operating Pressure | 0.2–0.6 MPa | Below 0.2 MPa may cause insufficient brine draw |
| Operating Temperature | 1–40 °C | Above 40°C may deform plastic components |
| Wall Thickness | 5–12 mm | Thicker walls for larger tanks to ensure rigidity |
| Material | PE, PP | Food-grade PE for potable water systemsGB/T 11115 |
| Weight | 5–150 kg | Depends on capacity and wall thickness |
| Inlet/Outlet Diameter | 25–63 mm | Match piping size for proper flowISO 228 |
| Tolerance | ±2 mm | Ensures proper fit with softener components |
| Salt Storage Capacity | 50–2000 kg | Determines time between salt refills |
| Max Humidity | 95 % RH | Non-condensing; higher humidity may cause corrosionIEC 60068-2-78 |
Ranges are indicative industry figures for RFQ preparation, not a supplier commitment. Confirm every value and standard with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
This component is essential for the following industrial systems and equipment:
| pressure: | Atmospheric (vented) - 0 psig |
| flow rate: | N/A (static storage vessel) |
| temperature: | 5°C to 40°C (41°F to 104°F) |
| slurry concentration: | Up to 26% NaCl saturation (typical brine solution) |
Indicative industry ranges for design and RFQ preparation. Confirm the exact figures and applicable standard with the manufacturer before specifying.

A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
Common materials include polyethylene (PE), fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP), polypropylene (PP), and stainless steel. The choice depends on the application, chemical compatibility, and structural requirements. For potable water systems, food-grade PE is often specified per GB/T 11115.
Capacity should be based on the resin volume and regeneration frequency. The reference range is 100–5000 liters. Larger tanks allow longer intervals between salt refills but require more space. Consult the water softener manufacturer for sizing recommendations.
Typical operating pressure is 0.2–0.6 MPa, and operating temperature is 1–40°C. Pressures below 0.2 MPa may cause insufficient brine draw, while temperatures above 40°C may deform plastic components. Always verify with the supplier.
Regular maintenance includes checking salt levels, cleaning the tank to prevent salt bridging or buildup, and inspecting for leaks or corrosion. Ensure the brine draw line is clear and the control valve functions properly. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines.
