Krampitz Flounder: Flat foundation tanks for generator construction

The flat, foundation-like design of belly tanks is gaining increasing importance in modern generator construction . Particularly in large diesel generators and complex energy systems, the tank is used directly as a load-bearing component of the overall system. The Krampitz "Flunder" combines fuel supply, foundation, and system structure into a compact system solution.

Belly tanks for large generator systems

The KCD-FL "Flunder" belly tanks are specifically designed for generators, machine superstructures, and mobile power supply systems. Their low profile allows for space-saving integration under machine and container superstructures. Learn more about the KCD-FL "Flunder" belly tanks.

Flat design – technically sophisticated construction

A shallow foundation tank is significantly more complex to construct than a conventional storage tank. In particular, the connections, heat effects, stability, and static loads must be considered during the design process. With large equipment systems, considerable forces act on the tank structure, making precise design and manufacturing crucial.

The KCD-FL foundation tank features a robust steel structure capable of supporting heavy machinery containers and additional plant equipment. This makes the Krampitz Flunder particularly suitable for demanding applications in plant engineering.

Belly tank as state of the art in generator construction

The increasing prevalence of shallow foundation tanks reflects the trend towards space-saving and integrated plant concepts. Especially with large generator sets and power plants, the combination of tank and superstructure results in compact systems with optimal space utilization.

Krampitz also produces space-saving modular container systems with belly tanks for large diesel generators . The combination of a foundation tank, machine container, and additional tank and plant technology allows for the implementation of complex energy supply systems on a compact footprint.

Krampitz Flounder for generators and machine containers

In addition to the KCD-FL, Krampitz also offers special generator belly tanks in the KTD-FL series . These solutions are designed for the direct mounting of diesel generators on the tank and are particularly suitable for use in machine containers or buildings. View KTD-FL generator belly tanks.

Flat storage tank containers are also part of the product range. The double-walled KCD-FL tanks can be used to supply machines and generators with diesel, heating oil, or HVO.

Individual solutions for powertrain construction

As the size and complexity of generator systems increase, so do the demands placed on the tank, supporting structure, and plant integration. Krampitz therefore develops customized belly tanks, foundation tanks, and tank containers for various applications in generator and plant engineering.

For a complete system solution, Krampitz EQUIPMENT is also available for tank systems with pumps, level sensors and other tank accessories.
