Center Enamel: China’s Premier Manufacturer of Bolted Steel Tanks – A Legacy of Excellence, Innovation, and Global Trust
In an era defined by rapid urbanization, industrial expansion, and an increasing global demand for reliable infrastructure, the need for robust and efficient storage solutions has never been more critical. From ensuring access to clean drinking water and safely treating wastewater to storing vital industrial chemicals and agricultural resources, the integrity of containment systems underpins the very fabric of modern society. At the forefront of this essential industry, setting benchmarks for quality, innovation, and global reach, stands Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd, known globally as Center Enamel.
Since its establishment in 2008, Center Enamel has not merely participated in the bolted storage tank industry; it has profoundly shaped it. With a legacy that stretches back to 2008 as a pioneer in enameled products, Center Enamel has evolved into China's undisputed premier manufacturer of bolted steel tanks, a reputation earned through relentless dedication to engineering excellence, groundbreaking technological advancements, and an unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction across more than 100 countries worldwide.
The Foundation of Leadership: Unparalleled Expertise in Bolted Tank Solutions
What does it mean to be "premier" in such a demanding field? For Center Enamel, it signifies a multifaceted superiority encompassing product diversity, technological leadership, stringent quality control, and a deep understanding of global market needs. Our extensive product portfolio is designed to meet the diverse requirements of municipal, industrial, agricultural, and environmental sectors, including:
Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) Tanks: Our flagship product, renowned for its exceptional durability and corrosion resistance.
Fusion Bonded Epoxy Tanks: A robust and cost-effective alternative for various applications.
Stainless Steel Tanks: Ideal for high-purity applications and corrosive substances.
Galvanized Steel Tanks: Economical and reliable for general storage needs.
Aluminum Geodesic Dome Roofs: The perfect complementary cover system for our tanks, offering superior strength and environmental protection.
This comprehensive range underscores our capability to provide tailored solutions, but it is our mastery of Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) technology that truly sets us apart.
The GFS Advantage: Where Durability Meets Innovation
Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) technology, also known as Glass-Lined-Steel (GLS) or Enamel Steel, represents the pinnacle of storage tank construction. It involves fusing a high-inertia glass coating to a hot-rolled steel plate at temperatures exceeding 800°C (1500°F), creating an inseparable bond of two materials – the strength and flexibility of steel combined with the corrosion resistance of glass. This process results in a tank material that is virtually impermeable, highly resistant to abrasion, and capable of withstanding extreme temperatures and aggressive chemicals, making it ideal for long-term storage of a wide array of liquids and dry bulk materials.
Center Enamel's leadership in GFS is not just about producing tanks; it's about pioneering the very technology. We are not only the first manufacturer in China to produce Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks, but we are also the most experienced in Asia. This first-mover advantage, coupled with continuous investment in research and development, has allowed us to achieve remarkable milestones:
The First to Innovate Double-Sided Enameling: Center Enamel is the first manufacturer in China to independently develop double-sided enameling technology for hot-rolled steel plates. This proprietary breakthrough ensures uniform and superior corrosion resistance on both interior and exterior surfaces, extending tank life and performance significantly.
Nearly 200 Enameling Patents: Our dedication to R&D is quantifiable through our vast portfolio of nearly 200 enameling patents. This demonstrates our deep technical expertise and our continuous pursuit of perfection in coating technology, distinguishing us from competitors.
Setting the Standard, Not Just Meeting It: Our engineering and design, product testing, and quality systems are in strict accordance with the most rigorous international standards, including AWWA D103-09, OSHA, ISO 28765, NSF/ANSI 61, NFPA, and EUROCODE. This commitment to compliance ensures that every Center Enamel tank meets the highest global benchmarks for safety, reliability, and environmental protection.
A Track Record of Global Trust: From Asia to the Americas
The superior quality and reliability of Center Enamel tanks are not just claims; they are validated by our expansive global footprint. Until 2023, Center Enamel bolted tanks have been exported to more than 100 countries, spanning diverse geographies and industries, including the USA, Australia, Canada, Malaysia, Indonesia, Russia, UAE, Panama, Brazil, and South Africa. This widespread acceptance, particularly in highly regulated markets like the USA, where we are the only GFS tanks manufacturer in China widely accepted for many years, speaks volumes about our product's performance and our company's trustworthiness.
Our project case studies are a testament to our capabilities. From installing the highest GFS tank at 34.8m in 2017 to designing and fabricating the largest GFS tank (32,000m³) in 2024 – breaking our own record from 2020 for the largest single tank volume (21,094m³) in Asia – we consistently push the boundaries of what is possible in bolted tank construction. These milestones are not just about size; they represent our ability to handle complex engineering challenges and deliver robust, large-scale storage solutions that meet the evolving demands of our global clientele.
