Aluminum combi tanks usually consist of two chambers. The chambers are used to separate different fuels or liquids. For example, combi tanks are used for the removal and storage of diesel and hydraulic oil in machines, plants and vehicle technology (vehicles). This combination in one tank unit is particularly suitable for tight spaces.
In addition to the legal requirements, aluminum combination tanks have to meet a large number of other requirements. Constant mechanical stresses, vibrations and temperature fluctuations present aluminum combi tanks with particular challenges in daily use. Added to this are the demands placed on strength by complicated designs for maximum filling volume.
We only produce individual solutions for orders of at least 50 pieces
NovaNox® develops and produces individual aluminum combination tanks for manufacturers of machines, plants and vehicle technology. Our customers trust our many years of experience in tank technology. With our modern manufacturing capabilities, we realize combi tanks for every installation situation - whether with simple or complex geometries.
NovaNox® aluminum combi tanks always fit individually to the installation possibilities. This is why we can effectively utilize even particularly tight installation spaces. At the same time, the filling volume of the combi tank is used to the maximum.
As a system supplier, we provide you with ready-to-install system solutions ranging from tank lids, gauges, sensors or fuel filters to complete aluminum combi tanks. We provide you with component procurement with full cost transparency as well as deadline monitoring, quality control and final assembly.
With this process takeover we achieve the highest fitting accuracy. The high fitting accuracy enables a very comfortable final assembly and reduces the assembly times to a minimum. The direct procurement channels make the entire supply chain highly efficient and significantly more profitable.
In contrast to the usual aluminum combi tanks, lightweight NovaNox® combi tanks are made of high-quality thin aluminum sheet. This feature ensures considerable weight savings, especially in automotive and aerospace applications. Weight reduction means less fuel consumption and consequently lower operating costs.
Regardless of the lightweight construction, our aluminum combi tanks made of thin sheet have high strength. This quality feature is ensured by our own welding process planning.

Manual welding
As a welding company, we work with qualified personnel and draw on our many years of experience in welding technology. We work with the automated welding process and also manufacture hand-welded aluminum combination tanks. The manual welding process is recommended as a cost-effective, time-saving choice for one-off productions as well as small and medium-sized series. Hand-welded aluminum combination tanks are produced on current welding tables. Our own fixture construction ensures dimensional accuracy. Repeatability can also be permanently met even with high tolerances.
Automated welding
The automated welding process is implemented by our state-of-the-art welding robots. Automated production is very fast and efficient. This pays off especially for high requirements that are to be produced cost-effectively with consistent quality at all times. The automated welding process offers the highest possible precision. This means that even very complex aluminum combi tanks with high tolerance requirements can be welded.
Surface treatments perfect durability, safety and appearance. A long-term corrosion-free, protected and stable surface promotes the durability of aluminum combination tanks. Surface finishes also give aluminum combination tanks a more pleasing appearance. With our own powder coating and painting facility, surfaces in all RAL colors can be finished quickly and to a high standard. For effective corrosion protection, we apply heat-resistant paints, powder coatings as well as pickling and passivation.
We examine the structural strength, fatigue strength and material efficiency of your design, among other things, already in the initial development phases with the help of FEM calculations. This gives you peace of mind during the test phases and also after your product has been put into operation by your customers. In doing so, we digitally illustrate the consequences of different mechanical, thermal and electrical impacts through linear and non-linear structural-mechanical modeling. This allows us to estimate the effects of the various loads on the entire product or component for any more or less complex geometry before we build prototypes.
The results of these considerations are also available as evidence for technical approvals, for product liability and production releases.
NovaNox® performs FEM calculations analytically based on general and international standards. This ensures comparability and reliable results. In detail we do for you
You will receive technical drawings from us in 2D (in dxf, dwg and pdf formats) and in 3D (in step format). Depending on your needs, you will receive from us single part drawings, assembly drawings, general drawings or assembly drawings. In addition, you will receive detailed technical documentation for revision. This gives you the chance to adjust or add details before production. Then, when the production line starts rolling, you can be sure that everything will fit perfectly and be implemented without errors.
With our comprehensive technical drawings and detailed documentation, you achieve precise communication and greater efficiency throughout your entire development and manufacturing process chain. Each process stage receives the information it needs.
In order to produce a product that is as close to real life as possible, even at the prototype stage, we work seamlessly with you on the development, planning and design of the construction, the material and the manufacturing process. This ensures the best possible results and adherence to your schedule and budget.
Finally, we analyze the results of the FAI and fine-tune the manufacturing process for maximum efficiency and cost-effectiveness. In doing so, we help to noticeably reduce implementation times and successfully go into series production as planned. This preserves your project budget and provides additional security.
