Aluminum fuel tanks are used to store fuels such as gasoline, diesel or even gas. Fuel tanks used in machines, systems and vehicle technology are connected to the combustion chamber and are thus a fundamental component of the fuel supply. In addition to the legal guidelines, aluminum fuel tanks must meet a wide range of requirements.
In daily use, aluminum fuel tanks are constantly exposed to mechanical loads, vibrations and temperature fluctuations. The strength requirements are also further increased by complex geometries for maximum filling volume.
We only produce individual solutions for orders of at least 50 pieces
With our many years of experience in tank technology, we develop and produce individual aluminum fuel tanks for manufacturers of machines, systems and vehicle technology. From simple to complex geometries, we realize fuel tanks for every installation situation with our modern manufacturing capabilities.
NovaNox® aluminum fuel tanks are therefore always individually adapted to the installation possibilities. In this way, even particularly tight installation spaces are used effectively. At the same time, the filling volume of the fuel tank is utilized to the maximum. This enables a significantly longer fuel supply for machines, systems and vehicles. Ideal conditions for increasing productivity through longer operating times.
Whether tank caps, gauges, sensors or fuel filters - as a system supplier, we deliver aluminum fuel tanks ready for assembly as a system solution. We take over component procurement with full cost transparency, as well as deadline monitoring, quality control and final assembly.
With this process takeover we adjust the fitting accuracy to a high maximum. The high accuracy of fit offers a very high level of convenience during final assembly and reduces assembly times to a minimum. The direct procurement channels also optimize the entire supply chain.
Unlike conventional fuel tanks, lightweight NovaNox® fuel tanks are made of high-quality thin aluminum sheet. This special feature offers significant weight savings, especially in automotive and aerospace applications. The weight reductions lower fuel consumption and the resulting operating costs.
Despite the lightweight design, our aluminum fuel tanks made with thin sheet have high strength. This quality feature is ensured by our in-house welding process planning.
Manual welding
As a welding company, we have trained personnel and many years of know-how in the field of welding technology. In addition to the automated welding process, we also manufacture hand-welded aluminum fuel tanks. Especially for custom-made products, as well as small and medium-sized series, the manual welding process offers a cost-effective alternative with fast turnaround times. The hand-welded aluminum fuel tanks are manufactured on modern welding tables. Dimensional accuracy is guaranteed by our own fixture construction. In addition, repeatability can be permanently met even with high tolerances.
Automated welding
We carry out the automated welding process using state-of-the-art welding robots. The automated manufacturing process enables very fast and efficient production. This is the ideal prerequisite if high requirements are to be produced cost-effectively while maintaining consistent quality. The automated welding process also offers the highest possible method of welding with extremely high precision. This means that even very complex aluminum fuel tanks with high tolerance requirements can be realized.
Surface treatments are particularly important in terms of durability, safety and appearance. The durability of aluminum fuel tanks is supported by a permanently corrosion-free, safe and solid surface. At the same time, the aluminum fuel tanks are visually enhanced. With our own powder coating and painting facility, we can realize all RAL colors quickly and in high quality. For optimal corrosion protection, we offer heat-resistant painting, powder coating, as well as pickling and passivation.
To ensure that you are on the safe side during the test phases and also after your customers have put your product into operation, we use FEM calculations to determine the structural strength, fatigue strength and material efficiency of your concept, among other things, in the early development phases. In doing so, we digitally visualize the consequences of different mechanical, thermal and electrical loads by means of linear and non-linear structural-mechanical calculations. The advantage of this is that we can examine the effects of the various influences on the entire product or component for any geometries, even complex ones, before we build prototypes.
The results of these calculations also serve as evidence for technical approvals, product liability and production releases.
NovaNox FEM calculations are performed analytically according to general and international standards. This ensures comparability and reliable results. In detail we do for you
