🔧 PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: EPDM Expansion Joints – A Cost-Saving Alternative
Many customers continue specifying the standard Teflon® flex joints — and while those are dependable — they might be overlooking a major cost-saving opportunity.
The EPDM Expansion Joint is compatible in many applications and is a less expensive alternative.
- Use Case: Best when paired with a transition fitting.
- Savings: Up to $500–$700 per installation compared to Teflon joints.
- Availability: Listed in PolyQuote under “Bellows EPDM.”
đźź© Pro Tip: For non-chemical applications where EPDM compatibility is suitable, suggest this upgrade to maximize value.
🛢️ KNOW YOUR TANKS: Molded-in Pocket Fittings on SAFE-Tank® Systems
A frequent question from the field: Which SAFE-Tanks come with molded-in pocket fittings? Good news — we’ve added a dedicated column with a PF in the header on the SAFE-Tank product page on PolyProcessing.com.
Here's what you’ll find:
- A downloadable PDF showing each tank’s pocket fitting availability.
- Pocket fitting counts and locations (some tanks offer up to 4).
- Only one pocket fitting per tank allowed due to stress control.
🟩 Reseller Tip: For SAFE-Tanks under 2,500 gallons, recommend molded-in pockets as a smart installation option — but caution customers against using fittings on opposing sides.
📡 NEW FEATURE: Swiveling Radar Fitting
Radar sensors are gaining popularity. To meet this demand, we now offer a swiveling radar fitting that allows users to adjust the sensor’s aim.
What this means for your customers:
- Improved installation flexibility on tank domes.
- Enhanced accuracy in level monitoring.
- Seamless integration into quotes (ask for “swivel radar fitting”).
đźź© Why it Matters: This small accessory can prevent costly installation errors and improve radar sensor performance.
🚨 COMING SOON: 10,500-Gallon SAFE-Tank®
We’re excited to announce a new addition to the SAFE-Tank lineup: the 10,500-gallon SAFE-Tank, shipping starting September 2025 from our Monroe, LA plant.
Details:
- Drawings and specs now available online at www.polyprocessingpartner.com.
- Early demand is high — encourage your clients to place orders ASAP.
- Pricing is available in PolyQuote.
đźź© Sales Strategy: Offer this double wall tank as a solution for bulk users looking to reduce frequent chemical refills and site delivery costs.
🔥 HEAT MAINTENANCE SYSTEMS: What Sets Ours Apart
We spoke with Scott Brenneman of HTD — our long-time heat panel supplier — for insights on how our heat maintenance systems stand out from the competition.
Key Differentiators for Resellers:
- Parallel Circuit Design
Unlike series-based systems, ours use multi-path parallel heating elements. If one path fails, heat continues uninterrupted — a major reliability advantage. - Digital Controls
The standard 2XTC controller offers:- Process temp. display (default: 60°F).
- High/low alarms (default: 100°F / 40°F).
- LED indicators for alarms and heater status.
- Alarm relays connectable to SCADA or DCS systems.
- 4–20 mA output for remote monitoring.
- Adjustable Parameters
Alarms and deadband (default 2°F) are user-adjustable — great for field tuning. - QR Code Access
Every controller includes a QR code to the full operating manual and recommended settings. - Current Monitoring Alarm
Disabled by default but can detect heater failure or connection loss when configured correctly.
Power Requirements:
- Default: 120V
- Optional: 240VÂ configurations
- Amp draw depends on heater quantity (1–6 pads typically)
- NEC-compliant: Requires equipment-level ground fault protection (30 mA) — not personnel protection (5 mA)

🟩 Talking Point: Highlight that our heat panel systems are not just effective — they’re engineered for resilience, control, and smart integration.
