Water Tank Panel Roll Forming Machine (Bolted Steel Tanks)
What Is a Water Tank Panel Roll Forming Machine?
A water tank panel roll forming machine produces the corrugated steel panels used to assemble bolted sectional water tanks — the round tanks widely used for water storage on farms, compounds, schools and communities in Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. Panels are narrow corrugated sections (commonly 620 mm cover width from 650 mm coil) in 1.5-2.5 mm galvanized steel, with bolt holes punched along both edges so the rings can be assembled and bolted together on site.
Typical Panel Features
- Corrugated profile: deep panel corrugation gives the tank wall hoop strength.
- Bolt holes: punched on both longitudinal edges at matched pitch for ring assembly.
- Material: galvanized steel 1.5-2.5 mm, often with a food-grade liner for potable water.
- Options: cut-to-length in 1-3 m sheets; accessories punched per tank design.
Machine Configuration

Applications
Water tank manufacturers produce panels for bolted steel water tanks from 1 m³ farm tanks to large community reservoirs, plus similar panels for septic tanks and chemical storage. The same line can often serve silo panel production with a roller change.
FAQ
What does a water tank panel machine produce?
Corrugated galvanized panels with edge bolt holes for assembling bolted sectional water tanks on site.
What panel width does it make?
The standard tank panel is 620 mm cover from a 650 mm coil; other widths can be tooled per your tank design.
What thickness is used?
Typically 1.5-2.5 mm galvanized steel for structural tank walls.
Are bolt holes punched on the machine?
Yes, both edges are punched at matched pitch for ring assembly.
Can the same machine make silo panels?
With a roller set change the line can form similar silo corrugated panels.
What is the minimum order quantity?
MOQ is 1 set, tooled to your panel drawing.
