Westec Tank, an innovative leader in the stainless steel tank design industry for more than 30 years, has launched a new, dimple line tank construction that sets it apart from competitors and dramatically improves efficiency for customers.

The design uses one large sheet of dimple metal construction per tank, eliminating the need for the additional seams, outlets or fittings required when two or more sheets are welded together. The result is a more seamless composition and an overall improvement in the transfers of glycol, heat and water throughout the surface areas of the tank.

“It’s more efficient all the way around,” asserts Westec General Manager Jim Belli, who also notes that Westec Tank now has the largest dimple line in the Western United States.

The Healdsburg-based Westec Tank & Equipment is known for industry excellence with integrated tank and catwalk design, tank farm design assistance, winery equipment construction and micro oxygenation technology.

The company prides itself on having certified wine tank manufacturers on staff and assembling a team of the finest stainless steel workers in the country.

“The mindset of our workers is stainless steel excellence,” Belli says. “They’re taking metal and putting it together to someone else’s specifications, like artists. Every day, with every weld, the culture here is to produce the finest products possible.”

In addition to tank and equipment manufacturing, Westec Tank excels in onsite work and consultation, such as catwalk retrofitting, vineyard equipment repair and installing doors, screens and support fittings on existing systems, including concrete tanks.

“We like the challenge of creating and experimenting with new and different things, not just steel tanks,” Belli says. “We want to support the entire industry. If it’s within our means, we’ll take a look at it.”

Belli emphasizes that Westec goes above and beyond when it comes to safety procedures, such as their confined space entry program, to protect both employees and winery customer liability.  He reiterates that it is the people at Westec Tank that make it such an outstanding organization.

“We’re not just welders, we’re professionals,” Belli asserts. “That’s why we’re full to the brim as far as work, clear into next year. People are willing to wait for us. It’s who we are. We work hard at it; we earn it every day.”
