Tanks for juices, fermentation and settling often have a conical bottom for full draining. The calculator adds the cone volume to the cylinder volume and calculates the liquid at any level.
Approximate calculation using a simplified model: for designing equipment and process modes, consult a technologist.
How to calculate the volume of a conical bottom?
V = π × r² × h / 3, where r is the radius of the cylinder and h is the height of the cone.
The calculations are approximate: they help to assess the process and compare options, but do not replace a process design and trials on a specific raw material. This section is for reference only and contains no commercial offers.
