ARCTIC-22 Semen Storage Tank

Introducing the latest semen storage tank. Highlights include :-

Holding Time

4 months, this is the accepted standard worldwide for farm semen tanks

Universal Model

The Arctic 22 holds 500 straws with only 3 canisters. This is adequate for most dairy farms.

In fact, many small dairy operations may well be served with only one or two canisters.

Flexibility

When this same basic tank is equipped with (6) six canisters (with a capacity of 1000 straws),

it is called the Arctic 22RX. This model is ideal for technician use, large dairy operations or for large

export shipments.

Canisters

500 Straw capacity achieved with only (3) three canisters of 2.0 inch diameter. Has great advantage

of ease of use. Easy and quick to access and re-insert.

Visibility

Necktube opening of 66mm will provide best visibility and working area of any 4 month farm tank in the World.

Ruggedness

The strength of the necktube increases with diameter. This will be the largest and strongest

necktube in the industry for a 4 month farm tank.

Styling

The Arctic 22 has a sleek, stylish look with exciting new colour tones.

No Spider

This is a patented feature with IC tanks. The canisters are attached in such a manner as to not

require a divider in the bottom of the tank. This greatly simplifies the re-insertion of canisters.

Warranty

These models are designed for rugged, reliable service and carry a 5 year warranty.
