🏭 Production & Mold Updates

🎧 Start at 00:00–00:38

New molds are now running in French Camp:

• 6600 Vertical IMFO Mold – Featuring a new dome design and expanded flat/runway surface area.

👉 Updated drawings are available now on polyprocessing.com.

• 6900 Slope-Bottom IMFO Mold – Back in service after repairs. You’ll find it under Slope Bottom Tanks on our site.

🔢 Serial Number Flexibility

🎧 Listen at 00:38–01:42

Our serial number process has evolved!
Instead of molding it into the wall, we now stamp serial numbers — allowing for custom placement (e.g., eye-level marking).

• Ideal for large tank farms and improved record keeping.
• You can even request stenciled serials for easier identification.

📚 Learn more: Search “Serial Number” on our blog for a detailed breakdown.

💡 Field Team End-of-Year Tips

🎧 Start at 04:02

Our outside sales and field service pros share their best insights for closing the year strong:

🚧 1. Turnkey Tank Installations

🎧 Bert Venner – 04:13–05:13

Did you know Poly Processing offers full-service tank installations?
Submit a Tank Install RFQ via the Send dropdown on P3 to get contractor support and a complete turnkey project.

📍 Recent installs:

• 3 tanks in Virginia

🔁 2. Reconnect with Old Customers

🎧 Craig Roberts – 05:16–06:22

When leads slow down:

• Review old POs and offer free tank inspections
• Engage chemical suppliers — they often lead you back to potential tank users

Stay proactive: replacements are often required every few years.

🧾 3. Finalize Pending Orders

🎧 Chris Shepherd – 06:47–07:16

Year-end success starts with clean order flow.
Ensure:

• Drawings are approved
• Delays are flagged early
• PO's move to “Release to Manufacturing” quickly

Goal: Ship every possible order before year-end!

⚖️ 4. Selling Against FRP (Fiberglass)

🎧 Bob Molitsky – 07:23–08:16

For tanks up to 10,000 gallons, Poly tanks hold both engineering and pricing advantages over FRP.
Between 10K–15K gallons, lean on technical merits — reach out to your Regional Manager to position the sale effectively.

🧰 5. Field Insights: Venting & Flexible Connections

🎧 Dan Comp – 08:19–09:29

• Watch for misaligned connections — don’t rely on expansion joints to correct them.
• Use the F.S.2650 vent as your go-to solution for larger tanks.
• Consider adding an extra access port for fill-rate pressure testing.

This ensures safe venting and optimal fill efficiency.

📘 6. Empowering End Users with Smart Tools

🎧 Tony Grijalva – 09:54–10:46

Share the Smart Fit Guide with your end users — available under Fittings & Accessories on our website.
It helps customers plan their own layouts for fittings and orientations, saving you setup time.

🎯 Wrap-Up

🎧 Listen at 10:51–end

That’s it for November’s News You Can Use!
Next month marks our final episode of the year — let’s finish strong and keep those orders rolling in.

🦃 Happy Thanksgiving from the Poly Processing Team!
