Ball Baffles
The Ball Baffle System is a simple yet effective solution to improve liquid load stability in all types of transport tanks. Hollow spheres clip together inside the tank to break up liquid waves, reducing surge when braking or turning. Easy to retrofit, these baffles enhance safety, lower rollover risk, and have been independently tested by Loadsafe Australia to reduce wear on brakes and tyres.
Load Safety Solution for Liquid Surge & Sloshing
The Rapid Spray Ball Baffle System provides dramatic improvement in handling predictability and driver control and is a common requirement for tankers on mine sites and council works due to how much safer the Ball Baffle System makes your load. Watch this video showing the testing and see the difference yourself!
Entire Tank Baffling
Ball Baffles offer superior liquid stability to fixed baffle systems as the Ball Baffle System baffles the whole tank and acts like a honeycomb inside your tank whereby the liquid movement is very quickly stopped by a part of the ball baffle. Fixed baffle systems often leave compartments of 2000-4000L which are still subject to the dangerous effects of liquid surge.
Reduces maintenance costs
With shorter braking distances, enjoy reduced maintenance costs through less mechanical wear and tear on your vehicle. Feel the difference yourself and you'll notice less wear on yourself as the driver of what now feels like a fixed load!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a ball baffle and how does it work?
A ball baffle is a liquid load baffling solution designed to increase stability in transport tanks. The baffles clip together to form hollow spheres that are inserted into the tank. They break up liquid waves, reducing surge effects when a vehicle brakes or changes direction, making transport safer.
How easy it to assemble the Ball Baffles?
Can ball baffles be installed in existing tanks?
Yes. Ball baffles are easy to install and can be retrofitted to almost any existing tank, improving safety and reducing the risk of rollovers without requiring a new tank.
What benefits does the Rapid Spray Ball Baffle System provide?
Rapid Spray’s Ball Baffle System has been independently tested and verified by Loadsafe Australia. It increases vehicle stability and reduces wear and tear on brakes and tyres, providing both safety and cost-saving benefits.
Are ball baffles suitable for all types of liquid transport tanks?
Yes. The system is designed for all types of transport tanks carrying liquids, including water, chemicals, fertilisers, and molasses, enhancing load stability across a wide range of applications.
What materials are ball baffles made from?
Ball baffles are typically constructed from food-grade polypropylene, making them rust-proof, chemical-resistant, and safe for transporting various liquids, including water, diesel, and chemicals.
Are ball baffles suitable for all tank sizes?
Yes, ball baffles are available in various sizes to suit different tank capacities, ranging from 100L to 60,000L. They can be installed in both steel and fiberglass tanks, provided the tank opening is at least 195mm in diameter.
What types of tanks can ball baffles be installed in?
Ball baffles can be installed in most types of liquid transport tanks, including:
Polyethylene (poly) tanks – commonly used for water, chemicals, and fertilisers.
Steel tanks – traditional heavy-duty tanks for fuel, chemicals, and industrial liquids.
Fiberglass (FRP) tanks – lightweight and corrosion-resistant tanks for water or chemicals.
Potable water tanks – food-grade tanks for safe drinking water transport.
The main requirement is that the tank has an opening large enough (usually around 195 mm or more) to insert the baffle spheres. Ball baffles are highly versatile and can also be retrofitted into existing tanks, regardless of material or shape, to improve stability and reduce liquid surge.
