Innovation and excellence in the production of tanks for military aircraft
Founded by Enzo Giambartolomei, M.E.RIN has become a pioneer in the development and production of flexible tanks, both standard and customized. They started by producing fuel tanks for the motorsport industry on behalf of the most prestigious automotive manufacturers. Over the years, they have grown to offer a range of tanks for multiple sectors. The main focus has always been attention to detail, the search for innovative materials, the use of advanced procedures and machinery, and the emphasis on the safety-quality combination that distinguishes them. This allows them to produce customized, safe, and high-quality tanks, capable of withstanding all environmental, technological, and situational challenges associated with the use of the vehicle.
For the aerospace and defense sector, M.E.RIN is dedicated to the design and production of tanks for special vehicles, providing advanced solutions for defense on land, in the air, and at sea. With a constant commitment to innovation and quality, they develop flexible, impact-resistant, and self-sealing tanks to meet the most stringent demands of aeronautical and military applications.
Flexible tanks allow for the safe containment of fuel, avoiding problems related to vibrations that inevitably stress the aircraft structures, both during flight and landing.
These tanks can be equipped with impact-resistant features, ensuring the survival of crew and passengers in the event of an accidental crash.
Self-sealing applications enable the containment of fuel even if the tank is hit by bullets.
M.E.RIN produces flexible tanks for aeronautical use in both civilian and military fields.
These are typically made according to the customer’s design.
Our tanks can be of various types:
- Flexible
- Impact-resistant
- Self-sealing
They can be used with all currently used fuels: MOGAS, AVGAS, JP1, JP8, and others.
Special executions can be made for fuels containing alcohol, ethanol, methanol, hydrazine, propane, and biofuels.
M.E.RIN has its own quality system certified AS/EN 9100-2018 and can produce tanks for airplanes, helicopters, UAVs, RUAS, missiles, and jetpacks.
Their excellence has led to obtaining quality certification from NV according to AS/EN 9100-2018 and ISO 9001-2015 standards. This recognition ensures the highest quality and reliability of the tanks, through rigorous monitoring of incoming materials, the entire production process, and after-sales service.
"CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TANKS"
Fully collapsible tanks for easy installation and disassembly.
The initial phase involves the creation of a 3D model by the designers using specialized software (CATIA, AUTOCAD, INVENTOR, RINO) in any shape and size, allowing the client to preview the final result and make initial modifications.
Subsequently, the practical construction phase of the tank begins, followed by testing and delivery. Upon delivery, the client is offered the option of a complete supply of accessories such as:
- Filler cap
- Drain and vent valve
- Filters
- Surge tank
- Hangars
- Bulkheads
- Anti-explosion foam
