(57) The present invention relates to an assembly for the formation of a modular tank
(10) for containing a fluid, said assembly (10) comprising a first half-shell (1),
and a second half-shell (2), each half-shell (1; 2) providing a body having a bottom
wall and side walls ending in a terminal edge (11; 21) for coupling at a horizontal
coupling plane (X) with the terminal edge (21; 11) of the other half-shell (2; 1).
Said assembly (10) also comprises a gasket (4) that can be interposed between said
two half-shells (1, 2) at the terminal edges (11, 21), and fastening means (6, 7,
8) for securing together said half-shells (1, 2) and prevent their movement along
a vertical axis (y) perpendicular to the horizontal plane (X). Each half-shell (1;
2) at its respective terminal edge (11, 21) provides one or more protruding external
flanges (12; 16; 22; 26), and each half-shell (1; 2) further provides a plurality
of vertical extensions (13; 17; 23; 27) arranged externally on the respective terminal
edge (11; 21) projecting along said vertical axis (y) in the opposite direction to
the body of the respective half-shell (1; 2). Said assembly (10) is characterised
in that each vertical extension (13; 17; 23; 27) of each half-shell (1; 2) has at
least one portion parallel to said vertical axis (y), in that each semi -shell (1;
2) provides a plurality of housing seats, each housing seat being arranged externally
on the respective terminal edge (11; 21) and corresponding to the interspace between
two vertical extensions (13; 17; 23; 27) of the same half-shell (1; 2), said interspace
having no vertical extensions. Said assembly (10) is configured in such a way as to
assume an assembled tank configuration by coupling together said two half-shells (1,
2) with their respective terminal edges (11, 21) in correspondence with said horizontal
plane (X), arranging the vertical extensions (13; 17; 23; 27) of a first half-shell
(1; 2) alternately to the vertical extensions (23; 27; 13; 17) of the second half-shell
(2; 1) and so as to be projecting towards the mutual half-shell (2; 1) in such a way
that each vertical extension (23; 27; 13; 17) of a half-shell (1; 2) fits into the
respective space between two vertical extensions (23; 27; 13; 17) of the mutual half-shell
(2; 1) so as to be adjacent to the side wall of the body of the mutual half-shell
(2; 1), interposing said gasket (4) and securing together said one or more protruding
external flanges (12; 16; 22; 26) of the two half-shells (1, 2) by means of said fastening
means (6, 7, 8 ).
