Tankmaker.com creates an integrated Aquaponics Factory using an Industrial Glass Tank System, data analytics, humanoid robots, and autonomous mobile robots to enhance efficiency, consistency, and profitability.
The result is ultra-high efficiency on producing• Aquaculture of tilapia can yield up to 500 MT/Ha per year (conventional was 10-50 MT/Ha per year)• Leafy vegetable lettuce at a rate of up to 1,000 MT/Ha.year (the traditional rate was around ~25 MT/Ha.year)• Staple crop Rice up to 100 MT/Ha.yr (traditional rate was 5M T/Ha.yr) &• Giant River Prawn up to 100 MT/Ha.year
- Product B - Modular Shrimp Aquaponics (Wind-Solar Powered)
- The product offers complete supply and setup of a nature-inspired CEA shrimp farming system using daylight, water circulation, and hybrid wind-solar power. Vertical green walls grow premium lettuce and basil, with fresh Vannamei shrimp sold directly for farm-to-table quality.
- The Modular Aquaponics Product consists of 10 paired modular units, offering a comprehensive food, water, and energy solution. It utilizes wind-solar power for up to 20 years of free electricity, combined with 60 units of 20GP container farms and advanced climate control systems.
- 1) Factory-built Folding Farm
- Air-tight container-sized farming cells consist of 10-25 paired modules, each with 6 units of 20GP container cells. Each module manages its own climate, allowing for independent control of light, air, water, and cooling, resulting in consistent quality, improved flavor, nutrition, and higher-value produce.
- 2) Two-stage Evaporative Cooling Climate Cell
- The system utilizes a two-stage evaporative cooling method to enhance energy efficiency. First, outdoor cooling pads lower temperatures to 30°C, followed by internal pads reducing it to 25°C, optimizing conditions for sea-bass, shrimp, and leafy vegetables while improving maintenance and bio-security.
- 3) Towable Hybrid Wind-solar Power Generator
- Solar and wind power are inconsistent alone; hybridizing them with storage batteries ensures energy availability during downtime. This small-scale system is encouraged by authorities as it allows farms to operate independently from grid electricity, eliminating monthly bills for 20-30 years and creating a sustainable energy source for farmers.
- Product C - Poultry-Over-Fish Aquaponics
- The modular Poultry Aquaponics Factory integrates controlled poultry, aquaculture, and diverse crops within factory-built folding container farms. Utilizing a two-stage evaporative cooling system and towable hybrid Wind-Solar generators, it mitigates market risks by operating ten separate product lines, ensuring stable production regardless of market fluctuations or harvest timing.
- 1. Fresh chicken
- 2. Eggs
- 3. Vannamei shrimp
- 4. Giant river prawn
- 5. Red nose tilapia
- 6. European sea bass
- 7. Giant gourami
- 8. Basil and leafy vegetables
- 9. Fruit
- 10. Rice
- The 20,000-hen egg module ensures a stable internal food supply for the 10-module farm, with surplus only for external markets. It shifts from market-dependent farming to integrated food security. Each module operates independently, allowing staggered planting and batch harvesting, enabling adjustments based on demand while maintaining overall production.
- Shrimp serves as the primary revenue source in aquaponics, which integrates RAS, filtration, nutrient recovery, and climate control. This model enhances control over shrimp farming's challenging conditions and allows for diversified production of fish, poultry, eggs, vegetables, fruit, and rice, reducing market risk and dependency on a single product.

- Product D - Industrial Glass Tank Systems (Pit Tanks)
- Many industrial tanks hide critical information from operators. Oil levels, contamination, process conditions, and product quality often remain invisible until costly problems occur. Tankmaker's Industrial Glass Tank Systems provide real-time visibility, helping operators make faster and better decisions. Applications include
- ✓ Crude Palm Oil (CPO)
- ✓ Process Tanks
- ✓ Storage Tanks
- ✓ Inspection Tanks
- ✓ Specialty Industrial Applications
Product E - Acrylic Aquarium For more than two decades, Tankmaker has delivered custom acrylic aquariums, public aquarium systems, educational exhibits, and aquatic infrastructure projects.From small displays to large-scale public attractions, every project is designed with safety, clarity, durability, and long-term reliability in mind. Helping customers create world-class aquatic experiences.
CEA must evolve beyond automation and investment, focusing on stronger unit economics, reduced energy use, diversified revenue, and a feasible exit strategy to address high energy intensity and profitability issues.
Aquaponics Factory is a practical, lower-risk CEA model focusing on sunlight-led growth through transparent roofs, minimizing LED dependence. It generates multiple revenue streams by producing live shrimp, fish, basil, and lettuce, enhancing customer value. Nutrient recovery is achieved by reusing fish and shrimp production water, reducing waste and fertilizer needs. Independent climate cells allow for problem isolation, and modular investment enables scaling based on demand. Foldable, factory-built structures lower infrastructure costs and installation complexities.
A Customer-Owned Technology FarmTankmaker’s intended business model is to supply complete multi-module production farms to farmers and investors. The customer owns the farm operation and harvest revenue, while Tankmaker delivers the productive infrastructure. This aligns the technology supplier with the customer’s operating economics instead of relying only on repeated fundraising or one giant corporate farm.
Aquaponics Factory is the next-generation CEA because it combines: High-value crop selection + sunlight-led energy + aquaponics nutrient recovery + modular climate cells + staged investment + transferable physical assets. The objective is not to build the largest farm. The objective is to build a farm that can survive. Because Aquaponics Factory is a technology farm designed for practical economics, controlled risk and scalable growth.
