Exclusive Dimple Pad Technology
Powered by New Zealand’s only flatbed laser welder.
At DTS, we’re proud to be New Zealand’s only tank manufacturer operating a flatbed laser welder—enabling us to design and manufacture fully customised laser-welded dimple pad solutions. This exclusive capability allows us to deliver exceptional thermal performance, precision engineering, and energy efficiency to customers across the food, beverage, dairy, and agri-business sectors.
PRECISION LASER TECHNOLOGY
Laser-welded dimple pads are created by fusing two stainless steel sheets using laser technology. This process forms a network of engineered dimples that ensure optimal heat transfer across the surface of the tank or vessel.

Why choose DTS dimple pads?
Superior Pressure Handling:
Laser welded dimple pads offer higher pressure ratings which allow designers the ability to engineer pressure drop to drive the system for the greatest energy savings.
Maximum Thermal Efficiency:
Internal volume is significantly reduced which leads to increased thermal efficiency and an impressive cost reduction of cooling fluid required over traditional designs.
Engineered for Turbulent Flow:
The geometry of each dimple promotes turbulent flow, pushing fluid evenly through the entire system. This maximises heat transfer while maintaining a slimline design that accommodates full-thickness insulation.
Improved Thermal Control:
With heating and cooling capabilities of up to (or exceeding) 5kW/m², our dimple pads provide precise temperature control—ideal for applications where consistency and reliability are critical.
Cost Savings:
Our fully automated flatbed laser welder delivers faster lead times, reduced labour costs, and consistently high weld quality—giving you a competitive edge in both performance and price.
