Quick Release System Quick Release System Hydrau

Hydraulic

Our Hydraulic Quick Release System E0790 is used for the automatic separation of a connected loading arm from a tank vehicle in the event of an accidental drive-away whilst still connected. In this event, there is minimal loss of pressure in the rest of the connected supply.

Learn More

Control Systems

Systems for the comfortable and safe operation of loading arms.

Learn More

Mechanical

Our mechanical Quick Release System provides automatic disconnection of a loading arm in the event of a tanker accidentally driving away. Simultaneously the product flow will be shut off both upstream and downstream of the disconnection point.

Learn More

Hose Release System

Our Hose Release System is used for the protection of loading hoses during loading/unloading of barges, providing environmentally safe handling of loading hoses.

Learn More

Parallel Device for Bottom Loading Arms

The arm is fitted with six swivels for complete 3-axis movement of the tanker connection, allowing for tanker height changes during filling/discharge. The arm is additionally fitted with a parallel bar that holds the tanker connection arm ("B"-length) in a horizontal position irrespective of the primary arm ("A"-length) position. This makes tanker connection and disconnection much easier. The B-length also has a gas spring fitted allowing the operator to raise and lower the B-length with total ease.

Learn More

Telescopic Drop Tube

is used with a bottom contact switch, ensuring that the drop tube is permanently in touch with the bottom of the tanker being loaded. Our telescopic drop tubes can be either manually or pneumatically operated. Manually operated telescopic drop tubes are robust and have a short installation.

Learn More

Vapor Cones and Plates

Adding a vapor cone or plate with a vapor recovery system on the arm, this improves the profitability of the terminal because vaporized product can be recovered and does not pollute the environment.

Learn More

Heating Systems

Designed to keep loaded fluids in a liquid state, used for products with low and middle temperature ranges or if there is no other heating media available.

Learn More

Pneumatic

Our pneumatic Quick Release System provides automatic disconnection of a loading arm in the event of a tanker accidentally driving away whilst simultaneously shutting off the product flow both upstream and downstream of the disconnection point.

Loading Arm Accessories Overfill Protection

Overfill Safety Device

Secondary safety system which prevents product overflow, for example in the case of an incorrect pre-selected loading amount.
