Telescopic Drop Tube
Where splash loading is not acceptable, a 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.

The following situations may require the use of a telescopic drop tube:
- Internal friction in flowing products can cause electrostatic charge. This physical effect can lead to sparking which is mandatory to be avoided, especially when combustible or explosive fluids are loaded. Spark prevention can be achieved most efficiently by creating bottom contact with a telescopic drop tube.
- Bottom contact with a telescopic drop tube is recommended for loading of foaming products.
- For loading applications with height restrictions (e.g. by a roof) a telescopic drop tube is the ideal solution compared with a long and rigid drop tube.

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

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.

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.
