Brief:A bottom hose loading arm takes it a step further by using a flexible hose instead of rigid pipes, paired with API couplers, to connect to the bottom valves of tanker trucks or railcars. This design lets the arm adapt to the tanker's position, making the transfer process cleaner and more efficient.
Brief:A top loading arm with a piggyback line is designed to load liquids—like diesel or chemicals—into tankers from above, offering flexibility for facilities without bottom-loading infrastructure, while simultaneously recovering the vapors displaced during the process. The “piggyback” part refers to a secondary arm or hose attached to the main liquid arm, which captures and redirects vapors back to a recovery system.
Brief:A heat tracing system, a clever setup that wraps the arm in warmth to prevent the liquid inside from thickening or solidifying. Heat tracing loading arms keep fluids at the perfect temperature so they don't turn into stubborn sludge mid-transfer.
Brief:A top loading arm is a pipe system engineered to transfer liquids (or even gases) through an open manhole or hatch, ensuring every drop ends up where it's supposed to. Unlike hoses, which can kink, or wear out, top loading arms are sturdy, articulated systems with swivel joints and counterbalances that make them easy to maneuver. They're the backbone of industries like petrochemicals, food processing, and pharmaceuticals, where safe and efficient liquid transfer is non-negotiable. The top loading arms allow the transfer of fluids to tank trucks, railways in a safe and effortless way for the operator.
Brief:A bottom loading arm is a specialized equipment that attaches to the underside of a tanker truck or railcar, rather than the top. These arms use a system of rigid pipes and swivel joints to reach the tanker's bottom valves or adapters, making the transfer process cleaner and faster.
Brief:Bottom Vapor Recovery Loading Arm, also called bottom loading arm with piggyback line, is a specialized piece of equipment used to load or unload liquids—think gasoline, diesel, or chemicals—into tankers from the bottom, while simultaneously recovering vapors displaced during the process. The “piggyback” part refers to a secondary arm or hose, attached to the main liquid arm, that captures and redirects vapors back to a recovery system.
Brief:PTFE is chemically inert, meaning it doesn't react with most substances, even the most aggressive ones like hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid.This non-reactive nature makes PTFE-lined loading arm perfect for handling acids, alkalis, and other corrosive product that would chew through regular metal pipes.
