floating suction systems, floating roof drainage and skimmers

combine pipes with Swivel Joints, which allows a continuous transport of liquids during the movement of the piping system. Therefore this type of construction fulfills the specific requirements of tank storages perfectly.

Storage Tank Systems are characterized by:

  • Long-lasting, reliable Swivel Joints, customized to particular needs of applications and fluids to be transported
  • Easy operation and movement of the system ensured by Swivel Joints
  • Stable system, especially in contrast to hose systems: no kinking of the hose
  • Easy Installation
  • Corrosion resistance
  • No turbulences in the tank
  • Wide range of materials and Swivel Joint Types allows to design systems for almost every tank and every product
  • Customized design, construction, manufacturing and installation by taking into account the specific requirements of tank and product

Floating Suction System

The floating suction system allows the product to be drawn off directly at or below the liquid surface. This guarantees a product with a high quality standard, which is contaminated with water, dirt or other substances as little as possible. Therefore the floating suction systems are provided with a floater, which positions the suction hole independently of the tanks filling level right below the liquid surface.

Nominal diameter: 3″ / DN80 up to 32″ / DN800
Material: Carbon steel, stainless steel
Gasket material: PTFE, viton, NBR, HPU
Connections: according to customers specification
Swivel joint type: W, LW, SO-W

Floating Roof Drainage

Floating Roof Drainage continuously carry off rainwater from the floating roof of the tank. This process is independent of the tanks filling level and reduces the pressure on the floating roof. With such a floating roof drain system spillage and contamination of the product with rain water is avoided reliably.

Nominal diameter: 3″ / DN80 up to 12″ / DN300
Material: Carbon steel, stainless steell
Gasket material: PTFE, viton, NBR
Connections: Aaccording to customers specification
Swivel joint type: W, LW, SO-W

Skimmer

Skimmers allow to carry off contaminated fluids floating on the product in the tank storage. Skimmer use two floaters, which position the suction hole directly below the surface of the contaminated fluid. This ensures the skimming of the contamination independently of the tanks filling level in an optimal way.

Nominal diameter: 3″ / DN80 up to 12″ / DN300
Material: Carbon steel, stainless steel
Gasket material: PTFE, viton, NBR
Connections: according to customers specification
Swivel joint type: W, LW, SO-W
