The top lid is removable to allow access to the follower. The lid is located by a bolted clamp band and sealed with a open cell EPDM gasket. Due to the inclusion of the follower the RTM(S) series are unique in being both Bottom Fill and Bottom Discharge, via the isolation valve.
SOME KEY FEATURES:
PETRO's Pressurised Follower Grease Container Series are specifically designed for the semi bulk storage, transportation and dispensing of all grades of grease.
Size range is 500, 700, 1000, 1200 and 1450 litres.
Suitable for both shuttle tanks and static storage.
A pressurised follower system to provide pumping assistance.
The flexible follower operates as a flexible wiper, scraping product from the walls during decanting to minimise residual and cross contamination.
With air pressure acting on top of the follower (35 Kpa) , external air-borne contaminants (dust, moisture, etc) are excluded from the product.
Minimal residual product, traditionally less than 5-10kg is retained within the sump and discharge pipe.
A “pallet” sized footprint, with four-way fork access for easy lifting and positioning.
Contents indication (sight gauge) mounted in steel guards to ensure long and troublefree operation.
A coaming is fitted to offer protection to ancillary equipment fitted in the top shell.
Heavy duty, robust circular design to ensure maximum service life in severe operating environments.
Areas subject to wear, tear and damage are heavily reinforced with striker and guard plates.
4 piece bolted clampband locating the removable top.
Nyloc nuts used to maximise transport vibration issues.
Pressure gauge visible through the protective coming.
Heavy duty lifting lugs on doubler pads welded to the tank shell.
Hole in clampbands allows water to drain and minimise capillary action past the gasket.
TRANSPORTATION
The RTM(S) pressurised follower series Liqua-Tainers are specifically designed for the bulk transportation, storage and dispensing of viscous products including heavy greases, inks, pastes, adhesives, etc. The (S) series are on a pallet sized footprint to allow loading in shipping containers, effective truck loading and include four way fork entry. The RTM(S) series are designed to dispense product in conjunction with a customer supplied pump.
MOVABILITY
The Liqua-Tainer’s are designed to be moved with a forklift and incorporate skids that fully encase the fork lift tynes for safe movement. Four lifting lugs are provided to allow top lifting with slings or cables.
DESIGN
The RTM(S) series are circular in design allowing the inclusion of a flexible follower system. This follower works as a wiper, scraping product from the walls to minimise expensive residual and cross contamination. The circular design offers greater strength when compared with square designs allowing the area above the follower to be pressurised with low pressure air.
AIR PRESSURE
This air pressure, 27 - 31 kPa, acting on top of the follower assists in the downward movement. This minimises the chance of void pockets occurring and force feeds product to the suction side of the pump. A 50mm combination pressure and vacuum vent set at 35kPa and -3.5kPa respectively is provided to allow product draw off to occur should air pressure fail or not be available.
Supplementary equipment fitted is as follows:
Fill / Discharge Point: 76mm (3”) ball valve complete with camlock and dustcap.
Level Indicator: External indicator shows the contents level. Indication is via a poppet within a clear sight tube.
Model Specific:
Four way forklift entry.
Pallet sized footprint.
Pneumatic regulator complete with gauge.
Two pack urethane coating.
Four Lifting lugs.
Valve bracing and additional striker plates on base.
