PRINCIPLES OF LOADING
A. CLOSED OF LOADING
- The outlet rests on the tanker’s loading hatch creating a dust-free connection.
- A free material stream passes through a column of open, overlapping guide cones.
- A reverse air jet exhaust produces negative pressure which is necessary to eliminate dust creation.
- An indicator mounted in the outlet automatically stops the loading process when the tanker is full.
In a closed loading system the outlet nozzle rests on the tankers loading hatch.
B. OPEN LOADING
- The loading chute outlet rests on the product pile.
- A free material stream passes through a column of open, overlapping guide cones.
- A reverse air jet exhaust produces negative pressure which is necessary to eliminate dust creation.
- An indicator mounted in the outlet automatically raises the loading chute
In the open loading system the loading chute outlets rests on the product pile.
