The land loading and unloading arm is a piece of equipment used for the loading and unloading operations of media such as liquids and gases on land. The following is an introduction to this product:
Structural Composition
Swivel Joint: It is a key component of the loading and unloading arm. It allows the pipeline to rotate flexibly within a certain angle while ensuring the sealed transmission of the medium. It is usually made of high-strength and wear-resistant materials to ensure long-term stable operation.
Pipeline System: Composed of steel pipes of different specifications, appropriate materials such as stainless steel and carbon steel are selected according to the characteristics of the conveyed medium, such as corrosiveness, temperature, and pressure. The surface of the pipeline is usually subjected to anti-corrosion treatment to extend its service life.
Supporting Structure: It is used to support each part of the loading and unloading arm, enabling it to be stably fixed on the ground or platform. The supporting structure generally adopts a steel structure, which has sufficient strength and stiffness to withstand various loads during the operation of the loading and unloading arm.
Operating Mechanism: It includes manual or electric operating devices, which are used to control the lifting, rotation, and telescoping actions of the loading and unloading arm, so as to accurately dock the loading and unloading arm with the transport vehicle or storage container. Some advanced loading and unloading arms are also equipped with a remote control system, which can realize automated operation and improve the efficiency and safety of loading and unloading.
Working Principle The land loading and unloading arm connects the storage container or the conveying pipeline with the transport vehicle through the cooperation of the swivel joint and the pipeline system. During the loading and unloading process, the position and posture of the loading and unloading arm are adjusted through the operating mechanism to accurately dock it with the interface of the transport vehicle. Then, with the action of gravity, pumps, or other conveying equipment, the medium is transmitted through the loading and unloading arm under the push of the pressure difference. After the loading and unloading are completed, the loading and unloading arm is reset, cleaned, and maintained for the next use.
Product Features High Efficiency: It can complete the loading and unloading operations quickly and accurately, greatly improving work efficiency and reducing the waiting time of vehicles.
Flexibility: It has multiple rotating and telescoping joints and can flexibly adjust its position and angle within a certain range to adapt to different types and sizes of transport vehicles and storage containers.
Safety: It is equipped with a variety of safety devices, such as an electrostatic grounding system, emergency shut-off valve, overload protection device, etc., effectively preventing the occurrence of safety accidents such as electrostatic accumulation and leakage.
Good Sealing Performance: Advanced sealing technologies and materials are adopted to ensure that the medium will not leak during the loading and unloading process, reducing environmental pollution and also ensuring the quality of the medium.
Convenient Maintenance: The structural design is reasonable, and each component is easy to disassemble and repair, reducing the maintenance cost and downtime.
Application Fields Petrochemical Industry: It is used for the loading and unloading operations of liquid media such as crude oil, refined oil products, and chemical raw materials in places such as refineries, chemical plants, and oil depots. Food and Beverage Industry: It is suitable for the loading and unloading of food-grade liquids, such as edible oils, beverages, and wines, meeting the requirements of hygiene standards. Pharmaceutical Industry: It is used for the loading and unloading of pharmaceutical raw materials and finished products to ensure the quality and safety of drugs during transportation. Other Fields: It can also be applied to industries such as power, metallurgy, and water treatment for the loading, unloading, and transportation of various liquid media.
