EXHIBITION REVIEW • THE FPS SHOW OFFERS A MARKETPLACE FOR THE LATEST EQUIPMENT INNOVATIONS IN THE FUEL DISTRIBUTION AND ROAD TANKER SECTOR
GLEAMING NEW ROAD tankers may dominate the exhibition halls at the FPS Expo, which took place this past April at the Exhibition Centre Liverpool, but there was also plenty of hi-tech gadgetry and ancillary equipment on display. One exhibitor that was more than happy to
introduce visitors to some of its latest pieces of kit was Emco Wheaton, which has expanded its extensive range of road tanker equipment
EMCO WHEATON’S LATEST KIT AIMS TO IMPROVE EFFICIENCY AND WORKER SAFETY
with the launch of the EW Selector and the Combi-Cabinet. “With the selector and cabinet, operators will no longer have to travel along the API envelope of the vehicle in order to operate the system. Going forward, all the controls are at hand and following extensive field trials, client feedback has been impressive,” the company says. Developed to make the delivering of bulk liquids safer, quicker and more effective, both the EW Selector and the Combi-Cabinet can be retrofitted onto tankers already in the field or provided as part of a new tanker system. Moreover, they can also work hand in hand
or as part of other current systems, with the EW Selector “fixed directly above each loading or discharging adaptor” thus “ allowing the operator to quickly, simply and with reduced risk of error select the product to be delivered without the need to move away from the tanker API envelope”. At the same time, the compact design of the Combi-Cabinet “removes the need for large additional control cabinets fitted upstream of the tanker by centralising controls in one interface”, something that in turn maximises space while minimising weight. “With all the connections consolidated in one place, this integrated system reduces the need for complicated pneumatics and overfill prevention system looms in separate locations, allowing ease of access and safer operation,” the company states.
HIGH FLOW EFFICIENCY Described as “a fully automatic control system that delivers high flow efficiency”, MechTronic’s new OptiMate system, meanwhile, makes use of advanced software to automatically empty the manifold, purge lines and perform product returns. “OptiMate’s unique metering control »
