On-Spot loading technology for rail cars
M+F is a leading manufacturer of On-spot filling tubes for the loading of rail cars with oil products. In 2008, M+F acquired this technology from Konrad Anlagenbau GmbH. Today, all Konrad personell works at M+F.
Together with the filling tube technology, M+F offers fully automated On-spot rail car systems for high loading capacity. These systems have proven their performance and reliability under differing climatic conditions for a wide range of difefrent products [i.e. benzine, diesel, heavy heating oil, cerosene, benzole, toluol, crude oil etc.]
Function
- high loading capacity up to 5.0 mio tonnes/year
- up to 700 m³/h flow rate
- filling tube diameter up to DN 250
- equential loading of different products within one train without product contamination
- ccurate product measurement in volume or mass
- no product loss becuase of overspill
- integration into existing environments
Environmentally friendly
- no emissions due to vapor recovery
- double protection against overfilling of rail cars
- no product leakages in the area of rails and rail cars
Security
- Fire protection with fire detector, CO2- system at loading point
- Gas warning system in whole installation for detection of product vapor
Elements of an On-spot loading system:
- HHydraulically operated telescope filling tube up to DN 250
- bidimensional positioning unit
- Vapor return via telescope tubes
- Integrated locking device
- Pneumatically controlled overfill protection
- Pneumatically inflatable sealing or flat sealing
Exemplary project HVR-5000-loading:
Hydraulically operated bidimensional positioning unit
60 m³ of the highly viscous HVR [Highly Viscous Residue] are loaded within 12 minutes at a constant filling temperature of 150° C.
