Floating Suctions - C0001 - C0013, C0015 - C0093

Our Floating Suctions come in a range of designs to suit buried, above ground, semi-buried and vertical tanks as well as for use with articulated drainage units with a floating ceiling/roof.

Floating Suctions have the following advantages when compared with permanently fixed bleeding nozzles:

  • The product is always transferred in a defined distance under the liquid level
  • Contamination dirt, sediments, solid particles and heavy fluids remain on the tank bottom ensuring constant quality, independent from liquid level
  • Ease of steering and long lifetime due to the swivel joint ball bearing
  • Easy to mount due to internal swivel joint flanging
  • Robustness against pressure conditions (pressure variations) in tank and tube
  • Minimal vortex formation through optimized inlet with anti-vortex suction
  • Pressure-proof floats
