Chemical Loading Arms

 

Chemical loading arms are an essential tool for a safe and efficient range of chemical transfers. In hazardous industrial work, the use of these arms can be lifesaving. Chemical loading arms provide a secure connection between fixed loading facilities and chemical tankers. They can safely transfer high-pressure liquid or gaseous chemicals without risking worker safety or the environment.

Chemical loading arms are a crucial part of the chemical industry, enabling the safe and efficient transfer of chemicals. They are built to withstand harsh chemical environments and offer many benefits, including increased safety, productivity, and cost effectiveness.

Chemical loading arms offer various loading and unloading configurations. These include bottom loading arms for on-ground applications and top loading arms for loading from above.

Chemical top loading arm systems are designed for top filling of road or rail tankers. They use a manhole or any kind of fixed connection like a coupler. These loading arms use high quality swivel joints and precise loading arm balancing to transfer chemicals safely and efficiently.

We leverage our experience and expertise to provide our customers with tailored chemical loading solutions that deliver real world benefits, including:

This spring balance carries the weight of the loading arm and is easy to handle and maneuver into place. This system reduces the risk of injuries such as back strains associated with bending down and picking up hoses, etc.

Ultimate Flexibility

We understand that each of our customers is unique, and that each operation has a specific set of needs. That is why we work closely with our customers to design a chemical loading solution tailored to meet the demands of their chemical loading application. Our range of chemical loading arms covers sizes ranging from 2” to 6”, temperatures between -50oC to 250oC (-58F to 482F), and pressures of up to 40 bar; ensuring that we have the right solution, regardless of the chemical transfer application.
