Unloading barrels from the tank area: new problems for veteran revolutionaries

2020-12-29View Original

Thread Content

There is a small-scale tank for Class A raw materials in the tank farm (200 m3). The manufacturer transports them using trucks carrying 200 KG barrels; each truck carries around 100 barrels, totaling about 20 tons. How should the barrel-unloading mechanism be designed to be both fast and space-efficient? Of course, it is essential to have safety guards and environmental protection in place.

It will have to be unloaded one by one. Another method is to use a forklift for lifting. But there is one problem: moving items inside the vehicle to a place where the forklift can reach is not difficult.

Truck drivers need to have considerable patience.

Doing this poses many security risks.

When will the 100 barrels be unloaded? Can’t they just be transported using tank trucks?

Niche products come in barrels as their original packaging. If tank trucks are used, they need to be cleaned regularly.

Explosion-proof, highly sealed bucket pumps can be used for unloading; these pumps are convenient to use – simply choose a portable bucket pump with a high flow rate and low head pressure; In oil and gas processing plants, many chemicals are supplied in barrels, and this method is used for both initial loading and unloading
