Tank Shell
Cylindrical cross-section design compliant with the EN 12493 design standard,
In accordance with the EN 12493 standard, high-strength, imported, special “P” series pressure vessel material for the pressure-loaded body parts; either high-temperature steels (P…GH) to the EN 10028-2 standard or fine-grained steels (P..N or P…N…) to the EN 10028-3 standard,
1 Torispherical or Ellipsoidal outer dished end at the front and 1 at the rear; cross-type surge plates positioned perpendicular to the direction of motion, compliant with the EN 12493 design standard, in order to prevent liquid movement inside the body and to enable partial-load transport (use between 20% and 80% of the tank's gross volume),
ISO 3834 Welding Manufacturing Quality Competence Approval available,
The plates, rolled according to the rolling direction, are kept clear of T points as longitudinal rings using robotic welding technology and are joined butt-to-butt by the circumferential welding method; thus a cylindrical body structure compliant with the EN 12493 design standard is obtained,
The emergency access hole positioned on the horizontal axis ensures that the tanker can be fully discharged in the event of a possible rollover.
Filling/Discharge Line
Filling/discharge pipework compliant with one or both of the EN 10216-1 and EN 10217-1 standards,
Pipework positioned so as to prevent damage that could arise from mechanical shock, vibration and thermal expansion and contraction,
Closed-circuit filling and discharge is carried out by means of ball valves located in the equipment cabinet,
A triple, mutually independent (foot valve – filling/discharge valve – blind flange or cap) shut-off arrangement at the bottom filling or discharge opening,
An emergency shut-off (stop) system connected to the filling and discharge line,
Thermal expansion valves located in all pipework sections where liquid could be trapped between closed valves, positioned so as not to be directed towards the pressure vessel and not to be placed in the lower quarter section of the horizontal pipework, and set to relieve at a pressure not exceeding the tank's design pressure,
Filling/discharge pipework with ISO 3834 Welding Manufacturing Quality Competence Approval, extending from the foot valves to the filling/discharge valves and joined by welding to patented elbows.
Auxiliary Chassis
A specially designed auxiliary chassis made of steel material, compatible with the body design and providing rollover safety; it can be adapted to any type of truck chassis by bolted connection in accordance with the manufacturer's superstructure mounting instructions,
The OMEGA® monoblock connection saddles fit perfectly into the chassis mounting seats, forming a rigid structure and increasing strength,
The sprung connections at the tank's front auxiliary chassis connections distribute the force transmitted from road conditions to the body, reducing stress,
The parts making up the chassis construction are manufactured in perfect harmony by certified welders using synergic welding machines within the scope of the ISO 3834 Welding Manufacturing Quality Competence Approval.
Chassis Equipment
- Fender
- Semi-circular hard plastic fender mounted with an aluminium clamp on each wheel
- Mudflap (Spray Guard)
- Component type-approved anti-spray mudflap compliant with the 109/2011/EU regulation
- Side Protection
- Protection equipment compliant with the ECE R 73 regulation (bicycle guard, etc.)
Paint
The painting process is carried out with at least 2 coats of epoxy primer,
“OVEN PAINT” application as a final coat with 2 coats of acrylic paint,
Thanks to the advanced technical equipment, a homogeneous distribution at every point of the body and a surface gloss at the level of varnished-paint gloss are achieved.
