Cryogenic Trailer Filling System
Description
The unattended and automated filling of trailers for cryogenic
products requires constant monitoring of pressure and flow and
knowledge of the capacities and on-road weight limitations.
The system is compatible with both weight scales and mass-flowmeters.
It uses a database of trailers and tractors to determine the
fill quantity and monitors the optimum filling of the trailer
with minimal operator intervention. It can also adjust the
content for specific road weight limitations. And, of course,
it does the paperwork once the loading is completed.
When complemented with our automated QC system, the analysis
certificate for the load can be completed on the spot.
The standalone PLC driven system can fill 8 trucks
simultaneously. Its unique multi-stage safety architecture
prevents accidental spills and minimizes venting losses.
Its MMI (Man Machine Interface) package, running on a remote
PC, allows operator setups, data-logging, database
maintenance, and report generation.
A secure key-lock variant of this system permits customers to
load their own trailers using smart card technology.
