Tank Manifold Systems
Unique Welding & Fabricating Durable Tank Manifold Systems
Unique Welding & Fabricating custom manufactured Mechanical & Air Operated Manifolds are designed to be used on tanker trucks hauling a variety of products that unload multiple compartments by a pump system. The dual bank manifolds are designed for a tank with two pumps offloading systems. It can be specified to accommodate a bottom loading, gravity -unloading and product return. All steel body construction design with stainless steel and aluminum options.
Tank manifold systems are integral to the operation of tanker trucks, playing a crucial role in managing the flow and distribution of liquid cargo. Tank manifold systems are engineered to handle various types of fluids efficiently, from water and chemicals to petroleum products and food-grade liquids. A well-designed tank manifold system ensures smooth loading, unloading, and transfer processes while adhering to safety and regulatory standards.
Key Benefits of our Tank Manifold Systems
- Our Tank Manifold Systems helps improve the quality and performance of your fuel delivery service.
- Eliminate the number of adapters, couplers, and jumper hoses needed to unload fuel.
- Improves driver productivity.
- Improves driver safety.
- Eliminates mess and hassles.
- Reduces environmental hazards and clean-up costs.
- Ensure that pipe connections are correctly matched with fuel compartments before any fuel can be unloaded.
- Ensures quality control on all deliveries.
- Reduces potential product cross-contamination.
- Enhances security.
The air activated manifold chamber is a double acting cylinder assembly that guarantees valve opening/closing every time. Its closed loop pneumatic system keeps debris from entering the valve. Interlocked/Independent Manifold galleries allow two different fuel types which can be dispensed from the same vehicle by simply selecting between the two independent manifold galleries. The air activated system only allows one manifold to be opened at any time. The manifold galleries are specific to either a gasoline or the diesel PTO and pump, this means that the manifold chambers are discriminate depending on the fuel selected to ensure that cross contamination is never a problem.
Efficient Functioning of Unique’s Tank Manifold Systems
A manifold system in a tanker truck acts as a centralized hub that controls the distribution and collection of liquids within the tank. It typically consists of a series of valves, pipes, and fittings that direct the flow of liquid to and from different compartments. The primary functions of a tank manifold system include:
Loading and Unloading:
Tank manifold systems streamline the loading and unloading processes of tanker trucks. During loading, the system directs liquid from the source to the tank compartments, ensuring even distribution and preventing overfilling. During unloading, the system facilitates the transfer of liquid from the tank to the receiving facility, with valves and controls managing the flow rate and direction.
Fluid Distribution:
In tankers with multiple compartments, the manifold system is responsible for distributing liquid to each compartment according to its capacity and requirements. This is particularly important for tankers transporting different types of liquids or hazardous materials that need to be kept separate.
Flow Control:
Proper flow control is essential to avoid issues such as spillage, overpressure, or uneven distribution. The manifold system's valves and flow meters work together to regulate the liquid flow, maintaining consistent pressure and flow rates throughout the system.
Emergency Management:
Tank manifold systems are equipped with safety features to handle emergencies. These can include pressure relief valves to prevent overpressure, emergency shutoff valves to quickly close off the flow in case of a leak or spill, and leak detection systems that alert operators to potential issues.
Durability and Reliability are what Unique’s Tank Manifold Systems are all about.
- Engineered for Durability: Tank Manifold Systems bodies are built from top grade steel with the options of stainless steel and aluminum for durability and reliability. They are built to withstand heavy usage with the appropriate fittings that are durable and resistant to the corrosive effects of the liquids, ensuring long-lasting performance.
- Custom Built to meet your Specifications:Our Tank Manifold Systems are available in different sizes and types; 3” & 4” single and double bank compartments with all steel body and options of stainless steel and aluminum. Unique specifications catering to a wide range of applications from military use to industrial and commercial.
