Our fuel pumping and dispensing skid is engineered to deliver flow rates of up to 1,200 LPM at the fuel nozzle, providing robust infrastructure for high capacity fueling operations.
To achieve dispense flow rates of up to 1,200 LPM, higher-capacity pumping equipment, along with larger fuel nozzles and receivers, is essential. In our fast-fueling module, we utilize 4-inch positive displacement pumps to ensure that the desired flow rate is maintained at the nozzle. The fuel then passes through a filter vessel to ensure it is clean and free from contaminants. Fuel flow is accurately metered using a weights-and-measures-approved meter. To accommodate the high flow rate and minimize operator strain during refueling, 3-inch spring-loaded loading arms are used, which also prevent the nozzle from coming into contact with the ground.
Merely increasing the size of the fuel nozzles and receivers is insufficient to achieve higher flow rates. To reach flow rates of up to 1,200 LPM, larger pumps, filters, meters, and dispensing equipment are necessary.
By reducing refueling times, our system enables heavy equipment to spend more time in operation, maximizing productivity and minimizing downtime. The fuel is filtered to meet the ISO 18/16/13 cleanliness standard, as required by Tier 4 equipment, preventing damage to the fuel system and further reducing the risk of equipment failure.
The skid also features an air eliminator and weights-and-measures-approved flow meters, ensuring precise fuel measurement. Additionally, spring-loaded loading arms facilitate ergonomic refueling operations, promoting both safety and efficiency throughout the fueling process.
The FX1500 features the same design and shut-off system as the existing FNBL 1.5” nozzle, but with a 2” configuration that supports fuel flow rates of up to 1,200 LPM—three times faster than current industry standards. While the nozzle is optimized for use with the FloMax Non-Pressurized Shut-Off System, it also includes a backpressure sensor, providing an additional layer of overfill protection for enhanced safety.
The FRX fuel receiver maintains the same design as the 1.5” receiver and is compatible with the standard 2” tank fitting. This allows for a seamless upgrade to the high-flow nozzle and receiver, eliminating the need for any modifications to the fuel tank.
The Non-Pressurized Shut-Off System is a positive overfill prevention solution designed for heavy equipment fuel tanks, ensuring the tank is not pressurized during refueling.
The system features a valve installed between the tank and receiver, utilizing the existing 2” threaded connection on the tank. A pilot line from this valve allows a small flow of fuel to pass to a float located at the top of the tank. Once the tank reaches full capacity, the float obstructs the flow through the pilot line, creating backpressure that triggers the valve to close. This action effectively halts the flow of fuel, preventing overfill and safeguarding the tank from excessive fuel entry.
Current systems rely on pressurizing the fuel tanks to activate the shut-off mechanism on the fuel nozzle. However, because these tanks are atmospheric and not designed to withstand pressure, this can lead to risks such as tank bulging, metal fatigue, and potential failure. Additionally, existing systems allow operators to manually override the nozzle shut-off, which increases the risk of overfilling.
In contrast, the Non-Pressurized Shutoff System prevents the operator from overriding the nozzle, ensuring that the tank is not overfilled.
Our Non-Pressurized Shutoff System enables high-speed refueling of equipment while eliminating the risk of tank failure. This system is designed to prevent any manual override of the fuel nozzle, ensuring that overfilling and potential compromise of the tank’s integrity are avoided.
