Who is Cavotec • Cavotec is a global engineering group, developing innovative solutions that help industry operate more efficiently and more sustainably. • We design and manufacture systems for the Airports, Ports and Maritime, Mining and Tunneling and General Industry sectors. • Innovative ideas and advanced engineering define our systems and characterize the Cavotec Group as a whole. • Our engineers seek to challenge and improve existing practice, wherever possible.
Products and Solutions for Aviation Fueling THE FLOW OF AVIATION FUEL 2. Tank Equipment & Storage (Inventory Control) 1. Fuel Unloading/Receiving 3. Fuel Loading/Supply 4. Innovative Solutions:• Skids for metering or loading • Pressure & Surge Control • Design & Engineering
Today’s Coverage • Cavotec Meyerinck Swivel joint- a unique design • The Swivel role in Truck Loading arms • The Swivel role in Tank floating suction units ….highlighting operational benefits and safety of the end users
Cavotec Meyerinck Swivel Joints • Swivel Joint is the Core component of each Industrial • Loading Arm and Tank Floating Suction unit • Most advanced design in 2”to 32”sizes • Sandwich design, e.g. no cutting or welding required • All Stainless steel ( 304/316) • Cavotec Meyerinck is the only manufacturer providing Swivel Joints with • 2, 3 or 4 bearings according to the load which will apply • Cavotec Meyerinck is the only manufacturer providing a Swivel Joint with • 2 active seals • Electrical resistance < 10 • Advantage : specific Swivel types for specific load areas of a Loading arm
Swivel Joint Technology What is Swivel role in a Loading Arm ? Loading Arms connect a stationary storage tank/source to a moveable container ( trucks/rail cars etc.) Since the positioning of the moveable vessel is not always the same, the rigid pipe of the Loading Arm has to follow 3-dimensional movements !
Swivel Joint Technology Internal Pressure Bending Moment tight Rotation Principal task of swivel joint is to: • Allow Axial rotation of pipe elements relative to each other • Transmit mechanical and pressure loads • Remain leak free whilst rotated under load for long trouble free operation
Swivels in use here.... Jet fuel unloading Heated Loading Arm for high viscous products Bottom Hose Loading Arm for Fuel Ammonia loading with vapour return
…..and here for liquid media Loading Arm for Bio Diesel Loading Arm with telescope and vapour return
Swivel Joint Technology Cavotec Swivels classified into 3 types in a typical arm: High Performance Classic Heavy Duty
Swivel Joint Technology A Swivel Joint Test Rig Swivel joint rotation – bending moment – internal pressure
Swivel Joint Technology … in other words, Swivel Joints are used: • For leak free and easy rotation of the pipeline under working pressure • and many years of problem-free and SAFE operation!
Swivel Joint Technology Avoiding this…. ..by this!
Swivels in Floating Suction Units The Slim Giant for bigger sizes
FLOATING SUCTION UNITS Slim Giant …a new generation Swivel joint for Floating Suction Units! • Swivel Joint features: • Slim dimension makes installation flexible • Flanged on both sides • Heavy duty construction for long-living • Extra strong bearing with special hard steel race • Double safe: • two (2) sealings • • drip tight against under- & over pressure • Flanges are O-ring sealed • Completely machined design (not welded) x • Available in steel and stainless steel • In case of a ball bearing failure the cage bearing can be • replaced. No necessity to replace the complete swivel • joint! x Welding procedures at the swivel joint influence negatively the accuracy of the swivel joint bearings and from that the lifetime of bearings and sealings. A welded swivel joint cannot be reconditioned when the bearing and sealing surfaces are damaged. 12" • 16" • 18" • 20" • 24" • 28" • 32 "
Industrial Loading Arms for liquid media • Certificates & Regulations • DIN EN ISO 9001 certified company • Certified Swivel Joint in accordance to • European Directive 2008/50/EC • “Ambient Air Quality for Swivel Joints” • European Directive 97/23/EC • “PED-Pressure Equipment Directive” • European Directive 94/9/EC • “ATEX-Mechanical Explosion Safety” • • European Directive 2006/42/EG • “Machinery Rule” • Military approval for USAF/NATO • according to STS-Z1 • ASTM standards
Summary • Using important Fuel terminal equipments such as Loading arms and FSU‘s with high quality swivels: • Offers safe work environment with no leakages of product • Offers un-interrupted work environment owing to long proven life of the mentioned units ( 5 years warranty on swivels) • Safe to also handle hazardous products • Even in times of maintenance, MTTR ( mean time to repair) for Cavotec Swivels is the lowest and • Easy handling reducing health hazards
