Swivel Joint
A swivel joint is a the most critical component in the design of a top/bottom loading arm system. It allows the loading arm to pivot, rotate – providing flexibility and enabling smooth product transfer for various applications. The swivel joint is essential for accommodating movement in the loading arm and ensuring that the fluid can be transferred safely and efficiently while maintaining a sealed connection during the process.
Key Features:
- Reduced Strain on Inboard/ Outboard Arm: The ability to rotate or pivot without putting pressure on the hose or pipe prevents damage, extending the lifespan of the loading system.
- Increased Flexibility: The swivel joint allows operators to position the loading arm more easily, regardless of the vehicle’s position, without needing to adjust or reposition the entire loading arm setup.
- Efficiency and Safety: The smooth operation provided by the high quality swivel joint makes the loading/unloading process quicker and more efficient, reducing downtime and improving productivity.
- Maintenance and Longevity: Loading arm swivel joints are built to be durable and are designed for easy maintenance. Regular lubrication and inspection of seals can extend their lifespan and ensure smooth operations.
