Safely refueling trucks with Diesel from a storage tank

A 2,000-liter outdoor diesel tank is used to refuel trucks. Manual refilling from canisters is labor-intensive and poses safety risks due to heat exposure and fuel handling.

Solution
F 430 S Ex drum pump with F 460 Ex commutator motor

Task

Refueling trucks from a 2,000-liter outdoor diesel tank. Currently, refueling is done manually using 20-liter canisters. The goal is to safely transfer diesel fuel while reducing the workload and risks associated with heat exposure and manual transfer.

Requirements
  • Safe Conveyance of Flammable Media  
  • Reduction of manual strain  
  • Suitable for outdoor use
Solution in Detail

An F 430 S Ex explosion-proof drum pump with an F 460 Ex commutator motor is installed directly in the tank. When combined with a mineral oil hose and a dispensing nozzle, it enables controlled and mobile refueling of diesel.
