Tankkraft have designed their service trucks to transport and dispense fuel, oil and lubricants in a safe and efficient manner. These vehicles are used in a variety of industries, including drilling, exploration, construction, mining, and transportation. To ensure that their service trucks meet the needs of their customers, Tankkraft incorporates a range of innovative technologies. One of these is including pneumatic pumps and pneumatic driven hose reels. Lets take a closer look at the use of pneumatic systems on Tankkraft Service Trucks
Control Systems
Tankkraft incorporates electronic over pneumatic control systems. This means that, although the parameters of the control systems are set on an electronic screen, the actuation or functionality of the controls is carried out by pneumatics. Essentially, to ensure a simple and durable control system for the entire machine, the tank level shut-off valves and pump start stop circuits activate pneumatically.
Pneumatic Pumps
Pneumatic pumps are intrinsically safe, meaning their design allows them to operate in hazardous environments without causing any sparks or heat. This is because pneumatic pumps use compressed air as their power source. Thus eliminating the risk of electrical sparks that could ignite flammable materials. This makes them an ideal choice for industries such as oil and gas, and mining, where there is a high risk of explosion.
Pneumatic pumps are also highly efficient while offering multiple variations of flow and capacity options. This means that Tankkraft service trucks move lubricants of various viscosities, from its holding tanks to the vehicle receiving said lubricants, in the most efficient manner. This reduces the amount of downtime for the service truck, which in turn increases productivity and profitability.
In addition, pneumatic pumps require minimal maintenance, making them a cost-effective option for service trucks. They have fewer moving parts than other types of pumps. Ideally this means that there are fewer parts that can break down or malfunction. This translates to lower repair and maintenance costs over the life of the service truck.
Pneumatic Hose Reels
Pneumatic hose reels are also a valuable technology to have on a Tankkraft service truck. These reels automate the recoil of dispense hoses to safely dispense fuel, oil, air, grease, or other lubricants. Pneumatic hose reels offer several advantages over manual, hydraulic or electric hose reels. Some of these advantages include being safer to use in hazardous environments, faster, more reliable, and easier to operate.
Pneumatic hose reels are also lightweight and compact, which makes them ideal for use in service trucks. Tankkraft can install them in tight spaces, allowing the service truck to carry more equipment and materials. This means that Tankkraft service trucks can carry more load, which in turn increases their efficiency and profitability.
Overall, the advantages of using pneumatic pumps and pneumatic hose reels in Tankkraft service trucks are significant. These technologies are safer, more efficient, and more reliable than traditional hydraulic or electric systems. Incorporating these technologies into their service trucks allows Tankkraft to offer a superior product that meets the changing needs of their customers, while also reducing maintenance costs and increasing profitability.
