IP Pressure Sensors for Tanker filled silos

Pressure Sensors for Tanker filled silosFilquip is proud to supply the Torex IPE Electronic Pressure Meter and IPM Mechanical Pressure Meter for monitoring of the pressure inside bins or silos during their filling from tankers and specifically during the purging of then tanker truck.

  • The pressure sensor membrane is self-cleaning and temperature resistant
  • The casing is aluminium alloy with IP55 protection rating.
  • Available with 4-20 mA output signal configurations for the IPE.
  • 24VDC supply voltage.
  • IPX mounting spigot available for simple installation onto any silo

If your installing a new truck or tanker filled silo storage system or upgrading an existing silo system then the IPE/IPM Pressure meter is a key component for managing over pressurisation before the relief valve is activated, thus avoiding any emissions to the surroundings.

Seperation of cement fines from reclaimed concrete truck wash water – Filquip Filter Press

Filquip has recently completed trials of its Filter Press units on the washRemoving suspended solids with filter pressFilter Press
out water from concrete trucks. The concrete returned from the job to the batch plant is washed out of the agitator truck into a pit or concrete reclaimer system (See WAM Consep concrete reclaimer). The wash water is separated from the sands and aggregates but contains suspended solids preventing it from being discharged to the sewer or re-used in concrete production.

A three plate trial Filquip filter press was setup and processed 3.6m3/hr of the reclaimed water slurry separating the suspended fines out.

Filtering the reclaimed water reduces the costs of using vacuum trucks to clean out the settled solids in tanks.
