BOTTOM LOADING ARMS
![logotipo-emco-wheaton logotipo-emco-wheaton](https://serteces.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/logotipo-emco-wheaton-3.jpg)
Bottom loading offers benefits which cannot be achieved with top loading designs. As it takes place on the ground, it is inherently safer for the operator. It also allows for simultaneous loading of several tank compartments, increasing speed and efficiency of loading. Bottom loading is easily adaptable to vapor recovery systems.

BOTTOM LOADING ARM - LNG
This loading arm is especially designed to load LNG products and is suitable for the bottom loading / unloading of road or rail tankers.
The loading arm has a long reach and is suitable for applications where tanker connection flange cannot be accurately positioned.
Because of the robust and high quality design of the swivel joints and the precise loading arm balancing, handling of the loading arm is effortless.
The design of the stainless steel swivel joints are based on the reliable D2000 and are also equipped with an interchangeable bearing module.
The primary and secondary product seal enable the operator to monitor leakage during the whole operating time of the loading arm. In addition, the ball raceway can be purged with dry gas and the swivel joints are designed to meet the requirements of the OCIMF.

BOTTOM UNLOADING ARMS FOR RUSSIAN RAILCARS - E2704
The E2704 rail unloading arm is designed for light oil products, chemicals or high viscose products. It is equipped with a special coupler for the unloading of Russian railcars from underneath. The coupler enables a safe and quick connection, independent to the orientation of the adapter lid.
The long reach of the loading arm also enables connection to rail cars when the adapter is not positioned exactly. Due to the low offset of the swivel joints a minimum vertical height is guaranteed.
Rail loading arms for “white products” are unheated, while the loading arms for viscose products “Mazut” are equipped with an internal heating system. This system guides hot product through the loading arm into the rail car through a special telescopic nozzle assembled in the coupler.
The robust and high quality design of the swivel joints and the spring cylinder balancing gives comfortable and smooth handling of the arm.
