FMC Floating Suctions are able to siphon a product from just under the product surface, regardless of the surface level. This innovative design avoids sucking up particles or sediment deposited at the bottom of the reservoir. FMC designed the floating suctions to meet all requirements of reservoir size, submerged environment sealability and compatibility with stored liquid.
The FMC Floating Suction is equipped with swivel joints and a float. It adjusts itself automatically to the level of the product, thus guaranteeing uncontaminated transfer. A low stop prevents the floater from dropping to the deposit area.
When a floating suction is used in underground tanks, the piping can be equipped with a non-return valve, in order to preventing back flow into the tank.
The control cable enables:
- Gauging of the liquid level inside the tank
- Checking the smooth operation of the floating suction
- Lifting and removing the floating suction for maintenance
