Loading technology for transferring liquids and gases
Safe and efficient loading and unloading to and from tankers, tank wagons and ships
We develop and manufacture customised loading systems for the safe and efficient transfer of liquids, gases and chemicals, enabling the reliable loading and unloading of tank trucks, tank wagons and tankers. With many years of experience and technical expertise, we offer systems that meet the highest safety standards, optimise your processes in the long term and make them future-proof.
Our loading technology is used successfully in numerous industries, including the chemical, petrochemical, food and beverage, cement and many other industries. Our services are available across the globe, with our headquarters based in Germany. As a matter of course, we take into account special requirements such as ATEX conformity in potentially explosive areas, the provisions of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and the highest hygiene requirements.
