- Hot dip galvanized stair, walkway and handrail
-
SKID MOUNTED LOADING – UNLOADING SYSTEMS - ”LUS”
AMATEC’s Loading – Unloading System “LUS” is a consolidated unit complete with all elements required to transfer aviation fuel into holding tanks – transport tanks.
The LUS general design includes separate lines for fuel unloading and loading, each fitted with self priming pump, filter water separator and ancillaries. It can be configured for aircraft refuelling as well.
The Eexd control system can include hardwired relay logic in order to guarantee the correct valve opening sequence for each operation. Optional can be added to the system to suit customers’ specific requirements such as:
- Test Rig circuit
- Relaxation chamber
- In line closed sampling circuit
- Refueler / Bridger bonding verification unit
-
AVIATION FUEL TRAILER – “AFT”
The Aviation Fuel Trailer (AFT) is designed to perform the following operations even in remote areas without infrastructures:
- Fuel receipt from a road tanker or fuel carrying aircraft
- Fuel transfer and filtration within installations (bladder to bladder; tank to tank)
- De-fuelling an aircraft
- Refuelling an aircraft
The AFT is available in different flow-rates and executions. The main components are:
- Steel structure welded on a chassis with fifth wheel
- driven engine C/W spark arrestor
- Inlet / outlet manifold with self-seal adapters
- Positive displacement pump with inlet filter
- Filter water separator or filter monitor meeting EI 1581 / EI 1583 latest standards
- Flow meter
- Hose reel with aviation refuelling hose
- Overwing / underwing nozzles
- SS fuel recovery tank for the collection of drained and fuel samples
- All necessary safety devices
