Features
Wiese Europe floating suction units enable clean and efficient product extraction from storage tanks by drawing liquid from just below the surface. This approach reduces sediment intake, limits turbulence and protects downstream equipment during transfer operations. Designed for reliability and long service life, the units combine smooth swivel movement, robust materials and precise sealing to ensure consistent performance in demanding industrial environments.
- Swivel joint with low friction
- Product seal suitable for suction pipes in low or high pressure applications
- Connection by standardised flange
- Integrated anti-vortex system to eliminate turbulence
- Designed for stable low-position operation
- Stainless steel safety cable to monitor proper functioning of the suction unit
- Single as well as multi-arm configuration depending on the tank height/diameter.
Materials
Wiese Europe floating suction units are manufactured using carefully selected materials to ensure reliable operation, corrosion resistance and long term durability in demanding storage and transfer applications. Depending on the product type, operating conditions and tank environment, components can be executed in aluminium, carbon steel or stainless steel, combined with high performance sealing materials such as Viton or PTFE for optimal compatibility and sealing performance.
