Mongoose™ Fluid Transfer System
The OPW Mongoose™ Fluid Transfer System is specifically
designed to help companies improve worker safety and performance by replacing
hose-based “snake pit” operations with an organized system of
self-balanced, articulating fluid transfer arms. The Mongoose™ system
is neat and organized, which improves productivity and dramatically reduces
the tripping, heavy lifting and moving hazards of the traditional “snake
pit” caused by the use of hoses.
The Mongoose™ system is particularly beneficial in
blending operations and drum filling operations where finished product manifold
and raw material manifold systems use multiple transfer lines and hoses.
Because every snake pit operation is unique, every Mongoose™ system
is designed to meet customer-specific application requirements. This requires
design collaboration between your company and OPW’s design and engineering
team to ensure creation of the most effective system possible. OPW applies
a regimented design process that begins with a complete site analysis. This
site analysis identifies the project’s objectives and provides and
in-depth evaluation of connectivity requirements and percentages, structural
restrictions, and existing conditions. Once the site analysis is complete,
a system recommendation is provided along with potential project costs.
A
Mongoose™ system can be developed to improve virtually any type of
existing snake pit or transfer system that uses multiple destinations and
connections, including rotary, horizontal and vertical drop configurations.
With the Mongoose™, the snake pit is cleaned-up and out of the way.
No more lifting or time-consuming sorting of hoses to find the right hose
for the fitting connection. And, all OPW loading arms can be designed to
be piggable, so line clean-up is quick and efficient.
