What is OPW A-Frame Hose Loader AFH-32-F used for?
OPW A-Frame Hose Loader AFH-32-F is used for bottom loading of petroleum products and vapor-recovery duties where a compact A-frame arrangement with a flexible outboard hose is preferred. Its configuration is selected around the loading geometry and transfer duty. AxFlow can help define the appropriate arrangement for a specific terminal.
How does OPW A-Frame Hose Loader AFH-32-F work?
The verified operating principle is that the AFH uses flexible hose instead of rigid secondary piping and stores in an upright near-vertical position; 360° rotation allows loading from either side of the bay. This provides the movement or control needed at the loading point. Exact configuration depends on the installed piping and connection requirements.
What technical data should be checked for OPW A-Frame Hose Loader AFH-32-F?
OPW documents that current OPW information specifies the 790 EZ Adjust torsion spring, carbon-steel/aluminum construction, low-temperature fluorocarbon seals and braided stainless-steel or composite hose options. These values provide a basis for screening the application. Final selection must also consider the actual medium, pressure, temperature and site geometry.
How do I choose the correct OPW A-Frame Hose Loader AFH-32-F configuration?
Check feed orientation, handedness, hose material, media, riser height, coupler and vapor-recovery requirements. These parameters determine the suitable arm, material and connection arrangement. AxFlow can support product selection and availability checks.
Can AxFlow provide service and spare parts for OPW A-Frame Hose Loader AFH-32-F?
AxFlow can support service and spare-parts enquiries for OPW loading equipment. The correct parts depend on the installed configuration and revision. Supplying identification details helps confirm the appropriate components before ordering.
