Member Request: Wilmar Sugar Australia – “Bulk Liquid Loading of Road Tankers”

Dear Members, 

Wilmar Sugar Australia are currently looking to improve the way in which road tankers are filled with liquid sugar at our load-out terminal, with a view to:

  • Eliminate trip hazards presented by flexible hoses
  • Provide a ‘weightless’ connection experience for the operator
  • Safeguard against trucks driving away whilst still connected
  • Maintain food hygiene requirements

Road tankers are bottom filled at a rate of approximately 50 m3/hr.

We would welcome any guidance from organisations within Best Practice Network that have successfully implemented any bulk liquid load-out equipment or facilities to address any of the above criteria.

We would appreciate feedback on:

  • Equipment options and how well they have performed
  • Designers and suppliers

We look forward to receiving your feedback, guidance and comments and would welcome the opportunity to discuss further.

If you can help, please email: [email protected]

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
