Automated Cargo Transport Systems Automatic Pneumatic Tanker Trailer Unloading with Silo Monitoring

Welcome to Automated Cargo Transport Systems

Complete Automatic Unloading

• Increase deliveries per day per tractor
• Reduce tractors by as much as 50%
• Bottom line growth as high as 200%

We automate the delivery of dry bulk products and overcome problems normally associated with the delivery cycle.

Acts uses a VEGA® Radar Level Sensor that is not affected by dusty environments.

The silo communication panel controls the functionality of the blower and compressed air. also, The level sensor signal can be converted into, Tons, Kilograms, Gallons or whatever the customer requests.

Information is sent by modem to a secure website accessible 24/7.

The tanker control panel unloads the tanker safely by monitoring tanker pressure, line pressure and all valve positions.

The Manifold allows you to unload the tanker manually if the silo does not have the Automated Cargo Transport System installed.

The unloading is automatic allowing the driver to hook up to an empty tanker and get another load.

Here's how it works

Initiate the unloading cycle by pushing the START button on the silo communication panel.

The line valve will remain closed while the blower builds up the needed operating pressure in the tanker

The line valve will open to make sure the line is clear and free of obstructions

Next, The first hopper will open, releasing the product through the line.

While the hoppers are unloading, the line valve will adjust, to maintain, tank and line pressure.

When the tank pressure drops to 7 PSI, it will automatically close the first hopper, and open the next hopper.

While unloading, if the line pressure starts to climb, the computer will prevent, plugs from happening by opening the line valve 100% and closing the hopper valve by doing this it will clear the line then continue to unload.

While unloading For safety, the tanker PLC monitors the tank and product line pressure.

It will make adjustments while unloading the tanker. If it gets to a critical pressure, it will shut down the system.

If, the communication and power cables disconnect the system will shut down.

If the tanker system loses communication with the level sensor it will go automatically to a high level, to prevent overfilling the silo.

There is a flow sensor connected to the product line on the silo that communicates product flow to the silo panel. So, if a hose gets disconnected it will shut the system down.

Again, the tank pressure drops to 7 PSI, then will automatically close the second hopper and open the next hopper.

After the last hopper reaches 7 psi the system will go into the final clean cycle and clean out all the hoppers

After the clean-out cycle has been completed the blower will shut off and the silo communication panel will indicate the unloading process has been completed

By accessing the secure website you will have immediate access to silo level information, unloading system status and also 30 days of historical information

You can also enable email or text message notifications

Having a tanker automatically unload unsupervised this sounds too good to be true.

But it's not

Connect the blower hose, connect the product hose, connect the compressed air & connect the communication cable.

Consistently reading tank and line pressure makes adjustments in seconds.

No waiting for silo capacity & no overfilled silos.

The tanker unloading procedure is 100% consistent.
