Bulk Handling
Carbis, as a company, was established in 1930 by Samuel Carbis and has, since then, refined the market for faster delivery at a lower cost in terms of both safety and manpower. The Carbis bulk handling system has addressed the issues of injury through the utilisation of articulated pipe systems. This greatly reduces the risk of 'spills' with an associated higher safety margin to workers loading and unloading from ships and barges at the dockside. For over 20 years the Carbis bulk handling system has been the preferred method for the transfer of liquid goods. The Carbis website provides detailed information on the benefits of bulk handling. Go to http://www.carbis.net to see why Carbis articulated pipe system is becoming the preferred method for many port authorities. Government Agencies and Port Authorities alike both realise the advantages associated with a more efficient bulk handling system. The Carbis website at http://www.carbis.net clearly illustrates the benefits attached to the Carbis bulk handling procedure. This technique is a cleaner alternative to the previously use of hoses, the automation makes for quicker unloading, and the safety aspect is clearly an additional necessity in these days of burgeoning health and safety legislation. Visit http://www.carbis.net to see why the bulk handling equipment from Carbis are such a necessary addition to any operation.
The Carbis bulk handling system has now found additional popularity as it is based on the mainland USA, reducing the necessity for taking into account exchange rates from offshore bulk handling businesses. Today's unpredictable economy makes it more of a necessity to take costs and distances into account when hiring equipment for bulk handling. Take a look at the variety of bulk handling equipment available on the Carbis website: http://www.carbis.net. The outstanding quality and enhanced designs make the bulk handling equipment an essential addition to dock-side machinery. The Carbis company are based in South Carolina, providing easy access to new parts. There are no unacceptable delays or uneconomical exchange rates associated with ordering new parts from the Carbis bulk handling facility in Florence or Darlington. All Carbis bulk handling products are manufactured to a standard expected of mainland US products. The need for new parts is drastically reduced due to the enhanced standards of manufacture which ensure each product leaves the Carbis facility having passed rigorous QA standards.
Visiting the Carbis website, http://www.carbis.net, provides additional information on their enhanced standards of production. Carbis do not just supply the domestic market, but export their bulk handling equipment to a global market, with parts and service available worldwide and customised to individual requirements as necessary. When it comes to standardisation of bulk handling equipment, this widespread provision provides a welcome asset to the marine handling market. The actual design features swivel joints, with three split flanges to ensure optimal articulation, with pipe sizes of between 4 inch and 12 inch bore to alternate the liquid flow speed. The articulated piping is supplied with either manual counterweights or with a complete hydraulic system. Any fluid or non-cryogenic liquefied gas can be transported through the articulated piping system, up to the specification of 90% sulphuric acid, including many hazardous materials and flammable supplies. The piping system is manufactured from stainless steel, suitable for food grade products, to carbon steel or alloys, depending on the most appropriate bulk handling system necessary for your personal requirements. Contact Carbis today for a first rate customer service experience: http://www.carbis.net. You will not be disappointed.
Suitable for Nearly All Liquids Carbis barge loading arms handle almost any fluid or non-cryogenic liquefied gas, from water through 90% sulfuric acid, petroleum products, hazardous materials, flammable materials, food grade products, and much more. We'll help you choose from carbon steel, stainless steel or other alloys to assure the most suitable material to handle your product.
Fully Compliant with Engineering and Safety Codes Carbis products meet all design and construction specifications for marine loading arms as detailed by the OCIMF (Oil Companies International Marine Forum). They can also meet API and NFPA requirements. Manufacturing facilities hold the range of certifications to ensure the proper design and fabrication procedures you'll demand. These include: AISC Conventional Steel Structures AISC Complex Steel Building Structures AWS D1.1 - D1.4 ASME B31.3 ASME B16.5 ASME B16.11 ASTM Metallurgy and Sealing Options Assure Compatibility Your marine loading arm can be fabricated from most ferrous alloys used in industrial process piping systems. While most are fabricated in carbon steel and stainless steel, you can specify other metals, as well. Carbis marine loading arms feature split flange swivel joints that disassemble quickly and easily for seal change out or maintenance. A full selection of polymers is available, including: Buna rubber Viton® Teflon® (PTFE) EPDM (EPT/Ethylene Propylene) Chemraz® Kalrez® Food grade seals and grease (in certain sizes) Accessories to Enhance Operation and Safety Your marine loading arms can be outfitted with a variety of accessories to make operation easier and safer. For hydraulic arms, we supply complete hydraulics packs with control panels. We also offer a variety of remote control units, position indicators, and over travel alarms. The emergency release coupling (see photo) is also a popular option for the utmost in safety and environmental stewardship. The optional emergency breakaway coupling allows the loading arm to break free of a barge or ship and seal almost instantly to prevent product spills and equipment damage.
Safety Audits and Inspections Our global leadership in safety and access extends beyond our products. We're routinely relied upon to conduct safety audits for our customers, which include most Fortune 1000 manufacturing companies. We often serve in a unique consulting role for facility design and ongoing safety compliance programs. Barge Access Equipment
Carbis' barge access equipment is designed and manufactured to meet your specific needs and provide the safest access possible. Most often, barge access systems require custom fitting to docks and around existing obstructionsFeatures Equipment can adjust to variations in tide and barge equipment. Constructed out of marine grade aluminum. Available as telescoping units for added versatility. Can be operated by crane, winch, hydraulic, or pneumatic drives.
Mounting Options Include: Pivot mounting - permits access to various locations on the barge. Limited to the reach from a fixed mounting point. Track mounting - permits the unit to travel up and down the dock to allow widespread access to one or several barges. Float mode - allows the barge leeway in drifting under the gangway.
