OPTIONS AVAILABLE

PREWIRING: Retractable Bulk Loading Spout accessories are completely prewired to a common NEMA 4X junction box with a numbered terminal strip located on the main pan assembly. Prepiping is also available for pneumatic vibrators if applicable. Wiring is contained inside liquid tight conduit or hard piping as required for (XP) applications. (XP) junction boxes are also available.

MOTOR PREWIRING: MIDWEST can prewire loading spout drive motor to an independent NEMA 4X or (XP) junction box. NOTE: Usually applies to multiple equipment stackups consisting of loading spout and positioner or Vaculoader™. MIDWEST supplied motor controls (MCC) are also available.

SEALING CONE ASSEMBLY: Eliminates loose product from falling on vehicle or floor during or after retraction of loading spout. The MIDWEST SEALTITE™ Sealing Cone should be factory installed and is available for Class I A, I B, III, III A and IV construction. NOTE: Adds 11.5” (292.1mm) to retracted height.

PRODUCT TRIMMER: MIDWEST electrical or pneumatic driven SPINTRIM™I, to 50 STPH flat blade centrifugal type. Alternate SPINSEAL™ to 50 STPH with integral sealing cone feature. For trimmers larger than 50 STPH refer to MD/V30 series.

OPERATOR CONTROLS AND MOTOR CONTROLS (MCC): Available for all models. Refer to MIDWEST Electrical Options. Consult factory for pricing.

ACCESSORIES AVAILABLE

LIMIT SWITCH, THIRD INTERMEDIATE POSITION: Provides an intermediate set point to shut down product feed or provide an intermediate electrical signal. Example: A short height above vehicle hatch when frequent loading is common. This allows spout to not be fully retracted after each vehicle has been loaded to reduce time to raise and lower.

SLACK CABLE LIMIT SWITCH KIT: Available for loading enclosed vehicles when spout enclosed vehicle scavenger makes contact with the rim of an enclosed vehicle hatch or side of an open truck. This option includes (2) NEMA 4 DPDT lever limit switches which shut off drive motor when contact is made by either switch. Temperature range,(230ºF max. to -40ºF min.). Refer to MAIN PAN construction with (2) hinged side access doors for lift cable and limit switch inspection.

AUTOMATIC LEVEL SENSING KIT: Used to provide a signal to the loading operator that the vehicle is full, or can be used to automatically shut off the feed supply gate, valve, air gravity conveyor, or to place the withdrawal valve in a "JOG" mode for topping off vehicle. Available with a Type "A" tilt probe, Type "B" pressure switch, Type "C" capacitance probe, or Type "D" infrared sensor. A NEMA 4X controller is included with green “Normal” and red “High Level or Full” indicator light and (2) position “on - off” selector switch. The controller is normally shipped loose for field installation but can be installed on the spout main pan assembly at additional cost. Refer to prewiring options.

COMBINATION AUTOMATIC RAISING-LEVEL SENSING KIT: When loading both enclosed and open vehicles with product, an (EV) Enclosed Vehicle tappered scavenger is used. The Combination Automatic Raising-Level Sensing Kit will allow the loadout operator to select the sensing probe mode, i.e; to sense the level of product in an enclosed vehicle or container as it becomes full or when the automatic raising mode is selected, the spout retracting drive will automatically retract the spout as the product contacts the probe. A NEMA 4X controller is included with green “Normal”(non raising), amber "Raising", and red “High Level or Full” indicator lights and (2) position selector switch “open vehicle”-“enclosed vehicle”. The controller is normally shipped loose for field installation but can be pre-installed on the spout main pan assembly at additional cost. Refer to prewiring option. When using this accessory for both enclosed and open vehicles an 18” long (OV) flexable outer skirt is available; consult factory for pricing.

AIR VIBRATOR KIT: Two (2) piston type air vibrators can be located on lower lifting ring to vibrate loose product from inside of spout after loading. Vibrators are controlled by a 120 VAC or 240 VAC NEMA 4X solenoid valve located on the main pan. Vibrators and solenoid valve are connected by a flexible air line festooned down the back of the Rhinoflex™ Flexible Outer Spout. Air supply and field connection to valve are the customer's responsibilities. Plant air consumption 6 CFM @ 45/100 PSI.

FILTER REGULATOR LUBRICATOR (VIBRATORS): Includes .5 (1/2") NPT maintainence valve with lock out feature.

HATCH ADAPTOR: To accommodate larger truck or railcar hatches. Standard sizes 42" square or 36" round. Consult factory for details and other sizes. Specify class of construction, Class IA, IB, III, or IIIA available.
