Floating Suction Assembly

The Vens floating suction assembly draws product from just below the liquid surface in a storage tank, where it is cleanest. A pontoon float carries the suction inlet, and a stainless steel arm with a swivel joint at the tank nozzle lets the inlet follow the level.
Landing legs support the float when the tank is drained, and the assembly is built to suit the tank nozzle and product.
