System for draining and securing LPG tanks in end-of-life vehicles or during cylinder replacement and inspection.
Main features:
For the treatment of gas-powered vehicles, it is essential to use dedicated equipment that ensures high safety standards during LPG tank draining operations.
SGR G is a station designed for the recovery and safe handling of LPG tanks in end-of-life vehicles and in cases of cylinder replacement or inspection. The system allows LPG draining and recovery operations. The pumping system is fully pneumatic, with no electrical components, and powered by compressed air.
The LPG cycle involves draining the liquid fraction of the fuel, which is transferred into storage cylinders, while the remaining gaseous fraction is directed to the burner. At the end of the process, the tank is washed with nitrogen to ensure safety and make it suitable for disposal.
SGR G is a system compliant with current technical and regulatory requirements in Italy for draining and decontaminating LPG tanks. It is supplied complete with accessories and supported by specialised technical assistance.
It is available in three configurations: LPG recovery + methane draining (GM), LPG draining and recovery (G), or methane draining (M). The system includes a burner for combustion of gaseous residues, a nitrogen pressure reducer with gauges, and adapter kits for tank connection.
The equipment integrates safety devices to reduce gas leak risks and to intervene in case of operational anomalies or operator errors. The machine is CE ATEX IIG3 IIA T3 certified.
