Slide2: 

is an automatic shut-off system that is installed on the saddle fill hose. It consists of three simply designed parts: A filling nozzle with a built-in sensor (A) An electronically operated solenoid valve (B) A control box (C)

Slide3: 

Advantages: No moving parts except for the valve Simply designed, rugged components Reduces environmental risk by reducing process water, thereby reducing treatment costs and water containment volumes, and possibly EPA concerns In cold weather, curbs hot water waste from overfilling that may cause shortages, shipping delays, and/or money

Slide4: 

1. Portland Cement Concrete Truck pulls underneath the plant to get loaded with water. Sequence of Operation Note that the Sensor has been dropped onto the concrete by drivers. The SmartStop® Sensor is built to take the abuse of being dropped many times, even though it should be stored in the 4” pipe holder welded to the pipe support.

Slide5: 

2. Concrete truck driver bends down to pick up the Sensor that is attached to the 1 1/2” hose.

Slide6: 

3. This is the 4” opening (spring loaded flapper) on the truck water tank that the Sensor is inserted into. Note: When the pressure has not been taken off of the water tank, the SmartStop® Sensor will repeatedly bang onto the flapper, but our rugged Stainless Steel sensor will not sustain any damage

Slide7: 

4. This is the 150 or 200 gallon water storage tank on a concrete mixer truck.

Slide8: 

5. The driver inserts the Sensor into the water storage tank and then will push the start button on the fill-stop station to start the flow of water.

Slide9: 

6. The Sensor is in the water tank and water is flowing into the tank.

Slide10: 

7. The Green “Go” light is now lit on the fill-stop station, indicating the valve is open and the tank is being filled with water.

Slide11: 

8. The tank is now filled with 140º F water, and the flow has stopped. The driver is removing the Sensor from the tank. Note the steam

Slide12: 

9. The red light lit up on the fill-stop station, which indicates that the water flow has stopped and the tank is filled. The driver completely removes the Sensor. Note: The sight glass is not operating properly (it indicates that the tank is only half-filled) but the tank is in actuality filled to the top.

Slide13: 

10. Close-up view of the Red “Stop” light on the fill-stop station that lights up when the fill is complete, signaling that that the truck is ready to go.

Slide14: 

A smart investment that pays for itself by saving you money with reduced energy and water costs, fewer shortages and shipping delays, and possibly avoidance of EPA-generated questions.
