On the occasion of StocExpo 2026, Silea Liquid Transfer presents a “concept” loading arm that represents a concrete evolution in the way custom solutions are designed for complex industrial applications.
The project was developed to meet stringent technical requirements — extreme temperatures, high-risk environments, and industry regulations — without compromising ease of installation, maintenance, and long-term management.

The challenge

The design challenge was to combine certified technical performance, operational safety, maintenance optimization, and fast component availability, in a context where insulation integrity plays a crucial role in ensuring system efficiency and stability.

The engineering solution

The loading arm integrates an innovative combination of traditional insulation and removable insulated covers, designed to:

• Optimize production workflow and reduce lead times
• Ensure safety during handling and packaging
• Facilitate routine and extraordinary maintenance operations
• Standardize components while ensuring prompt customer support in case of replacement

The use of lightweight, safe, and easy-to-apply materials also enables customers to operate with greater autonomy, without risk of deterioration.

The value of customization

This loading arm demonstrates that a custom solution does not simply mean adapting to project specifications, but optimizing the entire product life cycle.
Compared to standard configurations, it offers:

• Greater resistance to impacts and mechanical stress during installation and operation
• Elimination of performance loss risks caused by improper insulation rework
• Stock availability of removable covers for fast replacement
• Preservation of technical characteristics over time, even on aging loading arms

The message at StocExpo 2026

Presenting a “concept” loading arm means introducing a vision: bringing to self-supporting loading arms the same benefits of organization, safety, and standardization typical of fixed piping systems.
Not just technical compliance, but real attention to those who install, operate, and maintain the product every day.

The Silea method

This project represents a concrete synthesis of Silea Liquid Transfer’s application know-how, where engineering design and operational vision are fully integrated.
A strong focus on production optimization and intelligent standardization is combined with attention to safety and after-sales support, outlining an approach that goes beyond simple technical execution.
It is a tangible example of how customization, when designed with method and a systemic vision, can become a measurable and continuous operational advantage.
