Marine Loading General
Arm MLA260 description
Application:
The MLA 260 series are the most efficient marine loading arms on the market,
due to their slim design and the availability of a number of design options to
ensure that specific site requirements are met in the best possible way.
The MLA260 can be used with virtually all liquids and gases which are capable
of being transferred.
Characteristics:
General
The MLA260 model has self-supporting product pipes, which are designed to
absorb all possible forces associated with structural mass, fluid weight, pressure
load and wind load.
The use of a unique double inboard arm has resulted in the smallest design
footprint possible, ensuring that the loads encountered at the MLA260
baseplate are the lowest when compared with any other type of arm.
Balancing
Balancing of the loading arm is achieved by means of a rigid pantograph
structure linking the counterweight to the outboard arm.
The counterweight is designed to rotate, thereby enabling the counterweight
to cater for two different movements. During operations, the arm will be fully
balanced irrespective whether the product pipes are full or empty. The
counterweight is adjustable to enable the balance of the arm to be fine tuned.
Special care has been given to the rotating pivots of the pantograph bar, both
in terms of design and material selection, ensuring smooth operation with a
minimum of required maintenance.
Swivel Joints
KANON swivels are an integral part of every Kanon loading arm and feature:
• 4-point contact ball-races.
• Long life lubrication.
• ‘Tell-Tale’ leakage indicators and in-situ product seal replacement.
• Corrosion proof seal-faces.
The KANON triple swivel joint assembly is self-levelling, allowing easy connection
and disconnection of the loading arm at the ship’s manifold.
Swivel joints are described in detail in separate bulletins.

Marine loading General
arm MLA262 description
Application:
The MLA262 should be selected for special applications such as the transfer of
corrosive or extremely hazardous and/or toxic fluids. The product pipeline is
supported by a separate rigid stucture. This provides the advantage that the
product line can be replaced if needed without dismantling the entire arm.
Characteristics:
General
The MLA262 is designed around a separate supporting frame structure, which is
mounted upon independent, large format bearings to absorb the forces
associated with structural mass, fluid weight and wind load. The product piping
is effectively suspended within the loading arm frame, and is only exposed to
the forces of pressure load and fluid weight. The surface of the frame
construction is minimised in order to achieve the lowest possible wind load
factor.
Balancing
Balancing of the loading arm is achieved by means of a ‘ cable wheel’ system
linking the counterweight to the outboard arm. The counterweight is designed
to rotate, thereby enabling the counterweight to cater for two different
movements.
During operations, the arm will be fully balanced irrespective whether the
product piping is full or empty. The counterweight is adjustable to enable the
balance of the arm to be fine tuned.
Swivel Joints
KANON swivels are an integral part of every Kanon loading arm and feature:
• 4-point contact ball-races.
• Long life lubrication.
• ‘Tell-Tale’ leakage indicators and in-situ product seal replacement.
• Corrosion proof seal-faces.
The KANON triple swivel joint assembly is self-levelling, allowing easy connection
and disconnection of the loading arm at the ship’s manifold.
Swivel joints are described in detail in separate bulletins.

Marine Loading Options
Arms
Operation:
Kanon Marine Loading Arms can be operated either manually or
hydraulically, depending on product pipe size, physical dimensions and
fitted accessories.
Hydraulic operation requires 2 drives for inboard and outboard arm

movement and 1 drive for slewing (rotation) movement.
Operation of the hydraulic loading arm can be effected by means of:

• Levers directly mounted to the valve block adjacent to the loading arm
standpost - (manual hydraulic operation)
• By pushbuttons on either the operator console or on the remote control
pendant box/wireless set - (electric hydraulic operation).
All KANON hydraulic and electrical control systems are inherently safe. The
hydraulic circuit includes over-pressure relief valves adjusted to 190 bar
maximum (system pressure maximum 210 bar). Specific details of hydraulic
controls are provided in separate bulletins.
Accessories:
Depending on customers needs, the following options can be offered:
• Vapour return line, piggy back style.
• Drain, purge, flush, product recovery and pigging systems.
• Quick connect/disconnect coupling.
• Vacuum breaker.
• Shut-off valve.
• In-situ replacement of swivel joint product seals.
• Range monitoring alarm.
• Isolation flange.
• Centralised ‘Tell-Tale’ leakage indicators for all swivel joints.
• Adjustable support jack.
• Electrical heating/tracing.
• Steam or hot oil tracing/jacketing.
• Thermal insulation.
• Access ladders and maintenance platforms.

Kanon's Emergency safety Systems (ERS) are used to ensure best

possible safety in fluid loading/unloading operations with Marine
Loading Arms. The system allows full automatic and safe
disconnection of the loading arm from the ship without product
spillage, when the arm exceeds the operating envelope's limitline.
By means of a simple and unique design, the Kanon ERS provides
intrinsic safety which has been field-proven in many Marine
Loading Arms and applications.
Kanon's ERS systems and specifically the Emergency Release
Coupling are known as 'workhorses' in the fluid transfer industry
providing powerfull performance with 'no' maintenance.
