Tote and Pump Cabinets

Tote and Pump Cabinets

For Efficient Delivery to Service Track Equipment

Pump Cabinets

 

Snyder pump cabinets are heated cabinets designed to pump service fluids to boom cabinets while maintaining the proper pumping temperature and fluid viscosity. They are typically used in lubrication oil systems but can be used for most service fluids.

 

Pump cabinets may also be combined with intermediate heat and storage cabinets to prevent pumping problems from distant bulk tanks.

 

Tote Cabinets

 

Snyder tote cabinets are combined reservoir and pumping systems, often used in situations where a large reservoir is uneconomical or impractical. Typical uses include compressor oil, journal oil, lubrication oil, toilet chemicals, fuel additives, water treatment, and cleaning chemicals.

 

Tote cabinets are portable and simple to install, allowing flexibility in service track layout. All tote cabinets feature 110% containment sumps to prevent external spills.


Customized Tote Cabinets

Tote cabinets can be customized with internal hose reels with access doors or attached booms to make a portable and fully self-contained fluid storage, pumping, and delivery system.

FAQS

Got questions? We’ve got answers.

  • What are the dimensions of standard pump and tote cabinets?

    Links coming soon. 

  • How do I specify custom cabinets for my application?

    Snyder Equipment can assist with the design of customized pump and tote cabinet installations. Things to consider include the available footprint, type of chemical to be pumped/stored, desired distance from bulk tanks and/or final delivery systems, typical ambient temperatures, external control requirements, and any special access requirements. Contact Snyder for assistance with custom cabinets and overall fluid delivery system design.

  • How many gallons can a tote system store?

    Tote cabinets generally are capable of handling standard 330 gallon totes, although some older models are limited to 240 gallons. See the drawing links above for standard dimensions.

  • Why does my pump/tote cabinet have little or no flow?

    Causes may vary by cabinet, but here are standard items to check. 


    • Verify that all inlet and outlet valves are open all the way through to the dispensing station.

    • Verify that no breakers are tripped and power is available to the pump, and that the pump is turned on.  

    • Verify that the strainer is not clogged and that there are no obstructions in the line.

    • Verify that the cabinet is at the proper temperature to keep the pumped chemicals from cooling and becoming viscous. For pump systems with not storage, verify that the incoming fluid is at suitable pumping temperature.

    • For tote cabinets, verify that the tote has sufficient fluid and that the drain valve at the base of the tote is open.

    • Purge any air out of the system using the start-up procedure for your model.

    • Verify that any timers, flow switches, or external interlocks are properly operating per the schematic supplied with your cabinet.


    Refer to the manual that came with your system for specific troubleshooting instructions.


  • What maintenance is required?

    Maintenance instructions vary by model.  Generally, Snyder recommends visual inspection weekly, pump lubrication every 3 months, gearbox oil maintenance every 6 months, and annual gauge recalibration. Motors on certain models may also require greasing. Follow the manual for your individual model to determine the proper maintenace routine and the style of grease to use.

  • What is the preferred operating pressure?

    The required pressure depends on the fluid to be dispensed, the nozzle that is used, and your GPM requirements, and may vary based on field conditions. Pump and tote cabinets generally operate at 40 psi under typical installation conditions. Consult the manual that came with your system for any limitations on pressure.

  • How do I change totes?

    Instructions may vary by model, but the general procedure follows:


    o Turn on the ON/OFF selector switch to the OFF position. The POWER ON indicator lamp will extinguish.

    o Close the tote valve and supply hose valve. 

    o Disconnect the tote supply hose and remove the empty tote.

    o Place a new tote in the cabinet.

    o Connect the tote supply hose to the tote using the supply hose connector.

    o Open the tote valve and the tote supply hose valve.

    o If the previous tote contained enough fluid to keep air from getting into the system, turn the ON/OFF selector switch to the ON position. The POWER ON indicator lamp will illuminate and you can resume operation.

    o If the previous tote was completely empty, air will have been distributed into the system and the system will need to be purged. Follow procedures in the startup section of the manual to purge the system.

    o When the system is completely purged of air, turn the ON/OFF selector switch to the ON position. The POWER ON indicator lamp will illuminate and operation can resume.

    Refer to the manual for your model for specific instructions. Be sure to protect the Kamlock fitting when removing or installing totes.
