• Buxted has revived the idea of carrying animal feeds in tankers rather than open-topped vehicles, with the first example being built by Seadyke Freight Systems.
The 30m3, fourcompartment (2x&, 2 X 3t) tank, has six separate loading hatches and discharge hoppers with integral aeration equipment.
A Holmes 61ORBT blower powers the pneumatic load and discharge system with a self-cleaning filter on the inlet.
The tank is mounted on an ERF E10-32R 8x4 chassis.
Petrol semis
• Conoco has added nine 36,000-litre aluminium petroleum tanker semis to its 243-strong fleet of artics. They are hauled by ERF E10-325 twin-steer tractors.
Built by NEI Thompson Tankers, two of the sixcompartment tankers are fitted with API adaptors.
