The Torex Cooler by MD Pneumatics is revolutionizing the liquid bulk transport industry with its innovative design and efficiency. With a focus on weight savings, space savings, environmental impact, and cooling capacity, the Torex Cooler offers a number of benefits that set it apart from traditional hydraulic oil cooling packages.
Weight Savings
One of the most significant advantages of the Torex Cooler is its weight savings. A filled Torex Cooler weighs only 104 lbs, compared to roughly 625 lbs for a 50-gallon steel reservoir. This represents a weight reduction of over 80%, which can have a significant impact on fuel efficiency and overall vehicle performance.
Space Savings
In addition to weight savings, the Torex Cooler also offers space savings. The Torex Cooler takes up roughly half the space of a comparable 50-gallon reservoir, with dimensions of 5,600in3 compared to 11,550in3. This can be crucial for vehicles with limited space for hydraulic oil cooling systems, allowing for greater flexibility in design and installation.
Environmental Impact
The Torex Cooler also helps to reduce environmental impact in the event of an oil spill. With only 4 gallons of oil held in the reservoir, the Torex Cooler minimizes the potential for environmental damage in the event of a leak or spill. This can provide peace of mind for bulk haulers operating in sensitive environments or transporting hazardous materials.
Cooling Capacity
Despite its compact size and weight, the Torex Cooler offers impressive cooling capacity. The Torex Cooler is capable of removing heat 6 times faster than a comparable steel reservoir, ensuring efficient operation and optimal performance in a wide range of applications. This can be particularly important for high-demand operations such as crude oil transport, LP gas delivery, or chemical transport.
Applications
The Torex Cooler is suitable for a wide range of applications in the liquid bulk transport industry. From crude oil transport to food transport to bulk feed and lube trucks, the Torex Cooler is versatile enough to meet the needs of a variety of industries and applications. Its high efficiency and durability make it an ideal choice for demanding environments and intensive operations.
Connections
The Torex Cooler features high-pressure connections of 12 JICM (¾˝) and low-pressure return connections of 16 JICM (1˝), as well as a 2˝ NPTF connection. This versatile design enables easy integration with existing hydraulic systems and ensures compatibility with a wide range of equipment and vehicles. The Torex Cooler is designed to be easy to install and use, with intuitive connection points that enable seamless operation and maintenance.
Features
The Torex Cooler is packed with features that enhance its performance and durability. These include a 10-micron breather filler cap, a stainless steel frame, a glass-reinforced polypropylene cooling fan, a precision-machined aluminum hydraulic control block, high-torque stainless steel slotless worm clamps, a high-performance heat exchanger, and a 10-micron oil filter. These features are designed to ensure optimal cooling performance, reduce maintenance requirements, and enhance overall reliability and longevity.
Summary
The Torex Cooler by MD Pneumatics is a game-changer in the liquid bulk transport industry.

In the demanding world of bulk material transportation, where abrasion poses a constant threat to equipment longevity, having reliable and durable products is essential. SandHog, an American-based manufacturer, has carved a niche for itself by offering abrasion resistant solutions that stand out in the market. In this blog, we will delve into some of SandHog’s flagship products that not only combat abrasion but also proudly boast the “Made in the USA” tag.
BTI’s SandHog Hopper Tee: The Toughest Tee on the Market
The SandHog Hopper Tee is a game-changer when it comes to handling highly abrasive materials. Unlike conventional abrasion-resistant tees, this innovative product is specially designed to endure extreme wear conditions, projecting a lifespan twice as long as its counterparts. Frac sand and other abrasive materials have historically wreaked havoc on tank trailer hopper tees, wearing through downstream radii like a hot knife through butter. The SandHog Hopper Tee, however, takes a different approach.
Patented Design and Duralron™ Alloy
The tee incorporates patented design features, including a ledge that catches abrasive materials during discharge. This ingenious design utilizes the material itself to protect the downstream radius of the tee, resulting in unmatched abrasion resistance. What sets it apart is the integration of BTI’s Duralron™, a special iron alloy that provides up to twice the wear resistance of traditional tees. The material now wears against itself, ensuring a longer lifespan for the tee.
Available in both bottom drop and straight versions, the SandHog Hopper Tee offers flexibility to cater to various operational needs.
SandHog Super Elbow: Guaranteeing Satisfaction and American-Made Quality
Another standout product from SandHog is the SandHog Super Elbow. This elbow boasts a “100% satisfaction or return it” guarantee, emphasizing the manufacturer’s confidence in its durability. Crafted entirely in the USA, this elbow is constructed with BTI’s Duralron™, offering unparalleled wear resistance compared to conventional elbows.
Innovative Design and Material
SandHog Super Elbow incorporates a unique spherical pocket design, trapping a small amount of product during discharge. This clever design ensures that the discharged product wears against itself instead of the fitting wall. Critical wear points, especially at bends, are insulated using the very product being discharged, enhancing the longevity of the elbow.
For those seeking even greater wear resistance, SandHog offers the BlackMaxx version of the elbow. This variant introduces a new material that provides an additional 37% wear resistance over the original elbow. Moreover, the SandHog BlackMaxx Elbow features a cathodic epoxy coating, offering ultimate corrosion and chemical protection. The coating excels in providing resistance against salt spray, humidity, and cyclic corrosion.
Configurations and Flexibility
The SandHog Super Elbow comes in two industry-standard cam and groove configurations: female to male and male to female. The standard 45° elbow can also be combined to create a 90° option, providing adaptability to various discharge scenarios.
Summary
In a sector where durability and resistance to abrasion are paramount, SandHog’s range of abrasion-resistant products shines through. The BTI SandHog Hopper Tee and the SandHog Super Elbow, both crafted with BTI’s Duralron™, showcase the manufacturer’s commitment to providing top-tier solutions for the pneumatic tank trailer industry. With a focus on American-made quality and innovative design, SandHog continues to set a high standard for abrasion-resistant products in the market, ensuring that customers can rely on their equipment for longer, more efficient operations.
