Gilbarco Veeder-Root Encore 500 Dispensers Now Offer SMART Flow Technology
Faster fueling means higher throughput and increased customer satisfaction.
Chicago, IL USA - October 12, 2003 - Encore 500 dispensers from
Gilbarco Veeder-Root now offer SMART Flow technology. This technology
improves flow rates at each fueling position by monitoring and reacting
to flow rates in real time. The dispensers use an improved hydraulic
control system that measures and regulates flow all the time at each
nozzle. This benefits the retailer, especially at peak traffic times
when all fueling positions are in use.
In addition to increasing throughput, retailers can lower installation
and service costs by eliminating the need for flow limiters and more
expensive variable speed STPs. With SMART Flow technology, retailers
can achieve flow control at each fueling location with a fixed speed
STP. Because flow is measured in real time for every fueling customer,
it is automatically adjusted only if it exceeds the programmed limit.
"Our Encore 500 with SMART Flow technology offers consistently faster
fueling, increasing site throughput even during the busiest times."
said Martin Gafinowitz, president for North America.
"Our experience at installed sites is that retailers are experiencing
faster and more consistent fuel flow and greater control over site
performance."
SMART Flow technology is standard on new Encore 500 dispensers. Testing
began early this year and today there are well over 1000 units
installed in the field. Encore 500 with SMART Flow will be on display
at the 2003 NACS Show, Booth #4031.
