Gilbarco® Ecometer™ now available for Encore® S dispensers
GREENSBORO, N.C. – Gilbarco Encore S dispensers are now available with the Ecometer advanced meter solution factory-installed. Gilbarco’s Ecometer has 75% fewer moving parts than a traditional piston meter and offers precision accuracy that saves petroleum retailers thousands of dollars each year. The reduction in moving parts means that Ecometer remains more accurate over time, protecting fuel inventory from losses associated with meter drift and reducing the cost of meter calibrations.
“Gilbarco’s Ecometer advanced meter solution is truly field proven,” said Chad Johnson, Gilbarco’s marketing manager for Encore S. “With over 10 years of proven performance and 80,000 Ecometers installed in Europe, retailers have dispensed over 21 billion gallons of fuel in the field with Ecometers’ precision and accuracy. Performance at more than 500 North American sites and in extensive, multi-year lab testing confirms the benefits translate to the North American environment. The ability to reduce fuel losses has become increasingly important to the industry as fuel costs have increased.”
The Ecometer performance is achieved with axial flow technology to measure fuel as it flows through the meter housing. Two spindles rotate evenly in a housing that minimizes wear and enhances performance through the life of the dispenser.
The innovative design of the Ecometer allows it to be packaged in the side columns of the Encore S dispenser, making it inherently more resistant to intentional fraud. Gilbarco’s Ecometer will be on exhibit at the NACS show, October 4-7 at McCormick Place in Chicago, booth 6148.
