Projects can be saved and stored. TACO was also displaying the Viridian VT2218 circulator, which is a temperature sensing, self-adjusting, variable-speed wet rotor circulator with an ECM permanent magnet motor. Operating modes include Delta-T differential temperature, 4 fixed speeds, set point heat, set point cool and boiler protection. Delta-T operation maximizes sys- tem efficiency and comfort, and a high-efficiency ECM motor uses up to 85% less electricity. LECTRO-TRUCK had their popular hand trucks on display, noting their 40 years in the industry. The most popular item at the show, according to com- pany president Kevin Peters was the LTA6512E, designed for commercial deliveries. The high-torque 1 1/2 horse- power motor, extension handle, tripod and on-board charging system wheels keep everything in one unit without the need for additional peripherals. The new flagship model builds on the versatile cart platform that LECTRO-TRUCK has manufactured in Wisconsin for decades. SUNTEC Industries has long been invested in B20 fuel, and displayed their new line of B20 equivalent pumps that launched in January 2015. The new pumps are compatible with biodiesel as defined in ASTM D6751. Standard pumps only cover #1 and #2 fuel which limits their classification to 5% biodiesel content. The new pumps allow for fuel up to 20% biofuel. www.fueloilnews.com | FUEL OIL NEWS | March 2015 41 BUSINESS OPERATIONS
