Greensboro, N.C., Sept. 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gilbarco Veeder-Root, a Vontier Corporation (NYSE: VNT.WI) business and the global leader in fueling and convenience store technologies, is extending its industry-leading Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) solution to the Encore 700 S standard flow fuel dispenser for the first time. This addition will make it easier for retailers to meet their customers’ needs by simplifying the process and increasing loyalty among diesel customers.
DEF is a crucial component of diesel vehicles and helps them meet strict environmental standards. It’s critical for convenience store owners to offer DEF reliably and conveniently on the forecourt. However, the traditional methods of selling DEF have been anything but reliable or convenient. With 47 advanced diesel full-sized pickups, SUVs, and vans models now available in the U.S., retailers need more than two or three-gallon jugs of DEF to meet the demand.
“Our DEF solution creates significant cost-saving opportunities and we’re excited to extend those to every fueling position on the forecourt,” said Dan Riccio, Product Marketing Manager, Retail Dispensers. “Whether it’s cost, operations, or the customer experience, the impact of DEF cabinets on the forecourt can’t be ignored.”
The Encore 700 S standard flow will accommodate two DEF cabinets per dispenser, one per fueling position, assuming CRIND is available on both sides. Additionally, the crossover pipe allows retailers to route DEF from one inlet to both cabinets, simplifying the installation process. With DEF conveniently available at all fueling positions, it's never been easier for drivers to buy the products they need, exactly when and where they need them.
While offering DEF at the pump is more convenient, it is also vulnerable to harsh weather conditions. Gilbarco’s DEF cold weather optional features protect the product and equipment down to -22° F (-30° C), well below DEF’s freeze point of 12° F (-11° C). Optional temperature warning sensors send alerts when DEF temperatures drop below a safe level, giving retailers peace of mind that their DEF supply is always ready to be dispensed. The DEF-compatible hydraulics and the highly accurate flow meter allow for consistent, reliable performance in all conditions.
For retailers who cater to diesel customers, offering DEF on the forecourt is a must. By adding DEF and the Ergo™ DEF nozzle to standard flow dispensers, retailers have more flexibility than ever before and now is the time to take advantage.
The Gilbarco Encore Standard Flow DEF Dispenser is the latest addition to the integrated DEF Forecourt Management System, where DEF product from the tank circulates through the line returning product from the line to the tank and regulating line temperature. The DEF Recirculation Software Feature for the Veeder-Root TLS-450PLUS Automatic Tank Gauge monitors product temperature to manage DEF quality in extreme conditions. The Red Jacket® CoreDEF™ Submersible Pump is available in 3/4 HP and 2 HP options to provide a range of light-to-heavy-duty custom pumping solutions. The ISO-Chem Probe Adapter Kit includes a stainless-steel jacket which allows users to remove the probe shaft for easy maintenance without coming in contact with DEF.
