Traditional quality meeting today's dispensing needs.

Australia is a world leader in automotive LP Gas technology and D.J. Batchen has been the pre-eminent Australian manufacturer of LP Gas dispensers for more than 18 years - having supplied more than half of all dispensers installed in Australia today.

During this period the Batchen Commander series of dispensers has set the standard by which other dispensers are judged. D.J. Batchen has maintained this pre-eminent position because they specialise in the design and manufacture all key hydraulic components of dispensers (many of which are supplied to other major OEM users around the world).

The Commander II continues this tradition and establishes new standards for style, durability and flexibility - its innovative design means that it will maintain its appearance and performance for years to come.

With its clean, modern lines and sophisticated electronic & hydraulic design the Commander II is as modern and reliable as the fuel you sell.

KEY FEATURES

Styling consistent with modern petrol pumps to facilitate matching to existing forecourt hardware.
Modular design approach facilitates customisation to match specific corporate imaging requirements.
Available in both single and dual hose, lane-oriented and non-lane-oriented versions.
Hoses kept clear of dress panels (not non-lane-oriented versions) for uninterrupted visibility of corporate/product signage.
Nozzles recessed inside the line of the dress panels (not non-lane-oriented versions) to minimise the risk of nozzles being knocked out of their boots.
Compact size to optimise site utilisation.
Two or more communication options available in each dispenser (Email, Gilbarco & PEC/Compac).
Use of high durability materials (plated & stainless steel, high tech plastics, powder coating) makes corrosion a thing of the past.
Robust frame contruction to maximise protection of hydraulics.
Advanced hydraulic design provides optimal accuracy, consistent reliability, extended durability and superlative safety:
- LGE Gasguard "Pressure Seal" technology nozzles (1 3/4" Acme connection - others available on request)
Modern electronics incorporating:
- comprehensive diagnostics to assist trouble shooting
Modular design of hydraulics and electronics, with easy access from both sides, to facilitate service.
Maximum commonality of hydraulic and electronic components across models to minimise spares holding requirements.

SPECIFICATIONS

General:

Commander II consists of separate hydraulic and electronic modules, mounted in a substantial steel frame. Ease of access to both modules is assured by removable panels secured by keyed locks.

Hoses are suspended from flexible high hosemasts (optional).

Single, dual and four hose versions are available.

Standards Compliance:

Commander II is approved by all relevant authorities in Australia, including The National Standards Commission and Standards Australia.

Design complies with AS2229.2(Liquefied Petroleum Gas Dispensing Equipment), AS1596, AS3000 and other applicable Australia Standards. Typically these are equivalent to similar European, North American and other international standards.

Specific information can be provided on request.
