Abstract:
A system (1) for transfer of a fluid product comprising a transfer pipe for the fluid product having several sections, called first pipe (2), and having an end provided with a coupling system (5) configured for the connection of the first pipe (2) to a target duct, and further comprising a support structure (4) for the first pipe (2), comprising an inner branch (41) which is mounted on a base (42) and an outer branch (43). The first transfer pipe (2) comprises a flexible section of pipe (21) having a proximal end (210) suspended from the support structure (4) and a rigid section of pipe (22) connected to a distal end (211) of the flexible section of pipe (21) and provided at its free end with the coupling system (5), the transfer system comprising suspension means configured for rigidly suspending, at the location of a first end thereof, the rigid section of pipe (22) from the outer branch (43) via articulation means permitting rotation around a vertical axis and at least one horizontal axis.
