What is a Breakaway?
This is a safety coupling that is normally installed between the hose or loading arm and a mobile loading point (tanker, ship, train, etc.). It is made up of two symmetrical parts joined together by three weakened bolts. when the pieces are joined they allow the circulation of fluids through them. When they separate, they automatically close the flow by means of internal valves.
How does it work?
In the event of accidental stretching or excessive pressure, the screws break before the hose or loading arm, in such a way that each part of the breakAway is attached to each end, preventing any product spillage: closing the end of the tank on one side and that of the hose or loading arm on the other.
Application:
In most sectors, from the chemical industry to the food industry, including the pharmaceutical industry, the oil industry, etc., in short, in any handling of highly flammable, corrosive, toxic or high-risk products.
