Minimising Spillage During Connection/Disconnection

(prHWY.com) August 6, 2011 - Solihull, NY -- August 6, 2011 - In an age of environmental considerations the use of Dry Break Coupling

Systems is a must for all companies using and transferring hazardous or expensive materials
Recent high profile environmental incidents involving spillage of hazardous materials has highlighted the

need for reliable couplings. Many companies are still using basic non-valved quick release coupling systems where the risk of spills on inadvertent coupling

disconnection are high. Using a Dry Disconnect Coupling system can minimise, or in the case

of Dry Link Drybreak Coupling, eliminate this risk entirely. Many companies have to resort to

using spill kits to contain the results of a spillage problem. Why have this problem in the first place, putting the employees, clients and the environment at risk?

Whilst dry disconnect coupling systems require a higher initial outlay, in the long term, maintained correctly they repay their cost, give the user added peace of mind

and remove the cost of expensive cleanup operations.

Maintenance

Too often these couplings are fitted by the client, which expects them to operate without any maintenance
or regular inspection. This is clearly not the case. They have moving parts which must be inspected and maintained correctly. In the case of Dry Link, each coupling

carries an individual identification number which enables them to be tracked to help in the maintenance programmes users should have in place.

Ensuring safety

Dry disconnect systems can greatly enhance the working conditions of employees and reduce the risk of product loss and consequent environmental impact. Having a

maintenance programme in place will secure the investment and increase the life cycle of the fitting.
