Dry break coupling - safe and efficient fluid and gas transfer

A dry break coupling is a specially designed quick disconnect coupling that allows hoses and pipes to be (dis)connected without leakage. These couplings feature flat valves, also known as “flat-face,” which guarantee a leak-free connection during connection and disconnection. Dry break couplings are widely used in industries where safety and hygiene are crucial, such as the chemical, petrochemical and food industries.

Applications of the dry break coupling

Dry break couplings are ideally suited for situations where preventing spills and exposure to hazardous substances is essential. In the chemical industry, they are used to safely transport aggressive chemicals, where the system prevents employees from coming into contact with harmful substances. In the petrochemical industry, these couplings serve for leak-free transfer of fuels and oils, contributing to increased safety and environmental protection. In addition, they are used in the food industry to ensure hygienic transfer of liquids such as juices, dairy products and oils, preventing contamination.

Coupling advantages

One of the main benefits of dry break couplings is minimizing product loss and preventing environmental damage from leaks. The flat valve design ensures that no liquid or gas escapes during (dis)coupling, which not only increases safety but also saves costs by preserving valuable products. In addition, these couplings contribute to a cleaner and safer working environment by minimizing the risk of exposure to hazardous or harmful substances. Ease of use and quick (de)assembly without special tools make the process efficient and reduce downtime in operational processes.
