Klaw hygienic breakaway couplings
Klaw hygienic breakaway couplings
Hygienic break-away couplings are the cost-effective way to protect your hoses, pipework and pumps.
Safety Break-away couplings are used where there is a risk of pull away accidents, normally where road tanker loading and unloading is taking place.
They are designed to reduce the risk of damage to terminal and loading/unloading equipment.
Installation of safety breakaway couplings can potentially minimise downtime and protect expensive equipment.
