Save product & pipework
28 March 2016
Dixon Europe’s new Hygienic Breakaway Check Valve has been designed to help prevent tankers being driven away from the loading bay before disconnection of the delivery hose, which can cost thousands in replacement piping and installation costs.

In such an instance the coupling will break in two, separating the tanker from the loading bay. The 13kN break load bolts are the only items that will need replacing.
The Breakaway Check Valve incorporates a breakaway Coupling and a hygienic check Valve. It acts as a single unit that has a diverted breaking point which will break at a determined break-load. Then the check valve will close protecting the loading bay pipe system and avoiding product spillage.
