Smartflow couplings add value in fluid transfer markets for four key reasons:
Health & Safety -- Our couplings have been developed specifically to reduce spillages, creating a safer working environment for engineers and contractors. They have a particular value in industries transferring hazardous waste or harmful fluids.
Cost savings -- Financial benefits come from reducing waste from spillages and leaks, enabling organisations to improve their bottom line.
Efficiency -- As well as minimising fluid loss, our dry break couplings speed up the fluid transfer process which improves efficiency.
Environmental -- fluid leaks and spills can cause an environmental hazard, particularly with hazardous chemicals and oil, and organisations in these industries prioritise their environmental credentials.
Many industrial sites have a problem with spillages when connecting or disconnecting hoses from storage tanks or pipework. Even with additional valves, there is still a small spill between the couplings so the operator must wear protective gloves and clothing. Smartflow solves the core problem, eliminating the spill by incorporating a poppet valve into the coupling itself. This speeds up the connection process (up to 60x faster than valves with flanges), reduces the number of parts required and improves health & safety, environmental security and efficiency by eliminating spills. This is not just in specific cases but has even wider economic and environmental impacts by reducing waste.
