Mechanical coupler 0513 series

phase

The Silea Female Semi-automatic Coupler series 05131104 is designed to achieve a quick and dry coupling, without loss of product, between a Bottom Loading Arm or a hose and the Male Coupler on a tank truck. The difference with the manual type is that the Coupler hooks automatically to the male coupler before opening the flow. The coupler respects the API RP 1004 Standards and can be used with all compliant couplers. After the preview presentation during the Oil&nonOil fair in Verona, as announced in the days preceding the event, The time has come to discover all the innovative features of the brand new semi automatic coupler 0513 series from Silea. This coupler has been designed to ensure quick coupling without product leakage, between a loading arm or a flexible hose and the relative male coupler installed on the tanker. What makes this product better than its predecessor? First of all, an important difference is immediately visible to the naked eye: in fact, the coupling teeth have been reduced from five, as in the previous version, to four, but with a considerably wider contact surface, making the coupling phase safer, both in regular conditions and in the face of sudden pressure increases, caused by plant anomalies. After a review of the internal components, it was possible to increase the fluid passage section about 15%, which translates into a reduction of loading times and, consequently, in economic savings for the benefit of the user. In addition, the ergonomics have also been renewed thanks to the new handle.
