Safeload Loading Arm System
Through its strategic partnership with FORT VALE, KALYMNOS FUEL ENGINEERING provides specialised Safeload Arms, a superior class of equipment designed to prevent “pull-away” accidents and protect terminal infrastructure.
Ultimate Protection Against “Pull-Away” Accidents
Safeload Arms are engineered to be the weakest link in the line. They incorporate an integrated safety mechanism (typically a Safety Breakaway Coupling) that, upon a predetermined tensile force, will activate to:
- Instantly shut off product flow on both sides via automatic valve closure.
- Prevent catastrophic detachment of the arm or piping if a vehicle drives off while still connected.
- Protect terminal infrastructure, loading/unloading equipment, and the environment from extensive spillage.
Long-Term Benefits & Key Features
This solution minimizes downtime, protects your investment, and ensures compliance with the strictest safety protocols. Key features include:
- Integrated System: Fully assembled arms with integrated safety valves and couplers.
- Configuration for Every Need: Available in various sizes (e.g., 3″, 4″) and configurations (horizontal, vertical, counterweighted or unweighted).
- Fort Vale Reliability: Constructed from durable materials like stainless steel or aluminum, with high-performance seals (e.g., Viton).
Primary Applications
- Road and rail tanker loading/unloading terminals
- Marine loading jetties
- Industrial facilities handling high-risk flammable liquids
