As a result, Dixon Europe are pleased to
be launching a new product, the Dixon
Hygienic Breakaway Check Valve, which
is proving to be ‘the right connection’,
potentially saving companies thousands.
At a recent trade show, an engineer from
a well-known UK dairy company explained
how a milk tanker had driven away from
the loading bay before disconnecting
the delivery hose costing thousands in
replacement piping and install cost.
Dixon’s Hygienic Breakaway coupling is a
solution to this problem. In such 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 new Dixon Breakaway Check Valve is
an innovative solution that is designed to
eliminate product loss too. It incorporates
the 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.
Designed with hygienic processing in
mind, you can be assured that the
breakaway conforms to FDA standards
and is CIP capable; but, without the
intricate workings and associated cost of
similar products on the market.
Also available from Dixon’s in-house
production capabilities are full hygienic
fabrications and custom made hose
assemblies for the hygienic market.
Our range includes but is not limited to
San hygienic Rubber, Silicone, Metallic,
PTFE lined, and general PVC suction and
delivery hoses. This means that whatever
hygienic special you require and whatever
industry you serve to, Dixon can help.
