TANKWAGEN FITTINGS
What are Tankwagen fittings?
Tankwagen fittings are a quick-connect system designed for the secure joining of hoses and pipes in liquid transfer installations, especially in industrial applications where speed of assembly, watertightness and resistance are required.
This type of fitting is commonly used in the loading and unloading of tanks, reservoirs, tank trucks and industrial lines, allowing hoses to be connected and disconnected easily.
What are Tankwagen fittings used for?
Tankwagen fittings allow for efficient connections in processes involving:
- Transfer of liquids (water, oils, compatible chemical pipelines, fuels and food products)
- Loading and unloading of tankers
- Transport of industrial products
- Process hose connection
- Chemical and food processing facilities
Its design facilitates frequent connection operations without the need for special tools.
How does a Tankwagen fitting work?
The system is normally made up of two parts:
- Male part (plug / pin)
- Female part (coupling)
The two parts fit together and are secured by a mechanical locking system that provides a stable and leak-proof connection. The sealing gasket prevents leaks during fluid flow.
What materials are available?
Tankwagen fittings can be manufactured in different materials depending on the application: brass, aluminum, and stainless steel.
What is the difference between a Tankwagen fitting and a conventional fitting?
The main difference lies in its design for frequent industrial transfer applications .
Tankwagens are designed for repetitive connections, working with industrial hoses, and loading and unloading processes.
Are Tankwagen fittings suitable for chemicals?
Yes, provided that the material of the fitting, gasket, and hose are compatible with the product being transported.
Can Tankwagen fittings be used in food processing?
Yes, there are versions manufactured with materials suitable for food applications.
For these uses it is important to verify the certified material, surface finish, compatible gasket and applicable regulations.
