The TODO Collar release Break-Away Coupling is new to the TODO range and offers an alternative to the standard range serving a very different purpose. Like the standard product it has been designed to eliminate spillage and damage associated with drive and/or pull away incidents when loading and unloading hazardous liquids, but the added benefits of safeguarding loading arms.
When used with loading arms the break-away is engineered to disconnect if the arm travels past the customer designated breakage position. The actual collar is linked via break cable to the loading arm so that once the break position is reached, the collar splits, closing the valves off. In addition to reducing any potential environmental impact from a break, the loading arm is safeguarded and potential costly downtime is avoided
