RS stands for the safe control and delivery of liquids and gases.

Applying intelligent technology to pipesandfittings is our mission.

Innovation, personal service and intelligent systematic thinking are the pillars of our company.

The quality standard for all RS brand products is safety and perfection.

Regular and open information is the way we do business.

Our tradition is performance

The RS mark stands for …

•Atechnicalleaderinhosefittings,loading and safety technology

•Competenceinplanning,developing,designing and manufacturing intelligent systems for industry

•Aconstantdrivetomaximisesafetyforstaff, plantandtheenvironmentintheprocessindustry

We make your concerns our own. And take personal responsibility for them.

Why we choose RS

DirkBuschmeier, Sasol foreman: “Itisagoodfeelingto uncouple the hose and to be sure that nothing will happen. Thanks to the simple coupling mechanics of the TR andthebalancersolution,thehose is easy to handle despite itsweightof40kg.“

SasolGermanyGmbH,WerkHerne:

Dipl.-Wirt.-Ing. Torsten Wupper, Production engineer: “The outstanding flow characteristicsofthenewABVL100haveconvertedaloadingbottleneck into an optimised process step. The reduced throughput time increases our loading frequency by a factor of 3 and cuts waiting time.“

SGA Hose loading arm

Advantages• Significantly longer hose life

• Significantlylowermaintenanceandservice requirement

• Significantly lower risk

• Optimalhandling

• The hose’s safe bending radius cannot be exceeded

• Higherenvironmentalsafety

TomovealiquidfromAtoBahoseisusuallythebest

way.Buthowtomovethehoseitself?Onewayispull

the end of the hose in the required direction, and hope

that the wear resistance of the hose on the ground,

torsion forces on the hose and the effort needed to lift

the hose up the ramp can be managed while the hose

remains outside its minimum bending radius. Another

way is to use a hose loading arm.

LessWork,MoreGain.When loading chemicals from a stationary tank to a

mobiletanker,severalsafetyaspectsbecomesignificant.

A hose loading arm like the SGA, especially in combina-

tionwithsafetycouplings,maximisessafetyandease

of handling. When RS dry-disconnect and emergency

release couplings are used the system reaches the highest

possiblesafetystandard–tothebenefitofmaterial,staff

andtheenvironment.

Atthesametime,thetimeandphysicaleffortneeded

are greatly reduced.

As countless coffee stains on tablecloths have

shown, without specialised technology it is not so

easy to transfer a liquid from one container to

another with guaranteed freedom from spillage.

While a coffee stain may be acceptable, spillage of

a hazardous chemical on an industrial scale is not.

The solution: TR dry-disconnect couplings.
