Tank Overfill Protection
Banlaw FillSafetm
Setting The Bar High For Zero Tank-Pressure Overfill Protection
Banlaw’s FillSafe solutions are for all fluid types and flow rates, from just a few gallons per minute to thousands. Get the latest electronic or hydraulically actuated flow control valves / fuel shut off valves as part of an integrated tank overfill protection system. Avoid equipment damage and maintenance costs from inaccurate filling whilst increasing site safety and tank filling efficiency.
Banlaw’s Tank Overfill Protection Systems help construction, mining, and rail operations that need to fill storage tanks reliably or refuel diesel-powered machines. FillSafe helps avoid equipment damage and maintenance costs from inaccurate filling while increasing fuelling efficiency and site safety.
Banlaw offers two overfill prevention product families, FillSafe Zero and FillSafe Power, which share the following key benefits:
- Reliable tank overfill protection – no wasted liquid (e.g. fuel, AdBlue, oils) – no underfills – no guessing or checking if the tank is filled to its optimal level.
- Efficient design with superior flow characteristics – no premature shut-off when using ‘auto shut-off’ Dry Break nozzles – plus increased diesel refuelling flow rates.
- No pressure build-up in the tank – avoids tank rupture and fatigue.
- Secondary (backup) overfill protection system – FillSafe Power and FillSafe Zero have a ‘pressurised tank’ backup shut-off system when deployed with Banlaw (or similar) Dry Break refuelling nozzles, receivers and vents.
