In the world of high-pressure hydraulics, 700 bar is not a joke. Depressurizing is always a matter of safety: that’s why every construction site should be equipped with a KST38 depressurizer from Europress.
– For operator safety. Opening a pressurized coupling can cause fluid injection under the skin: a serious, potentially fatal injury. The depressurizer allows for controlled discharge, preventing accidents.
– For system safety. A sudden discharge can damage hoses, seals, and components. The KST38 prevents water hammer and mechanical stress, preserving system reliability and avoiding serious and costly damage.
– To facilitate disconnection. A pressurized coupling may be impossible to disconnect manually, as pressure keeps the components tightly joined. The depressurizer reduces pressure to zero, making disconnection easy and damage-free.
– To protect the environment. Opening a coupling without depressurizing can cause high-velocity oil spray, posing serious risks of pollution and environmental contamination.
