In chemical handling, every drop matters. A small spill can mean wasted product, environmental fines, safety hazards, and costly downtime. For operators working with industrial chemicals, preventing spillage is essential.
That’s where Banjo’s dry disconnect couplings come in. Unlike traditional cam lever couplings, which can allow drips or accidental spills when lines are disconnected, dry disconnects are engineered to minimize spills, reduce waste, and keep operations compliant.
What Are Dry Disconnects?
A dry disconnect is a connection system designed to prevent spills when transferring liquids. Instead of relying on a single fitting, dry disconnects are made up of two components—a male and a female—that lock together to form a secure, leak-resistant seal. Dry disconnects bring the closing point on each line as close together as possible in order to minimize any fluid loss between those points.
This design sets dry disconnects apart from traditional cam lever couplings, which can drip or release liquid when hoses or tanks are disconnected. In chemical handling, where precision and safety are critical, dry disconnects provide operators with a more reliable, spill-prevention-first solution.
Banjo offers three dry disconnect product lines—Dry-Mate®, Dry Fit, and Dry Poppet—each engineered for different application needs but all built around the same goal: keeping product where it belongs and minimizing waste.
Banjo’s Dry-Mate® Dry Disconnects
Traditional couplings often leave behind drips, spills, or residue during disconnects—an issue that becomes costly and hazardous when chemicals are involved. Banjo’s Dry-Mate® Dry-Disconnects are designed to eliminate that risk by keeping both sides sealed until a secure connection is made. Here are some features:
- 99% Spillage Reduction – Independent testing shows Dry-Mate® reduces fluid loss by up to 99% compared to standard couplings.
- Secure, Lock-Together Design – Male and female halves engage and lock before product can flow, ensuring a tight, reliable seal
By pairing proven leak-prevention with user-friendly operation, Banjo’s Dry-Mate® Dry Disconnects deliver efficiency, safety, and peace of mind in every transfer.
Banjo Dry-Fit Quick-Connect Valves
For applications where speed and simplicity matter most, Banjo’s Dry-Fit valves deliver reliable, spill-resistant performance in a streamlined design. Compared to the Dry-Mate®, which prioritizes maximum spill containment, Dry Fit valves balance spill reduction with a faster quick-connect setup.
- Quick-Connect Design – Secure, leak-free connections in seconds without extra fittings or tools.
- High-Flow Performance – Full-port construction allows unrestricted flow and higher pressure rating.
- Durable Build – Glass-reinforced polypropylene stands up to tough chemical handling environments.
Dry Fit valves are ideal for industrial transfer systems that need efficiency and durability with minimal spillage.
Banjo Dry Poppet Couplings
Banjo’s Dry Poppet Couplings offer a lightweight, durable solution for everyday chemical transfer needs. Precision-molded from fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene, they’re easy to handle while still tough enough for demanding environments.
- Minimal Fluid Spillage – Designed to reduce exposure and product loss during disconnects.
- Chemical Compatibility – Built to perform with a wide range of chemicals, adding versatility across applications.
- Efficient Operation – Simple, economical design rated up to 150°F and capable of flow rates up to 30 GPM.
For operators seeking a dependable, cost-effective option that still prioritizes safety, Dry Poppet couplings are a practical choice.
