Krampitz safety features

Safety features for tank systems explained in simple video contributions

Vacuum leak detector instead of liquid detector

Vacuum leak monitoring for double-walled storage tanks

When handling water-polluting substances such as diesel, gasoline, or kerosene, plant safety allows no compromises. Vacuum leak monitoring is currently considered the most reliable method for detecting leaks in tank systems early and accurately.

Krampitz Safety Features Part 8: Gas Pendulum System

All Krampitz tanks and tank containers for highly flammable media have a gas pendulum system. Therefore, there are always two associated connections for the filling process in the filling niches for highly flammable media: a connection for fuel filling and a connection for gas return, also known as a gas pendulum connection...
Overfill protection with fuel stop system

Overfill protection with fuel stop system

Overflowing is impossible at Krampitz service stations, because our service stations optionally have the best overfill protection in the industry: a combination of automatic shut-off of the transfer pump and additional shut-off of the fuel supply line by a motor ball valve.
Vacuum leak detector instead of liquid detector

Vacuum leak detector instead of liquid detector

Krampitz tanks and tank containers are constructed with double walls and equipped with the highest quality intrinsically safe leak detection system. This electronic vacuum leak detection system detects leaks in both the inner and outer tanks with 100% accuracy and extremely fast.

Emergency switch

All Krampitz tank containers are equipped with emergency stop switches (dead man's switches). This allows the entire system to be shut down immediately in an emergency. The emergency stop switches are located in central positions: near the fuel pumps and in the filling and electrical compartments.
Anti-siphon valve

Anti-siphon valve

To prevent the tank from leaking, there is an anti-siphon valve. This valve is installed in all Krampitz petrol stations. It is mounted on the tank's suction pipe and shuts off the supply line to the pump if necessary.
Tank container lightning protection

lightning protection

All Krampitz tanks and tank containers for highly flammable media are equipped with lightning rods to protect the tanks from lightning strikes.
EX lamps and EX switches

Switches and lamps, EX

All Krampitz tanks and tank containers for highly flammable media have special explosion-proof lamps and switches. Marked with the Ex symbol. They differ significantly from conventional devices in terms of their processing.
explosion protection

Explosion protection / flame protection grille

Flame arresters – also known as flame spreaders – prevent flames and sparks from penetrating pipes and tanks, thus protecting against explosions. Flame arresters consist of spirally wound corrugated metal strips.
