TODO-MATIC® / COUPLINGS
FOR SAFE FLUID HANDLING
We are proud to present the TODO-MATIC® range of Dry-Break®couplings. More than 30 years of expertise has gone into their design and manufacture.
In sizes from 1″ to 6″ and a wide range of material options,TODO-MATIC® Dry-Break® couplings offer advanced fluid handling solutions for a diverse range of industries. Major offshore exploration, chemical, pharmaceutical and petrochemical companies rely on TODO-MATIC® couplings to safely transfer their most aggressive or valuable products.
Designed for safe and easy use with minimum operator intervention. TODO-MATIC® couplings offer an unbeatable combination of technical, safety and performance features
How it works
Turning the hose unit 15° clockwise locks the units together. The valves are still closed and are not opened until a further rotation of 90° has been performed and then the product flow is guaranteed. To close the valve and to unlock the units, reverse the procedure
- Valves open and close automatically on connection and disconnection.
- Simple single action operation, no levers or switches to operate.
- Valves are guaranteed closed prior to disconnection.
- Minimal residual loss on disconnection (e.g. maximum 0.35cc for 2″ DN50).
- Will connect and disconnect under pressure and fl ow where necessary.
- Extremely reliable, very few moving parts.
- Robust construction, no external operational components.
- Available with selectivity system to prevent cross contamination.
- Reduces spillages to virtually zero
- Dramatically improves both operational and fugitive emission performance
- Reduces the possibility of human error in transfer operations
- Improves efficiency

FLOW CAPACITY
TODO-MATIC® DRY-BREAK couplings offer high fl ow capacity
Media: water. Temperature: 20°C.
Certificates / Approvals
- TODO-MATIC® couplings carry the highest level of certification and approvals available. VdTÜV under test approval mark TÜ.AGG.162-93 towards ADR, RID, IMDG and TA-Luft classifications.
- European directives 97/23/EC (PED) and 94/9/EC (ATEX) compliant. Manufactured under EN ISO 9001:2000.
1″ TODO-MATIC® (DN19 – DN32, Ø56 mm)
TODO-MATIC® DRY-BREAK® couplings in 1″ size are designed for smaller bore applications where compact dimensions are required. One handed operation, high flow rate and minimal release on disconnection make TODO-MATIC® perfect for transferring high value or sensitive medias with confi dence. The addition of selectivity to prevent product cross contamination expands the operational possibilities in manifold exchange applications
2″ TODO-MATIC® (DN40 – DN50, Ø70 mm)
Our 2″ coupling size probably covers the most diverse selection of applications in the TODO-MATIC family. Available in a range of material and connection configurations, TODO-MATIC 2″ is designed for rapid and safe transfers. Offshore chemical dosing, Pharmaceutical feedstock and aggressive chemical vapour transfer are just some of the challenging applications TODO-MATIC couplings see on a daily basis.
2½” TODO-MATIC® (DN65 – DN80, Ø105 mm)
The 2½” TODO-MATIC® coupling is generally used in road tanker and aviation applications transferring a variety of liquids and vapours. Just like all TODO-MATIC® couplings, the 2½” is available in a full range of materials to offer compatibility with most applications. A strong integral swivel, ergonomic design and rugged construction ensure TODO-MATIC® couplings are equipped for the real world.
3″ TODO-MATIC® (DN80, Ø119 mm)
A true 3″ coupling, similar in size to the 2½” but with greater fl ow. Typically used for road and rail tank loading / discharge, in plant chemical transfers etc. Tough construction, ease of handling, no spillage and high fl ow made this coupling form the natural choice for N.A.T.O refuelling standardisation.
4″ TODO-MATIC® (DN100, Ø164 mm)
Without exception, the most compact, light weight, high flow 4″ self sealing coupling system available. Used extensively for offshore ship to rig transfers of fuels and drinking water, aviation fuel bunkering, rail tank loading / discharge, chemicals etc. Rapid, positive connection and disconnection make TODO-MATIC® the standard for barge to ferry re-fuelling and multiple rail tank discharge.
6″ TODO-MATIC® (DN150, Ø238 mm)
The same features and method of operation as the rest of the range make 6″ TODO-MATIC® the ideal ship / barge to shore connection. Much faster and safer than any fl ange coupling means not only environmental standards compliance but real turn around time savings. Full marine construction with rotating lifting loop as standard. As with all TODO-MATIC® couplings, the 6″ is equally suitable for fl exible hose or loading arm applications.
Hose unit with flange
All sizes of the hose unit are also available with flange.
