How Reynolds Training Services Ltd uses CEJN Smartflow dry break couplings to teach safety in high-hazard industries

Protecting people and the environment in high-hazard industries is at the heart of Reynolds Training Services Ltd, a UK-based provider of specialist training and competence assessments tailored to high-risk sectors. Within their purpose-built training facilities, CEJN Smartflow dry break couplings play an important role in demonstrating safe and spill-free fluid handling.

John Reynolds, founder and managing director of Reynolds Training Services, has been in the industry for over 40 years. He established the company in 2009 to meet a growing need for specialist training in bulk liquid warehousing and processing.

“We set up Reynolds Training to deliver training and competence assessment because there wasn’t any company out there working as directly in this sector for training and development,” says Reynolds.

Safety at the core of competency training

For Reynolds, ongoing training and assessment are key pillars of operational safety. “The importance of training and assessment cannot be understated within this industry. Key is that we demonstrate that competence, and that we maintain that demonstration of competence across the whole sector,” he emphasises.

Minimising spillage in bulk liquid operations

One major safety concern in bulk liquid operations is the common action of connecting and disconnecting hoses and pipelines. If done incorrectly, it can expose workers to hazardous substances and cause environmental damage.

At Reynolds Training’s facilities, a network of tanks and cross-linked pipework provides realistic, hands-on training scenarios. This is where CEJN Smartflow dry break couplings make a difference.

“The ease of the Smartflow dry break coupling enables us to make a connection and disconnection without losing any fluid,” says Reynolds. “That helps us maintain safety — not only for individuals, but also for the environment. You’ll have no loss of product in that disconnection and connection process”, he continues.

Long-term partnership built on reliability

For Reynolds Training, selecting equipment isn’t only about performance — it’s also about partnership, reliability, and support.

“We’re a local business and have had a good collaboration for a number of years. The Smartflow couplings have always delivered good service and durability throughout their use,” Reynolds concludes.

Four reasons why Reynolds Training chooses CEJN Smartflow dry break couplings:

1. Ease of use: Fast and simple connections
2. Reliable sealing: Prevents leaks and contamination
3. Durability: Designed to withstand heavy, repetitive use
4. Local support: Easy access to supply and service
