Increase Agricultural Equipment Performance with Flat Face Couplings


Machinery and equipment found in a wide range of industry sectors utilize hydraulic systems with quick couplings. Agricultural equipment such as Earth moving machinery, forestry machinery, vehicles with trailers, skid steer and various other types of equipment rely upon hydraulic quick couplings for safety and performance. Quick couplings provide an important role with versatility to meet a wide range of needs in various operating conditions. 

Flat face quick couplers provide many benefits to agricultural equipment and processes by improving equipment performance, improving operator safety and eliminating environmental contamination. Flat face quick couplings are efficient with quick coupling and uncoupling operations and feature special gaskets, spring mechanisms and safety locks which can completely eliminate fluid loss when disconnecting male and female couplers.

Flat face quick couplers provide many benefits to a wide range of industry sectors which include:
  • Flat face design facilitates cleaning of quick couplings
  • Maintaining optimum hydraulic pressure in machinery and equipment
  • Improving safety by preventing exposure to hydraulic fluids
  • Reduces costs linked to hydraulic fluid loss
  • Eliminates environmental contamination which is even more important in agricultural processes where the land provides valuable resources
  • Promotes quick and efficient operations without the use of special tools and procedures
Flat face quick couplers are becoming more popular in the agricultural sector due to these many benefits and are commonly replacing previously used poppet style hydraulic couplers. Poppet style couplers promote quick coupling and uncoupling of lines, although do not typically provide the same leak free performance of flat face quick couplings. 

Flat face quick couplings are recognized in the farm and agricultural machinery sector as an improvement in technology providing many advantages with hydraulic solutions. There has not been the standardization of international governing regulations as is found in other sectors which is why manufacturers of farm equipment are working to have flat face couplings recognized in the farm equipment sector through specific ISO standards.
