Quality Quick Couplings Reduce Business Risks


Hydraulic quick couplers are an integral component in many industrial operations, providing fluid control and preventing hydraulic fluid leaks.  Companies which use hydraulic systems recognize the importance of high quality quick couplers and adapters which can be the difference between successful business operations and lost productivity, downtime and worse, catastrophic accidents. 

You can reduce the risk of accidents, environmental contamination and even fatal injuries with high quality hydraulic quick couplers.  Hydraulic quick coupler failure can lead to significant losses which include:

       Workplace accidents – pressurized hydraulic fluid can reach over 700 bar which may cause serious or fatal injuries to workers when ejected with such force.
       Financial losses – equipment downtime equates to several tens of thousands of dollars in losses for many industries such as oil and gas extraction.  Maintaining equipment with quality hydraulic quick couplers reduces equipment downtime and failure to meet productivity requirements.
       Cost of repairs – fluid leaks can lead to required repairs to equipment as well as to the building and environment where hydraulic leaks occurred.  Quality quick couplings prevent leaks and further damage to equipment and property, preventing costly repairs.
       Jeopardizing your reputation– just one catastrophic accident can undo a lifetime of work in developing a highly regarded reputation.  Quality quick couplers protect your reputation and credibility.
       Environmental contamination – hydraulic fluid spills wreak havoc on the environment including ground and ground water supplies.  Contamination may cause irreparable damage to environments, especially in farming and agriculture where the land is your valuable resource.  Prevent contamination, protect your resources and reduce the risk of fines with reliable quick couplings.

Hydraulic Fluid Control in High Pressure Applications


Machinery and equipment used in many industries such as Oil and Gas, Earth moving and various industrial operations utilize hydraulic systems which require careful maintenance.  Maintaining your hydraulic system for optimum performance, efficiency and safety requires reliable and durable quick couplings.  Hydraulic quick couplers can make the difference between a smooth running operation or disruptions to productivity and safety.  

Hydraulic fluid leaks can also present significant danger to employees as well as to the environment.  High pressure applications present added danger and demand quick couplers designed for pressurized processes.  Specialty quick couplers and adapters designed specifically to maintain fluid control with leak-free performance in high pressure processes are mandatory in these applications. 

Stucchi Offers Threaded and High Pressure Quick Couplings

Stucchi is a leading global supplier of quick coupler solutions including threaded flat face quick couplers designed to maintain fluid control with leak-free performance.  We offer a vast product line including threaded and high pressure quick couplers as well as multi-coupling plates for coupling multiple lines at once, even in pressurized processes. 

Our design and fabrication of the flat face coupler set the industry standard for ISO 16028, with leak free hydraulic connections for a wide range of industries.  Our threaded quick couplers are engineered to prevent premature wear and tear and eliminate the brinelling effect.  Threaded quick couplers proven to improve operations in many case studies include:

       VP  - threaded coupler with an auto locking design
       VEP – ideal in applications where pressure exists or is trapped in a line
       VEPHD –a heavy duty model with a larger mating area and upgraded material
       VEPHDL - includes a failsafe locking mechanism with interchangeability between the VEP in the VEPHD.
Stucchi offers these threaded quick coupler solutions as well as custom designed hydraulic couplers to meet specific requirements.
Stucchi is recognized as an authority on hydraulic quick couplers and custom hydraulic solutions.  We provide hydraulic solutions to a wide range of applications worldwide with reliable and leak-free quick connect applications.

Improve Hydraulic Quick Connect of Drills & Excavators


Drills, excavators and Earth moving machinery and equipment demand safe and efficient hydraulic quick connect processes.  These applications typically require the coupling and uncoupling of multiple hydraulic lines, requiring time consuming quick connect processes to maintain safety.  Quick coupler solutions for multiple lines must maintain safety while striving to improve efficiency at the same time. 

This is where multi-coupling plates provide a significant advantage to industries where quick change of auxiliary equipment and attachments is required. 

Benefits of Multicoupling Plates

Multicoupling plates provide a safe and efficient solution to many industrial processes where multiple lines are used.  The ability to quick connect and disconnect multiple lines at once drastically improves efficient operations while maintaining safety for workers. Advantages of multi-coupler hydraulic plates include:
       Quickly and easily connect or disconnect multiple lines with one simple movement
       Multi-coupling plates with auto locking systems prevent unintended disconnection
       Quickly connect male to female couplers even in processes with high resistance
Incorporating multi-coupling plates provides hydraulic solutions to many industry leaders who experience improvements in safety and efficiency, equating to improvements in overall business operations and profitability. 

Stucchi Offers Multicoupling Solutions

Stucchi is a leading manufacturer and supplier of hydraulic quick couplers and adapters, accessories and custom designed hydraulic solutions.  We offer quick coupler solutions for many industrial operations which improve safety and efficiency.  Our multi-coupling plates are proven in several case studies to significantly improve business operations, reduce equipment downtime, failures, and contamination. 

Multicoupling solutions by Stucchi include threaded sleeves as well as easy to operate levers to couple or uncouple multiple lines under pressure with minimal physical effort and better load distribution.  We offer large diameter solutions as well as plates accommodating two, four or as many as eighteen lines at once.  Compact multicoupler plates are also available.
