Hydraulic fluid leaks pose serious safety risks to workers and threaten productive operations with unexpected downtime.  Improving your hydraulic quick connect and quick release process prevents catastrophic accidents and improves productivity.  By selecting the optimum quick coupler for your process, you can prevent serious losses such as 

• Costly repairs – hydraulic fluid leaks cause environmental contamination which requires clean up and could lead to fines as well as require repairs to equipment. Leak free quick couplings prevent damage to equipment and the environment.
• Workplace accidents – hydraulic applications under pressure can cause serious injuries and even fatalities.  Quality quick couplers prevent fluid leaks at connection points to improve workplace safety.
• Damage to brand and reputation – business which experience serious worker accidents or cases of environmental contamination may never recover from the damage to their brand and reputation.
• Financial losses – business can incur significant expense from accidents, contamination, lost productivity and lost business.  Companies in the oil and gas industry, for example, may incur several thousands of dollars in losses due to unscheduled downtime. 

Protect Your Business with Quality Quick Couplers

You can protect your business and prevent significant losses by safeguarding your equipment with quality quick couplings.  Our quick connect specialists have drastically improved processes in many industries with simple recommendations such as installing multi-coupling plates where multiple lines are used.  This allows for maintenance crews to quick connect or quick release multiple lines at once with one simple movement. 

Combined with quality, leak-free quick couplers, multi-plates can safeguard your operation for safe and efficient processes.  Stucchi has helped automotive suppliers to improve their single-minute-exchange of die time (SMED) by as much as 6 minutes.  

Stucchi is dedicated to improving your hydraulic application with process analysis and experienced recommendations for the right quick coupling.  We provide first-to-market, innovative hydraulic quick couplers which outlast and outperform comparable products.  Contact us to learn how to improve your hydraulic application with high quality quick couplings. 

Auxiliary Hydraulics Maximize Demolition Productivity

The demolition industry has evolved significantly from the days of a crane and wrecking ball.  Demolition contractors today utilize a series of excavator attachments to dissect buildings, bridges and structures with efficiency and precision.  Auxiliary hydraulic systems power a wide range of attachments to allow for quick changeover to the most adept tool for the job.

Choosing the right hydraulic excavator attachment is the key to achieving safe and efficient operations, maximizing productivity and profitability.  It is critically important to choose the right attachment for the size and capacity of your excavator.  Interchangeable jaws allow for breaking, crushing, shearing, ripping or pulling structures down. 

Quickly changing attachments with interchangeability is key to achieving maximum productivity and cost saving benefits.  Make sure that your auxiliary hydraulic quick couplers allow for interchangeability with your attachments and equipment.  Hydraulic quick coupler specialists can provide the direction you need to maximize your demolition profitability.

Innovative Quick Couplers Designed for Many Types of Stress

The durability of a quick coupler is one of the most important considerations when choosing the right quick coupling design.  Hydraulic couplers are subjected to a significant amount of mechanical stress in various applications.  Adequately assessing the durability of your quick couplers over time is essential.

The design and engineering of quick couplers relies heavily on research and development into the main causes of wear.  Understanding how to remedy premature wear and tear of quick couplers and meticulously testing results allows for innovative product design. 

Stucchi has been providing custom, first-to-market hydraulic quick coupler products which are suitable for a wide range of applications and types of stress.  By identifying causes of wear, developing improved products and testing results, Stucchi has been established at a global level for providing quick connect solutions which guarantee enduring quality for all applications and stress levels.

Types of Stress

Corrosion

Corrosion is of high concern in many hydraulic applications and may be caused by the type of hydraulic fluid and the external environment.  Materials such as high corrosion resistant stainless steel and QPQ surface treatments help to prevent corrosion of hydraulic adapters.

Contamination

Contamination of the hydraulic circuit occurs when dirt or external agents become mixed with hydraulic fluid which can damage hydraulic components.  This can occur frequently if using poppet style couplers in outdoor environments, which allow for dirt and debris to enter the circuit upon quick connect.  Switching to a flat face design significantly reduces the chances of contamination and also prevents fluid leads upon quick release.

Mechanical Stress

Many applications such as in the oil and gas industry, Earth moving and heavy-duty construction applications place a high amount of mechanical stress on hydraulic couplers. This intense force generated by high operating pressure is amplified by external forces on rugged, rough terrain.  Durable quick couplers designed for sound connection provide the hydraulic solution in extreme conditions. 

Traditional metal ball locking systems can wear quickly in high mechanical stress as the force is intensely transmitted to the surface due to the limited area of contact between the two components.  Operators of heavy mechanical equipment often struggle to maintain hydraulic quick couplers for long lasting performance. 

Switching to a threaded, flat face coupler can provide significantly longer lasting performance, saving time and money in the long run.  When the mechanical force is distributed over the entire thread of a screw to connect coupler, the contact surface preserves the integrity of the connection, preventing damage and lasting much longer than other couplers.

Stucchi leads the industry in providing hydraulic solutions which improve your product and process performance.  We are recognized on a global level for providing innovative, first-to-market quick couplers which outlast and outperform other coupling products.  Contact us to learn how to improve your quick connect process with hydraulic couplers designed for all types of stress.
