Air Quick Coupler is fittings designed for changing out lines quickly and easily. They are made to be connected and disconnected without the use of tools, or losing product. This eliminates the need to close valves, purge for trapped gases or bleed the system. Since they can be changed out without losing anything from the line, recharging becomes unnecessary.
These types of couplers are all about savings. Since they can reduce or eliminate fluid spills, this saves on product loss. The speed and ease of changing lines using a quick coupler saves on labor time and can also save on production uptime, connecting your machines to their fluid lines quickly.
Any time a line has to be disconnected and reconnected more than once a week, a quick coupler could be used. If you’re not sure if a quick coupler could work in your facility, here are some examples where they are being used today.
Many manufacturing operations require air, lubrication and control lines that run to different locations on the production line. They may be connecting to specific tools or heavy machinery. Changeover needs to be quick to keep the entire operation running. A down line in one area could mean a stop for the entire operation until the line is up again.
