Quick Connect Couplings and Accessories for Temperature Control Applications Product Range 2017
The most extensive range of coupling systems and accessories for temperature control applications Plastics processing companies rely on particularly robust and resistant couplings and fittings. The reason: They are used during cooling and heating of moulding units, during injection moulding or pressure casting and have to withstand extreme temperatures. The high quality TempTec Quick Connect Coupling Systems by of brass and stainless steel guarantee first class quality, complete satisfaction as well as an easy and fast handling. In particular we would like to point out to our TempSecure range, which offers an effective solution for unintentional disconnection under pressure. Advantages: High class material Robust, safe and reliable Completely dense and durable Easy to couple Various sizes and connection types Particularly safe and flexible solutions for temperature control applications Wide range To fulfil the worldwide common plug profiles and to ensure an extended compatibility the European and International plug profiles as well as the original Stäubli RPL-Series. product range contains a large selection of European Plug Profiles International Plug Profiles Original STÄUBLI RPL-Series If there is no coupling system in our product range which meets your requirements, we will be pleased to create an individual solution with you. 2
Valve Designs The Quick Connect Couplings are available in different valve designs. Straight-Through Single Shut-off Double Shut-off Female part (coupling) Male part (plug) Female part (coupling) Male part (plug) Female part (coupling) Male part (plug) No valve neither within the coupling nor within the plug Maximum flow rate During disconnection: a leakage of the medium from the coupling and plug line occurs Non valved plug Coupling with valve During disconnection: a media leakage from the plug line is possible Valves on both sides (male/female) During disconnection: no leakage appears of coupling and plug, constant pressure Materials uses for all of their products only excellent materials which are adjusted for every application area. Brass (brass/brass nickel-plated) Most of the Quick Connect Couplings consist of. It is a very sturdy material which guarantees high durability and can be excellently galvanized (nickel-plating). Stainless Steel Seals For applications where aggressive media are used to cool down or heat up, temperature quick connect coupling systems of stainless steel (1.4305) are required. offers especially for temperature control quick connect couplings standardized highly resistant seals of FKM. These are characterized by being heat-resistant up to 200 C*, optimum glide properties, minimal wear, as well as a high elasticity and a high abrasion resistance which guarantees a significantly higher operation time of the couplings. Depending on the applications, special high-performance seals of FKM (Special-Hitec-FKM-O-ring), EPDM and FFKM are used. Further information can be found in our main catalogue. To offer you the optimum solution (subject to application and media) we recommend a consultation with our competent sales and engineering team. *subject to used media Connecting within seconds The Quick Connect Couplings are characterized by an extra easy handling. Single Shut-off: To connect simply push the plug into the coupling. To disconnect pull back the sleeve of the coupling (automatically disconnected). 3
Temperature Control Quick Connect Coupling System with Automatic Locking Mechanism Safety without compromise The TempSecure temperature control quick connect coupling system features an automatic safety locking mechanism that offers an effective solution for unintentional disconnection. Visual colour coding on the locking sleeve Brass = disconnected Therefore, the coupling is especially suited for the use with aggressive media, such as temperature control applications with hot or cold water as well as tempered oil between -20 C and +200 C*. High quality FKM-O-rings make the coupling an ideal media carrier especially with high temperature. Green = connected Automatic safety locking mechanism Visual colour coding High temperature resistant Easy and intuitive to use by a forced guidance design Controlled manual release Available for European and International plug profiles *subject to used media High-quality materials guarantee best reliability Strengthened release sleeve made of special brass Hose coupling with hose barb contour or barb for ferrule crimping as well as threads with male connection Patent pending automatic safety locking mechanism (dependable security when disconnecting) Special-Hitec-FKM-O-ring Separate O-ring sealing on the connector Forced guidance design with visual colour coding on the locking sleeve 4
The unlocking safeguard Safety for man and machine The moulding product range contains alongside the TempSecure Series, also a simplified unlocking safeguard. Disconnection only possible with an exact engagement of the safety pin into sleeve notch Prevention of fluid or pressure loss in the circulation during operation Prevention of human injury and harm to the environment, machine and tool Available for the Series ESHM, ESHME, ESH, ESHE as well as ESDM and ESD 360 rotatable Connector Completely flexible The hose barb and male thread couplings from the series ESHM and ESH are optionally available with a rotatable connector, with a high-quality ball-and-socket joint with double O-ring sealing*. Swivel joint withstands the pulling and rotary motion when opening and closing the tool in the machine And prevents the fast wearing and abrasion of the O-ring inside the coupling through the permanent turning of the plug Leaks in the temperature control circuit are prevented Reduces the danger of bending hoses on their way to the tool *For all series available on request Flow chart The flow rates of our coupling systems are summarized in the following chart. 10,0 European plug profiles ESHMC Straight-Through Kv=0.21 ESHMC Single Kv=0.15 ESHMC Double Kv=0.14 ESHM ESHME ESHMT Straight-Through Kv=1.32 ESHM ESHME ESHMT Single Kv=0.72 ESHM ESHME ESHMT Double Kv=0.62 Pressure drop Δp (bar) 1,0 ESH ESHE ESHT Straight-Through Kv=4.6 ESHG Straight-Through Kv=13.5 ESH ESHM ESHT Single Kv=1.8 ESHG Single Kv=3.35 ESH ESHE ESHT Double Kv=1.28 ESHG Double Kv=2.37 International plug profiles ESDM ESDMF ESDMT Straight-Through Kv=1.54 ESDM ESDMF ESDMT Single Kv=0.81 ESDM ESDMF ESDMT Double Kv=0.66 0,1 1 10 100 1000 Flow rate (l/min) ESD ESDF ESDT Straight-Through Kv=4.3 ESD ESDF ESDT Single Kv=1.69 ESD ESDF ESDT Double Kv=0.83 5

Moulding accessories Manifolds for Temperature Control Lines The manifolds enable a clearly arranged composition of temperature control lines, which increases the working and production safety. A central flow and outflow to temperature control tool saves energy and hose lines. Manifolds of aluminum Manifolds of stainless steel SoftFlow Material Conveying Quick Connect Couplings The SoftFlow material conveying quick connect couplings are a high quality quick connect coupling system for pressure or vacuum conveying of bulk material or liquids (i.e. for vacuum-conveying of granulate materials in the plastics industry). Due to the quick connect coupling principle with ball bearing locking and light weight, the SoftFlow products are easy to handle. The coupling body is made of stainless steel, which leads to less abrasion. Screwings and Components Connection tubes Hose nozzles Connecting nipples offers an extensive range of connecting fittings made of brass. Hose Clamps, Hose Clips, Ferrules For hose assembly of fittings, different assembly methods from strong clamps to light clips or ferrules can be used subject to application, medium, pressure or hose material. Selection criteria are: safety of the assembly, solvability quickness, necessary devices, as well as cleanliness, or injury risk free.
