Gates Staple Lock Fittings Ilok Coupling For Moving Longwall Mining Machinery

Date:Oct 10, 2020

Gates staple lock fittings ilok coupling is for fluid power product line includes hydraulic hoses, couplings, adapters, and crimpers tailored to the demands of continuous and longwall mining equipment. Examples include Coal Power/Longwall Mine Hose for high pressure hydraulic lines in longwall equipment and roof-support systems; iLok couplings that reduce the time, cost, and risk of moving longwall machinery; and the GC  32Tsi “smart” crimper that uses the latest technology to make factory-quality, leak-free assemblies every time. For fluid transfer applications, Gates Mine Master industrial hoses and couplings are specifically designed to tackle tough mining challenges, including longwall emulsion lines, air drills, rock dust spraying, and hot water washdowns

 

Gates iLok coupling is designed to realize dramatic reductions in downtime when moving and re-assembling longwall mining equipment. Compared to a staple-lock coupling, it’s simpler,

safer, and faster.

A Coupling So Simple It’s Revolutionary

Simple to understand and use

Easy to connect and disconnect by hand

Withstands high impulse applications

Uses a secure, visible locking system

Releases residual pressure away from workers during disconnection

Compact, to fit in tight quarters

Smooth, to prevent abrasion against adjoining hoses
