Switch&Lock 360 plug connector

The Switch&Lock 360 hose coupling. Designed for maximum user-friendliness and process reliability, this system revolutionizes the way hose connections are handled in the plastics industry. Simple, safe, efficient – ​​and in any position. The key feature of the Switch&Lock 360 coupling lies in its exceptionally easy handling: The male and female parts are connected almost effortlessly – without any need for precise alignment. The locking process is audibly confirmed and visually verified by a color-coded locking bolt – ideal even for hard-to-reach or difficult-to-see areas. A simple pull on the bolt is all it takes to release the connection. Mechanically sophisticated for maximum process reliability. The design with two guide tubes and radial insertion aids ensures easy and precise coupling, even with hose torsion. The coupling locks securely into place – unintentional disconnection, even under vibration, is virtually impossible. Coupling is possible in any 360° position. The hose connection is released safely, ergonomically, and with minimal strain on the joints via a specially shaped spring-loaded bolt – either with one or two hands. Even when coupled, the coupling can still be rotated or aligned. Intelligent coding – mechanical, color, and electronic – allows for the reliable differentiation of various piping systems. So-called coding rings can be retrofitted – distinguishable both mechanically and by color. With up to 24 possible coding patterns, even complex systems can be clearly and reliably differentiated. Alternatively or additionally, the coupling is also RFID-compatible and can be integrated into digitally networked systems.
