The Environmental Challenge: Quick Couplings to Prevent Leakage
Research and development in the quick coupling industry is advancing beyond functionality and focusing on manufacturing leak-free quick couplers which also minimize impact to the environment. According to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), every year, more than 370 million liters of hydraulic fluid runs off from hydraulic systems and ends up on the ground or in water sources such as rivers, lakes and aquifers. As more businesses have established improved standards for eco-friendly practices, there are more opportunities than ever before to improve the environmental impact of our products. Manufacturing is more than designing and engineering for improved functionality and performance. Sustainability and efficiency can actually support each other to create new hydraulic solutions.
