Automatic Gas Coupling System

qoupler G

qoupler G automatically connects the gas supply to steelmaking ladles. It increases operator safety and ensures a secure and reliable connection.

The qoupler G is an advanced, automatic gas coupling system that guarantees speed, safety, and reliability. Tailored for demanding environments, such as steel mills, it guarantees optimum performance in harsh conditions. The system is easy to install and adapt to existing setups, ensuring smooth operation and maintenance.

It is suitable for all ladle sizes and flow requirements, coupling up to three supply lines via a single unit. Activation is automatic when the ladle is placed on the station or transfer car, and the gas supply starts immediately upon contact of the coupling parts. A spring-loaded system ensures a reliable connection and high freedom of movement, as well as proven functionality under demanding conditions. Improved ladle guidance facilitates precise crane positioning without additional effort from the crane operator.

Automatic Slide Gate Coupling System

qoupler D

qoupler D is a globally unique solution that automatically couples the hydraulic cylinder with the ladle slide gate. This enables the controlled casting of steel - without any manual intervention or complex robot technology.

The system combines maximum safety with efficient operation by connecting the slide gate drive, gas supply, and control signals in one smooth step. No manual work is needed, and complex robotics are not required.

Installed on the ladle turret or ingot casting car, the system aligns itself automatically, compensates for misalignment, and ensures secure coupling with minimal wear. qoupler D is built for the casting floor, where safety is critical.
