Goodall® has introduced the DuraCrimp® coupling system, an exclusive and innovative crimping system for the next generation of Goodall steam hoses.
Specially designed for the Goodall Inferno ISO6134-2A and Super Inferno steam hoses, the DuraCrimp coupling system’s bolt-free connector eliminates steam leakage found with bolted clamps and failure risks associated with loose or warped bolts. The ergonomic system provides a permanent connection and long service life, while reducing installation time, saving maintenance costs, and preventing hose kinking.
In addition, the DuraCrimp coupling system’s unique safety handle was designed with an improved operator grip, enabling better manipulation of steam hoses. The handle also acts in eliminating kinks behind the couplings. Color-coded identification rings easily can be applied to the handle to track plant location or inspection frequency, and RFID chips also can be integrated to instantly obtain product data.
Lewis-Goetz and its subsidiary companies are the exclusive distributor of the Goodall® product line. Don Evans, president and CEO of Lewis-Goetz, said the DuraCrimp coupling system and Inferno steam hoses have undergone extensive testing and exceed ISO standards.
“Providing safe and reliable product solutions for end-markets and users are our top two concerns,” Evans explained. “The DuraCrimp coupling system is designed to ensure safe installation and a secure connection. The unique system also is much lighter in weight than standard fittings and clamps, which drastically reduces the risk of injury to the operator.”
