New FASTER multi-connectors solution for forestry and recycling cranes The new application of the MULTIFASTER facilitates the handling and dismantling of the cranes in vehicles to speed up the operations of loading and unloading bulky materials

For more than 30 years, Leku-Ona has been the exclusive distributor in Spain and Portugal of products by FASTER®, a company recognised worldwide for its state-of-the-art and reliable couplings and quick connectors.

The Italian brand remains at the forefront when it comes to offering effective solutions adapted to the requirements of different markets, in this case that of forestry and recycling cranes.

SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR FORESTRY AND RECYCLING CRANES

It is very common to find trucks equipped with cranes to transport wood, scrap and other bulky materials. In these situations, the manoeuvres that are carried out with these extremely bulky materials require the dismantling and moving of the crane to provide more freedom of movement.

To perform this operation, the cranes are equipped with hydraulic or mechanical jacks, but in order to carry out the operation safely, easily and quickly there are several solutions on the market that include the use of quick-release hydraulic couplings.

Wood transport and haulage (and scrap recycling business) is many times performed with dedicated trucks, equipped with cranes.

Sometime, in order to load longer logs, increasing transport capacity, the crane has to be disassembled and left on ground (see above picture on the right).

To perform this operation the cranes are tipically equipped with Hydraulic or mechanic jacks and to make the operation safe, easy and quick there are several solutions on the market, using Quick Release Couplings.

Assembly Instructions

Here there are the assembly instructions for DIN 2353 fittings manufactured and marketed by NEXO FITTINGS. It is recommended to use pre-assembly tools.

 

1.- Tube preparation

Cut the tube square (do not use a pipe cutter). An angular offset of 0,5° is permissible.

 

Lightly debut the tube ends and clean the tube. The maximum permitted chamfer is 0.02 x 45 deg. The clamping area must be clean and free of any chips, dirt, grease, oiland paint.

 

 

2.- Tube preparation

Lightly lubricate. Immediately proceed with the assembly in order to avoid exposure to contamination.

 

 

Consecutively put the union nut first and then the cutting ring onto the tube end. Pay attention to the correct alignment of the cutting ring: The cutting edges have to face to the tube end.

 

Carefully insert the tube end into the 24° taper of the final assembly stud and push it firmly against the inner stop. The tube must be held in this position during the entire assembly process in order to avoid faulty assembly.

Difficult mounting conditions or larger sizes may require the use of a vise.

 

Press the pipe firmly against the stop in the coupling body. Tighten the nut with a wrench until no further tightening is possible. Hold coupling body steady with a wrench.

 

 

Checking: Slacken the nut and push back. Check that the gap between coupling body and rind is closed.

 

Repeated Assembly: Reassemble the con- nection using the same force as final as- sembly. This should be done each time the connection is reassembled.

How to identify and choose a DIN 3015 clamp Clamps are an economic solution for safely and easily fastening pipes and hoses, but how do you choose an ideal clamp?

DIN 3015 fastening clamps make assembly effective and economical, and guarantee defined pipe conduction. The system can be applied to multiple areas and sectors of industrial activity, but to do so it is essential to understand the product’s range, composition, and characteristics.

The clamp is made up of two identical halves that clamp the pipe, cable, or hose, and maintain the exterior measurement of the object that must be clamped. The clamp’s material will depend on the circuit’s pressure, temperature, and the location where it is installed.

The inner face of the clamp is manufactured with ribs or with a smooth surface. In this sense, clamps with ribs offer dampening against jolts and vibrations and absorb forces that act in the direction of the pipe’s axis, while clamps with a smooth inner surface are recommended for fastening flexible pipes and cables.

 

MATERIALS

 

Series A, B, and C clamps have metal parts: the weld plates are phosphated while upper plates are bichromated. All steel parts can also be supplied in AISI316Ti (1.4571) stainless steel.

 

The materials used to manufacture the body of the clamps are:

– Polypropylene: green colour

– Polyamide 6: black colour

– Solid rubber: black colour

– Aluminium

 

IDENTIFICATION CODE

 

The ordering codes for half clamps, as well as for full clamps, include the designation of the series, the material name, and the inner surface.

  • Polypropylene: RAPR (green colour). Soft interior: RAPG
  • Polyamide 6: RANR (black colour). Soft interior: RANG
  • Solid Rubber: RAVR (black colour). Soft interior: RAVG
  • Aluminium: RAAR

CLASSIFICATION AND SIZES AVAILABLE

 

LIGHT SERIES (A SERIES) DIN 3015 CLAMPS

– Polypropylene (P): Size from 1 to 8

– Polyamide (N): Size from 1 to 8

– Aluminium (A): Size from 1 to 6

 

DOUBLE SERIES (B SERIES) DIN 3015 CLAMPS

– Size from 1 to 5

 

HEAVY SERIES (C SERIES) DIN 3015 CLAMPS

– Polypropylene (P): Size from 1 to 9

– Polyamide (N): Size from 1 to 8

– Aluminium (A): Size from 1 to 8

 

 

 

DESCRIPTION AND ASSEMBLY OPTIONS

 

RAW MATERIAL

Pipe clamps are produced mainly from thermoplastic rubber.

 

ADVANTAGES

They offer significant improvements in terms of noise dampening and vibration behaviour.

 

THE IMPORTANCE OF ENSURING THE QUALITY OF MATERIAL USED

Using only quality materials, we guarantee:

  • Reduced vibrations with a subsequent reduction in noise
  • Resistance to the elements and ageing
  • Deterioration through use is avoided, given the elasticity of the material used
  • Resistance against a great number of chemical substances
  • A wide margin of application with regard to ranges of temperatures

 

ASSEMBLY

Assembly on weld plates

Weld theweld plates on a base that is suited for the load. Pay attention to the orientation of the clamps.

Restrain the lower half of the clamp on theweld plate, insert the pipe, place the second half of the clamp on top, and tighten it with the bolts. Pay attention to the pre-tension (the clamp halves should not be in contact after assembly).

Never weld with the plastic clamp already placed!

 

Assembly on pipe holder ducts

There are 4 different heights with pipe holder ducts, and 1 or 2 m long pieces are usually provided.

Weld the pipe holder duct or tighten it with an angular fastening piece.

Insert the pipe holder duct nuts into the duct and turn them as far as possible. In the heavy construction series, you should only insert them.

Restrain the lower half of the clamp on the duct pipe holder bolts, insert the pipe, place the second half of the clamp, and fasten it with the bolts. Before tightening the bolts, the clamp can be positioned. Pay attention to the pre-tension (the clamp halves should not be in contact after assembly).

 

 

Overlaid assembly

The clamps allow for assembly with various clamps of the same construction size, but also different pipe diameters, with one on top of the other. This overlaid assembly is carried out with special bolts that protect against torsion through safety plates.

Restrain the lower half of the clamp on theweld plate, insert the pipe, place the second half of the clamp on top, and tighten it with the bolts. This bolt extends out over the upper half of the clamp. By placing a guard plate on top, possible torsion from this bolt is avoided.

 

 SPECIFIED TORQUE FOR SCREWS AND PIPE CLAMPING AXIAL FORCES

The values for the specified torque for screws and pipe clamping axial forces refer to assembly with cover plates and exterior hexagonal bolts according to the ISO standard 4014/4017 (DIN 931/933).

The pipe clamping axial force (according to DIN 3015, part 10) is an average value that is determined based on three trials at 23°C with a St 37 steel pipe according to DIN 2448, for which the existence of friction from adherence is presumed. When a load from the clamp is noted in the axial direction of the pipe with the test force (F) indicated, the tube should not slide inside the clamp.

 

RECOMMENDED DISTANCES BETWEEN CLAMPS

The distances assigned to the various outer pipe diameters are considered to be standard values for the static load.
