Mollet Intelligent Couplings

Intelligent hose coupling systems from MOLLET Füllstandtechnik provide reliable and efficient monitoring of hose connections in industrial processes. They prevent mix-ups, enhance safety, and support automation in filling and material handling operations.

Types and Characteristics

• MOLOScode — Fully automatic monitoring using RFID technology. Coded hoses and couplings (Storz, Camlock, dry couplings, road tanker couplings, and others) enable precise identification of every connection. Prevents human error in material assignment. Compatible with various bus systems via protocol converters.

• MOLOSswitch — Couplings equipped with limit switches (mechanical or inductive). Actuated upon hose connection (e.g., MOLOSswitch KEIN-FSZ for Storz, KEIN-VK for road tanker, KIN for quick couplings, K-SSZ for fixed stations). Reliable signal output for silo/tank filling and coupling stations.

• MOLOScamlock — Innovative rotatable Camlock couplings optimized for bulk solids conveying. No impact edges in the flow path, improved flow rate, and enhanced safety.

• MOLOSlock — Lockable Storz coupling systems with automatic locking and interlocking features for silo pipes and other connections, preventing unauthorized access.

• Other solutions — Swivel lever limit switches, combinations for hose stations, and RFID retrofits for various coupling types.

Characteristics: ATEX-compatible versions available, robust materials for aggressive environments, mechanical/electronic actuation, seamless integration into PLC/process control systems.

Advantages

• Fully automatic hose detection and monitoring (especially with RFID in MOLOScode) — eliminates mix-ups and human error.

• Reliable signaling when hoses are correctly connected (limit switches in MOLOSswitch).

• Increased plant safety and process reliability — prevents wrong material filling, contamination, or accidents.

• Innovative designs (e.g., rotatable Camlock without impact edges, automatic locking).

• Easy integration into existing systems, low maintenance, and broad compatibility with common coupling standards (Storz, Camlock, dry couplings, etc.).

• Supports automation and digital material flow tracking.

Applications

• Filling of silos, tanks, and containers with bulk solids (cement, grain, powders, chemicals).

• Pneumatic conveying and transfer of bulk materials.

• Hose coupling stations and hose stations in process plants.

• Chemical, food, pharmaceutical, plastics, building materials, and agriculture industries.

• Road tanker unloading and internal transfer lines.

• ATEX-classified hazardous areas requiring explosion protection.

• Processes with strict requirements for product purity, traceability, and operational safety.

These systems are ideal for companies focused on eliminating human error, improving process control, and ensuring maximum safety in hose-connected material handling
