We make swtiching easy! Push in connector to a Kent Systems quick coupling

We are starting a new series of instructional videos, they are all about how easy it is to switch from other couplings to our couplings and fittings.

The first video is how to switch from a push in connector to our open flow quick coupling. As you can see, it is very easy! Call us so we can customize your switch to your application.

What A Mess

If you take a look at the video you can see the difference between our quick coupling and the push button quick coupling. Both are a 1/4 inch shut off coupling. Inside each coupling is dead volume, and as you can see our coupling produces significantly less dead volume than our competitor. Also, our competitor’s coupling even splatters when connecting, something our coupling does not do. Watch our latest video and enjoy!




See the results. Our spatters are on the right and our competitor's are on the left. No doubt that ours has less dead volume, which means a lot less waste and mess.

New Machine Day!

Kent Systems just got a great new machine from Nissei. Here's some photos from that fun day!

First you'll see our old machine getting ready to leave home. Next it's being loaded onto a very long flat-bed. Then a mid-air shot of our new machine being unloaded from a different truck. Next you see Kent, Derek, and Lyle inspecting and positioning the new piece. (From the far left is Kent, Derek, then Lyle-Lyle is behind the machine! On the far right is a helper sent from the transportation company). And then finaly our machine is in place!

Enjoy the photos, and come see us on Facebook for even more neat pictures!

Plastic Bag Recycling-More helpful than Reusable Bags

If most consumers forget to bring their reusable shopping bags back to the store, how helpful is it to outlaw plastic bags? At least most cities do offer plastic recycling to households. My house does not have a bin for recycling cloth bags that don't get reused. Read more about California's efforts to combat plastic waste and raise awareness.

Ozone Enhancements

*The ozone industry has relied on expensive stainless steel fittings for too long!*

* *
KENT Systems has produced a plastic Quick Coupling made entirely of Kynar that has “shut-off” technology (The valve closes as the couplings are disconnected shutting off all fluid flow without any additional steps). This Kynar part is being field-tested and has impressed some of the largest Ozone product manufacturers in the United States. This new part costs far less than the stainless steel parts it aims to replace, making it the perfect solution to any company using ozone in its manufacturing/production process.

NPE

Lyle, Kent and I just came back from NPE, the premier tradeshow in the plastics industry. Since the event only comes around once every 4 years, it is a big deal. We saw new materials, machines, technologies, and companies. Along with the companies and technologies that have been around for many years. We had a great time, keep watching KENT Systems as we implement what we learned.

Series: KENT Systems Fitting Your World; Article 1-Classifying Product Flow Options

Identifying your flow option needs is a key decision any consumer must make before buying parts. Determining whether you need an Open-Flow (a continuous stream) or Shut-Off connector will affect your product systems overall performance. Our Sales Specialist strive to educate our customers by identifying the best flow-option for your application and educating them on how to easily identify KENT Systems parts based on features rather than a manufacturer number.

KENT Systems products are separated into 3 classes, W, X, and Y; this is how we categorize our flow-option choices. All three classes come in both male and female coupling configurations and all offer cost effective solutions for a number of applications.

Our W class couplings are considered Open-Flow products. Customers would use this product class when the application requires no Shut-Off valve. Key features of our W Class coupling include: Open-Flow, no valve, smooth bore (smooth wall texture of body wall), and can function as a check valve when connected to an X class coupling.

Next we have an X class coupling which is used when a Shut-Off valve is required. The internal valve that is visible from the barrels backside, and the unmistaken sky blue color that all KENT Systems Shut-Off parts are manufactured in are major identification tools. Another key feature of the X class is the parts ability to Shut-Off flow when you disconnect the couplings.

The 3rd KENT Systems class is a Y class coupling. The Y coupling is used frequently with applications that only require one Shut-Off valve. The most visible feature of the Y class is the 2-notches in-lieu of an internal valve. Other notable features include the Triggering Open-Flow and its ability to Shut-Off flow when disconnected by mating couplings.

Series: Why Buy KENT Systems; Article 6-Medium Assortment Lets You Customize Your Pricetag

KENT Systems ability to offer high quality products for less is a direct result of manufacturing parts in an assortment of plastic mediums. Our primary plastic resources include a reinforced nylon, natural polypropylene, glass fill, acetal resin, and kynar resin. Reinforced nylon is the most cost effective of these plastics and happens to be extremely durable. When clients seek an aesthetically pleasing part due to external visibility our best solution is the natural polypropylene. This product has similar properties to the reinforced nylon except its appearance is sharper and a bit more expensive. For clients who are not pushing a high volume of fluid or pressure through their systems but still needs durable parts we suggest using glass fill. The last two options are acetal and kynar resins. These mediums are offered to clients who need to push harsh chemicals & byproducts through our components. Though these resources are costly, they have the most diverse chemical compatibility. If you have questions regarding what type of plastic would suite your needs, call our seasoned sales specialists today.
