Enhanced Efficiency, Safety and Sustainability with New Normet Xquick Couplers: Seamless Tool Changes in Seconds Without Manual Labor

Normet, a constantly growing, innovative technology company proudly announces the expansion of its rock-breaking product line Normet Xrock, with the introduction of the new quick coupling system, Xquick. The Xquick coupler, introduced to the mining market in collaboration with the market leader OilQuick, enables operators to switch tools within seconds from the safety of the cabin, eliminating the need for any manual intervention.

“We are excited to enhance our portfolio with the addition of Xquick couplers, creating new business opportunities for our customers. The Normet Xrock product line, known for its comprehensive rock-breaking solutions, has now become even more robust”, said Jyrki Hyyrönmäki, Global Sales Director Xrock Breaker Product Line.

The addition of Xquick couplers to the Xrock product line opens brand new possibilities for enhanced safety and efficiency for mining and construction companies. The Xquick couplers enable operators to streamline attachment connections to booms and carriers, optimizing fleet costs and size while significantly boosting productivity. Different tasks can now be executed with a single device by switching the needed attachment quickly, with only a couple of movements.

“We prioritize listening to our customers and that guides our work. Our goal is to provide pioneering solutions that enhance safety, productivity, and sustainability. The Xquick couplers are a testament to that commitment”, said Hyyrönmäki.

Xquick couplers allow rapid tool changes from within the cabin, significantly reducing the risk of accidents and minimizing knee, hand, and back injuries from manual labor. Secure connections prevent unexpected detachments, ensuring safe and reliable operations. Features such as automatic hose closure and dust-protected oil connections maintain cleanliness and safety, promoting smoother operations.

“Normet has always strived to find solutions that positively impact our people, customers, and the environment. The new Xquick couplers enable our partners to focus on their business while having the confidence of working in a mindful, more sustainable way.”, said Hyyrönmäki.

Alongside the new coupler, Normet is also expanding its Xrock portfolio of tool attachments. "Our solutions are designed to meet the evolving needs of the mining industry," stated Jyrki Hyyrönmäki. "Normet Xrock offers a comprehensive suite of rock-breaking technologies, and with the addition of new attachments, we offer our customers new, more efficient ways of working."

The new Normet Xquick couplers are released at MineExpo trade show in Las Vegas in September.
