MOLOScode patent for over 30 years

Whether a hose is connected to a coupling station or not is important information for the process control. Of course, it would be even better to know which hose has been connected where. In order to obtain this information, it is necessary to provide the couplings with “intelligence”.
Wolfgang Hageleit, founder and managing partner of MOLLET Füllstandtechnik GmbH, had an idea for this and developed a solution that he patented more than 30 years ago. He and his team also brought this innovation to market maturity. He used it to solve existing customer problems and developed a new product line that today contributes significantly to MOLLET’s success.
This is the intelligent coupling system MOLOScode, which makes it impossible to connect hoses and pipes incorrectly. Each hose is fitted with a transponder and each pipe connection is equipped with a reader that reports directly to the control system via a bus system which hose has been connected.
All common coupling systems can be converted into an electronically coded coupling with RFID technology using MOLOScode. This ensures reliable differentiation between the product and flushing connection as well as the detection of a hose connection with the wrong process medium. As soon as the process control system detects an incorrect or missing hose connection, the associated valve is immediately blocked and the error is communicated via diagnostic tools. MOLOScode also makes it easy to keep track of intertwined hoses. The contamination of hoses or hose maintenance dates can be conveniently monitored via the process control system. The entire internal product distribution is mapped online in the process control room and enables seamless documentation and traceability.
