The Collaboration Between Stucchi and RAMI Custom Srl
RAMI Custom is an Italian company based in the
province of Bergamo, specializing in the design and manufacture of custom
demolition machinery.
Founded in 1969 by Pietro Assolari as a distributor
and service center for earthmoving equipment, RAMI has continuously expanded
its expertise over the years. This evolution led to the establishment of RAMI
Custom, a division dedicated to developing tailor-made solutions for complex
applications by adapting standard machines to operate reliably under
particularly demanding working conditions.
A Long-Standing Partnership
The collaboration between Stucchi and RAMI spans
more than thirty years.
Today, Stucchi supplies RAMI with standard quick couplings
for the aftermarket while also collaborating on the development of custom
projects, providing dedicated connection solutions for demanding demolition
applications.
A recent example involves a large demolition
machine equipped with booms reaching working heights of up to 45 metres. For
this project, the two companies worked closely together to identify the
connection systems best suited to the required levels of efficiency,
reliability and operational safety.
The Stucchi Solutions
For this project, RAMI selected a
combination of DP Series Multicouplings and VEP-HD
Screw-to-Connect Flat Face Couplings, achieving an optimal balance of
robustness, ease of operation and long-term reliability.
DP Series Multicouplings
The DP multicoupling plates were selected
for their compact design and their ability to connect multiple hydraulic lines
simultaneously, reducing both installation space and connection time.
Their flat face design prevents dirt and
air from entering the hydraulic circuit, helping maintain fluid cleanliness
while protecting system components from contamination.
They also allow quick connection and
disconnection even in the presence of residual pressure, simplifying
maintenance operations and facilitating boom removal when required.
VEP-HD Screw-to-Connect Flat Face
Couplings
For hydraulic lines subjected to high
operating pressures and severe mechanical loads, RAMI uses the VEP-HD
Series, developed specifically for heavy-duty applications commonly found
in demolition and earthmoving equipment.
Their design provides:
- Safe connection and disconnection under residual pressure on
both the male and female sides
- Virtually zero fluid loss during connection and disconnection
- Excellent resistance to pressure impulses and high operating
pressures
- Long service life even under intensive duty cycles
The Results
RAMI chose Stucchi for its ability to
provide both technical expertise and reliable connection solutions specifically
engineered for the demanding requirements of the demolition industry.
The adoption of the DP Series multicouplings
and VEP-HD screw-to-connect couplings has enabled RAMI to:
- Reduce maintenance time and attachment replacement time
- Simplify boom removal for transport operations
- Improve hydraulic circuit cleanliness and operator safety
- Ensure consistent performance even under the most demanding
operating conditions
Conclusion
The partnership between Stucchi and RAMI
demonstrates how close technical collaboration can lead to practical,
long-lasting solutions.
By combining RAMI’s expertise in custom
demolition machinery with Stucchi’s know-how in hydraulic connection
technology, the two companies have achieved a tangible result: machines that
are more efficient, easier to maintain and capable of delivering reliable
performance even in the toughest working environments.
