Switch&Lock 360 hose coupling

Michel Tube Engineering GmbH is showcasing its latest developments and digital services at KUTENO 2026. A key focus of the trade fair appearance is the launch of the new B2B online shop, michel.shop; featuring integrated inquiry and login functions, it sets new standards in customer-oriented procurement. The shop enables efficient, user-friendly handling of inquiries and orders, offering customers rapid access to an extensive product range—around the clock, seven days a week.

In addition to these digital enhancements, Michel Tube is presenting further developments of established products. The successful Switch&Lock® 360 plug-in coupling will soon be available in additional tube diameters, significantly expanding its range of applications. A particular highlight is the new 100% stainless steel version with integrated grounding. This provides a safe, clean grounding solution without risking leaks—a common issue when folding back the spring steel wire found in hoses. Furthermore, the risk of injury associated with bending the spring steel wire is significantly minimized. Visual inspection capabilities and a calibrated tube connection round out the features focused on user-friendliness and process reliability.

Other highlights include the Michel Vario-Tisch 2.0, which features a third infeed level, and the Michel Vario-Tisch light—a cost-optimized model manufactured to order for large-scale projects to meet exact project requirements.
Material containers with a capacity of up to 2,000 liters and an optional locking mechanism complete the new product portfolio for KUTENO 2026.

With this year’s new products and digital solutions at KUTENO 2026, Michel Tube Engineering GmbH underscores its commitment to developing practical innovations for the plastics and bulk material industries and continuously delivering added value to its customers.
