We develop and manufacture custom lines made of modified polyethylene. To flexibly connect process connections for liquid media in beverage processing, the food industry in general, the pharmaceutical industry, and the chemical industry, prefabricated PTFE-lined hose assemblies have traditionally been used. A one-piece, thick-walled hose made of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene eliminates the disadvantage that leakage is
Flushing pistons that are propelled through hose lines are called “pigs.” They provide clean separation between the preceding paint and the solvent, air, or subsequent paint. This results in extremely short paint changeover times in automated systems, minimal paint waste, minimal solvent consumption, and excellent process quality. Rubber pigs often reach their limits at high
In paint spray guns, a distinction is made between horn air and atomizing air. The needle, on the other hand, is actuated by control air. This acts on a piston against a preloaded spring. Control pistons are also required in paint valves. These are often complex assemblies with numerous seals and channels that separate the
Paint valves often seal using valve seats with conical sealing surfaces. A hard/soft combination with a stainless steel valve seat has proven advantageous. The correct selection of the plastic’s strength (PVDF, PEEK, UHMW-PE) is critical and depends on the closing force of the piston. With the aid of a metal carrier onto which a plastic
To seal lateral movement between flat surfaces, we have developed various types of gate valve seals that meet all the requirements for lubrication-free sealing. This enables tolerance compensation, low friction, minimal dead space, LABS-free performance, and reliable continuous operation. Machining also makes it possible to accommodate virtually any installation space and develop a backward-compatible sealing
Comparable to spring-energized U-cup seals, but without dead space. If the groove of the U-cup seal is to be avoided in applications involving paint or food products, an O-ring can be used as the energizing element instead of a spring. Particular attention must be paid to preload, elastomer quality, and Shore hardness. Due to the
This is a proven design principle in which the chemically resistant, low-friction jacket made of polytetrafluoroethylene or ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene is energized by a stainless steel spring. This gives the U-cup seal elasticity, provides a low initial contact force, and allows the sealing force to increase with system pressure. Low-friction designs are possible, as are applications
For use in a dry-running compressor or gas compressor, piston rings made of PTFE compounds are essential. They operate without oil, thereby preventing contamination of the gas being compressed. During the manufacturing process, they are precisely formed to match the cylinder diameter, ensuring proper contact with the cylinder wall from the outset. Due to the
With PTFE bellows, it was previously possible to reinforce highly stressed areas with PEEK. It also made sense to use compounds for wrench flats, threads, and guide surfaces. When using PFAS-free bellows made of polyethylene, this is no longer necessary. Due to the strength of the alternative materials Endulfon P1 and P16, one-piece bellows can
A so-called solid radial shaft seal is machined from tube or solid stock and formed to the nominal shaft diameter so that it can also be optimized for low friction. The sealing lips can be designed to face either the same or opposite directions, allowing two media to be separated (e.g., food products from gear
