Dams, aeronautics, polar exploration, laboratory ...
Foundries / Metalworking Industry / Machines Construction / Civil Engineering or construction
Chemical / petrochemical atex
Description
For the steel industry in China, we have built cylinders to polish and unrust stainless steel sheets under sulphuric acid baths.
For nuclear power, we make pneumatic cylinders for manipulator arms in a confined environment.
Characteristics
Special paint;
DUPLEX Stainless steel rod
Protective sleeve over the rod
Specific sealing
Field of activity
Chemistry, nuclear, test bench, water treatment, food industry ...
Clean room
Description
In wine production, chemical, pharmaceutical and food production, the movement of production machines is controlled by cylinders using specific fluids, ensuring the integrity of the product in the event of a leak and constructed in materials resistant to oxidation.
For example, the company manufactures double-acting telescopic cylinders to press grapes into the wine vat.
Features
