Our components are suitable for T1–T22, T50, and T75 applications, IBCs, and offshore, and comply with international standards (including ADR/DNV).

Manholes & Inspection Hatches

• Manlid assemblies 500/460/300/170 mm (low-profile, deep neck, domed/flat, bitumen)

• Neck rings, clamps, covers and inspection hatches
  ✅ Access for inspection and cleaning, leak-tight sealing, custom radius & gasket

Valves: Butterfly Valves & Ball Valves

• Butterfly valves 2″–6″ (standard 316 stainless steel, optional PFA lining, up to 6 bar, −40°C…+220°C)

• Ball valves (full bore 2″ & 3″, left-/right-opening, sealable)
  ✅ Minimal pressure drop, quick operation, manual or actuated

Safety Valves & PV Valves

• Overpressure and vacuum protection for ISO tanks and piping (incl. steam piping)

• Adjustable and testable, supplied with test reports and material certificates
  ✅ Leak-tight safety, matched to medium and set pressure

T50 Gas Safety & Emergency Shut-off Valves

• Gas safety relief valves (overpressure, with/for rupture-disc holder)

• Internal emergency shut-off valves for gas and liquid phase (ACME outlets, high test pressure)
  ✅ Valves serviceable without special tools; seal replaceable in situ

Cryogenic Valves (T75)

• Cryogenic three-/five-way ball valves, check valves, and emergency shut-off valves

• PCTFE seals, temperature range down to −196°C
  ✅ Reliable for LNG and other cryogenic media

Foot Valves & Bottom Discharge

• Foot valves DN80 (3″) / DN100 (4″) in 30°/45°/90°/180°

• Manual or pneumatic, lined/coated for corrosive cargoes
  ✅ Double isolation in combination with butterfly valve/ball valve for maximum safety

API Valves (Bottom Loading)

• API valves with flat, leak-tight outlet
  ✅ Faster loading, lower emissions, compatible with international API interfaces

Air Inlet & Airlines

• Air inlet valves 1.5″ (BSP, full bore, flanged), remote controls in various lengths

• Airline solutions for vapor recovery and inert-gas blanketing
  ✅ Protection against implosion/explosion during loading/unloading

Couplings & Dry Couplings

• Dry disconnect couplings (leak-free connect/disconnect)

• Tank container couplings (adapter & flange couplings)
  ✅ Less spillage, higher safety, and faster workflows

Flange Work

• Adapter, blind, and weld-in flanges with rounded corners and serrated contact faces

• Recess/“recessed” flanges on request
  ✅ Optimal gasket grip and durable, leak-tight connections

IBC-Specific

• Fusible caps with integrated venting

• Safety valves, BSP dust caps, couplings
  ✅ Automatic pressure relief under overpressure/heat, hygienic and ADR-compliant

Failsafe & Fire Safety

• Fusible links that release at 110 ± 5°C
  ✅ Automatic emergency actuation in case of fire/overheating

Gaskets & Seal Kits

• In-house design & manufacturing, materials for chemical/cryogenic service (PTFE, PCTFE, etc.)
  ✅ Leak-tight performance, long service life, custom profiles available
