Exciting news from our shopfloor! 🚀

After 15 years of reliable service, we’ve replaced our vertical turning machine with a state-of-the-art turning-milling center DMG MORI: the DMG CTX beta 450 TC. 🛠️

On May 29, we successfully machined the first stainless-steel component on the new machine – a lid for a Pressure / Vacuum Relief Valve housing. ✅

We are now in the ramp-up phase:
🔧 Continuous creation and validation of new machining programs
🔧 Systematic fine-tuning and optimization directly on the machine

This investment is a key step toward even greater flexibility, precision, and efficiency in our production – and will further enhance the product quality we deliver to our global customers. ✨

New R&D-driven development from PROTEGO® for specialized customer requirements! 🚀

We are supplying an SD-BS-SH-300 to a customer in the US chemical industry – a high performance pressure relief valve for venting tanks and process equipment under the toughest conditions.

🔧 Key facts:
• Designed by our R&D team for superheated service up to 350°C
• Metal valve seat seal with the outstanding PROTEGO® leakage rates
• Suitable for extreme weather conditions or products that tend to form polymers at certain temperatures

🛡️ Performance & safety:
• Protects against impermissible overpressure
• Minimized product losses up to the set pressure
• Full-lift technology: the valve starts to open as soon as the set pressure is reached and requires only 10% overpressure to full lift

No matter how complex the application or how extreme the conditions – we develop the solution that fits. We don’t just rely on proven designs; our strength is in engineering dedicated, tailored devices to meet specific process requirements. Customized safety equipment is part of our daily business.
