(pressebox) Porta Westfalica, 23.04.2009, With its new state-of-the-art powder-coating system, the JACOB company, based in Porta Westfalica, Germany, is continuing to strengthen its market leadership in the field of metallic, modular pipework systems. The ultra-modern plant is almost completely automated and guarantees not only a faultless external coating, but also a continuously even internal coating. The even internal coating is achieved by inserting mobile lances into the pipe components. At the same time, an innovative new type of powder is employed. The new powder is electrically conductive and complies with the strictest of requirements regarding contact with food stuffs. All of the materials used meet the "FDA" food-grade requirements of the "Food and Drug Administration", the US regulatory authority responsible for food safety.
Further benefits: The pipework system is secured against electrostatic charging by the simple combination of the manufacturer’s easy-to-install pull-ring connections and conductive U-shaped seals. It can therefore be used safely for ATEX applications, with no problem at all. The customary earthing cables and earthing lugs are no longer needed. No additional or expensive installations or welding work is required for retrofitting existing systems.
Although the innovative new powder-coating material is more expensive than the previous materials available on the market, JACOB intends to keep the current catalogue prices for its modular pipework system stable and unchanged throughout 2009.
