Aalberts integrated piping systems (IPS) has announces the launch of "Apollo" PowerPress® options in large diameter (LD), an extension of its renowned "Apollo"® PowerPress® product line. This new offering, available in large diameters of 2 1/2", 3", and 4", represents a significant advancement in piping technology, catering to broader applications and offering enhanced flexibility for large-scale projects.
Key features of the "Apollo"® PowerPress® LD, such as HNBR or EPDM sealing elements with zinc-nickel coatings, deliver superior corrosion resistance and reliable, hygienic seals, essential for food and beverage operations. EPDM seals are ideal for process and utility water handling, as well as low-pressure steam used in cleaning, pasteurization, and temperature control. HNBR options support safe transfer of food-grade gases and oils. These features ensure sanitary, contamination-resistant distribution of water, steam, and inert gases in food processing plants, breweries, and beverage bottling facilities.
The system incorporates the innovative Leak Before Press® technology, preventing unpressed connections from holding pressure and thus enhancing installation integrity and safety. For smaller "Apollo"® PowerPress® sizes (1/2" to 2"), a color-coded Visual Control Ring (VCR) is featured, with tabs that break away to provide quick visual identification of completed connections. A standout feature of the "Apollo"® PowerPress® LD (2-1/2" to 4") is the color-coded Visu-Control® foil, which splits for easy removal after press completion. This ensures that unpressed connections are easily identifiable prior to system pressurization, further improving quality control and reducing inspection time.
The "Apollo"® PowerPress® LD system is compatible with Ridgid® and Milwaukee Press Tools, increasing installer convenience and allowing for faster installations with commonly used tools. Its full-port flow design maximizes flow rates, enhancing system efficiency and performance in fluid management. Aalberts IPS continues to support its products with comprehensive field service, ensuring successful implementation from pre-construction training to post-installation support. This commitment to customer success has been a key factor in the widespread adoption of "Apollo"® PowerPress® technology.
The versatility of the "Apollo"® PowerPress® system has been proven in diverse settings, from multi-family housing complexes to international projects. In the Cayman Islands, Aalberts IPS successfully implemented the "Apollo"® PowerPress® technology in new constructions for a hospital and a restaurant, demonstrating its effectiveness in critical propane gas applications.
