RAUPEX industrial pipe system. For different areas of application

The requirements for an industrial pipe are diverse. System builders and fitters place a lot of importance on fast and simple installation and an extensive fitting programme in industrial pipe construction. System operators, however, place more importance on efficiency and reliability. The RAUPEX industrial pipe system combines everything in one system. It is the ideal solution for compressed air, cooling water, industrial heating, chemicals, solids, inert gases and many other applications in industrial pipeline construction.

Benefits

40% fewer fittings on average

Quick and easy installation thanks to the flexibility of the pipes and ring coil

Colour identification

Get a glimpse of what’s flowing. No subsequent identification necessary

Installation with additional pre-stressing

The elasticity of the pipes also enables installation with pre-stressing

Low weight

As a rule, no structural measures are required to increase the ceiling load-bearing capacity

Different coloured pipes running along the wall and ceiling

Flexibility

The flexibility of RAUPEX industrial pipes stands out during installation and in the event of stresses, earthquakes and even pressure surges during operation. Installation of the pipes from the ring coil is even quicker.

Colour identification

The different colours of the RAUPEX industrial pipes allow you to see at a glance which medium is flowing through the pipe. Subsequent coating of the polymer pipe systems with an identifying colour is not necessary.

Pre-stressing
Due to the elasticity of RAUPEX industrial pipes, pipe installation can also be carried out with pre-stressing. There is no need for standard levelling legs – for faster installation.

Low weight

The low weight of RAUPEX industrial pipes saves on fixing materials. Existing cable trays can be used for quick fastening.

Extensions – even under pressure
The SMARTFUSE tapping sleeve can be installed in any position in the system – even during operation. With the SMARTFUSE branch clamp or the saddle, extensions are possible without cutting the industrial pipe. To German video

Floor installation
A typical floor installation with RAUPEX industrial pipes – in real time. How quickly can 35 metres of pipe, bracket clamps, fittings and floor brackets be installed? This type of installation is particularly common in the automotive industry. To German video
