Diverse range of series-manufactured products

JACOB Pipework Systems has increased its range of series-manufactured and special products. The patented Jacob Earthing Bridge, with around 200,000 sales to date, is being complemented with a new model – the Universal Earthing Bridge. This modification has an even wider field of application and replaces the earthing cable traditionally used for the electrostatic potential equalisation of pipe systems. Because the bridge is fixed to the Jacob pull-ring using simple screw-fixings, no welding work is required, even for retrofitting existing systems. The diversity of additional abrasion protection systems and non-stick coatings is demonstrated by differently lined pipes and fittings. A wide variety of lining materials and thicknesses is available to suit the

customer’s requirements. Tried and tested PU linings or special brand-name linings with thicknesses of 2 to 8mm, which are used to line the inside of the pipes to maximise their service life, are a popular choice. These can also be provided to food-grade standard, if required.

Modular pipework systems from Jacob

The new Jacob Hygiene Distributor is suited to applications where the requirement for frequent cleaning of the inner surfaces necessitates quick and easy disassembly and reassembly of the parts. The innovative design of the distributor allows this to be achieved even in its installed state. The entire shaft and flap components can be

removed and refitted easily without using tools. Fr Jacob Söhne GmbH & Co KG – Germany Fax: +49 571 9558 160
