Pressure vessels

Q: What types of pressure vessels are there and what are they suitable for?

Typical designs include paint and adhesive pressure pots, agitated tanks for sedimenting or highly viscous media, as well as stainless steel and ATEX vessels for demanding or solvent-based applications. Heated or double-walled versions and dip tubes with filter screens are available as options.

Q: How do I size volume, pressure range and connections?

Volume is based on material throughput and cycle time; the pressure range on the desired delivery rate and viscosity. Outlets/connections (e.g., for material, return, agitator, gauge) must be matched to the number of consumers, nozzle flow rate and hose cross-section. Select safety valve and pressure regulator accordingly.

Q: Which factors influence delivery stability, safety and cleaning?

Influencing factors include agitator design, dip tube and filter screen geometry, material and sealing compounds, pressure control and air quality. Safety is ensured by certified valves/gauges, grounding/ATEX concept and tight connections. Smooth surfaces, suitable liners and media-resistant seals facilitate quick cleaning.

Discover paint & adhesive pressure pots, agitated tanks as well as stainless steel and ATEX vessels – optionally heated, double-walled or with dip tube and filter screen. From volume and pressure range to materials and liners through to connections and outlets: we tailor your pressure vessel precisely to the medium, viscosity, consumers and cycle time.

Applications & Benefits

Process-reliable delivery for paints, adhesives and resins with constant material pressure for reproducible film builds and clean metering – even with high-viscosity media. Correctly sized pressure vessels reduce rework, lower material and energy consumption and increase equipment availability.

Technology & Settings

Volume & pressure: Design based on throughput, open time and viscosity; use pressure regulators/gauges for stable delivery.
Agitator: Match geometry and speed to sedimentation and shear behavior.
Materials: Steel, stainless steel or lined versions (e.g., PTFE/PE) for chemical and solvent resistance.
Dip tube & filter screen: Protect nozzle and pump from particles.
Safety: Observe ATEX and grounding requirements for solvent-containing media.

Accessories & Integration

Accessories include pressure regulators, gauges and safety valves, agitators, dip tubes and filter screens, material and air connections, hoses and couplings, bump guards and frames, level and vent fittings as well as seal and maintenance kits.

We handle the compatibility check (medium, viscosity, connection layout) and integrate the vessel optimally into workshop and production line.
