Richter’s common product lines such as ball valves, control valves, sight glasses, safety valves, check valves, manual control valves, sampling valves, and magnetic coupling pumps are now available in conductive PFA and FDA-compliant versions.
This development is particularly important for the chemical industries as it ensures the highest safety and purity standards.
PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy) is a high-performance plastic belonging to the fluoropolymer family. It offers exceptional chemical resistance, high thermal stability, and non-stick properties.
The conductive variant of PFA contributes to safety by dissipating static electricity, thus preventing the risk of sparks or explosions caused by electrostatic discharges.
Richter's valves and pumps with plastic linings are specially developed for demanding industrial applications with corrosive media. The conductive PFA lining is particularly important in environments where flammable or explosive materials are processed.
The incorporation of black conductive plastic is done using the transfer molding process.
Another crucial advancement is the FDA compliance of the products. This ensures that the materials and products meet the strict requirements of the US Food and Drug Administration.
Additionally, Richter's products are certified according to the latest TA Luft (Technical Instructions on Air Quality Control).
This certification ensures that the valves and pumps comply with strict emission limits, contributing to environmental and human health protection.
