Work involving highly explosive liquids and gases requires accordingly secured
technology. Especially in the oil and gas exploration sectors but also in mines with high
dust generation or gas influx, explosion protection is a hugely important issue. In order to
carry out heavy work without risks in such hazardous areas, an explosion-protected valve
technology was already developed and implemented years ago.
FOCUS
We want to inspire our customers around the world with Apart from explosion protection, the requirements placed on …designed to ensure safety and reliability
high-quality products and get engaged as a valuable partner in the valve technology in the oil and gas sector are extensive, since
energy sources are often to be found either in very warm or
development of technically demanding hydraulic systems. in extremely cold areas in the world. With valves for ambient
temperatures of down to -60 °C or up to +90 °C, a large tem-
perature range can be covered. Explosion-proof valves are
often also used outside in harsh environmental conditions.
Hansruedi Wandfluh and Matthias Wandfl uh They not only come into contact with salt water but are also
exposed to corrosive gases or substances. Explosion-pro-
tection valves are therefore mostly made from corrosion-re-
sistant or stainless materials. Over decades, Wandfluh has
developed a broad portfolio of valve and amplifier technolo- OIL+GAS
