Manufacture

All materials are produced through lengthy sinter pressing processes with extremely long press cycles.
This enables us to produce covers up to 12 m long with no welding seams and also ensures a tension-free
internal structure compared with the typical standard sinter press process and extrusion.

Assembly

PE dewatering elements have a high level of thermal expansion. They must therefore be installed in such a way that enables the strips or covers to expand without restriction (T-bars, corner strips, dovetail guides, screws in elongated holes). The base frame support must have a grid of approx. 250 mm to ensure flawless functionality for our covers. This support must extend to the underside of the cover to ensure it has a flat installation surface.
