Pressure vessel
from Kremsmueller
Customised for complex storage and production requirements
Pressurised containers guarantee safe storage for your raw materials and products. Kremsmüller Druckbehälterbau has been manufacturing and installing such closed systems, which are designed for pressures ranging from a few mbar to several hundred bar, for many decades.
Pressurised containers for the storage of liquids and gases
The task: These pressurised containers are specially designed for the safe handling of high pressure.
- Compressed air tanks enable the storage of pressurised air for controls and drives, cleaning or cooling
- Gas tanks store gases under pressure and thus ensure a smaller volume during storage
- Pressurised water tanks are, for example, storage tanks for energy supply or for processes
Pressure vessels for processes (pressurised apparatus)
A pressure device is actively involved in the processing of materials and utilises pressure for specific processes. These include, for example
- Reactors: For the precise control of certain reactions under defined pressure and other conditions
- Dryers and vaporisers: Enable the separation and processing of mixtures of substances with vacuum and heat
- Heat exchangers: Used for exchanging heat between two media, e.g. transferring waste heat from an industrial process to a district heating network or cooling a medium with cooling water, etc.
- Heat storage tanks: Pressurised water heat storage tanks are used to decouple electricity and heat production over time
We process what you need
In pressure vessel construction, we process a wide range of materials that can withstand the highest loads, for example due to corrosion, pressure or temperature, according to our customers’ requirements.
Material selection:
The steels we use are characterised by high ductility, quality and weldability.
For example, we process various special steels from 3 to 200 mm, as well as aluminium, nickel alloys, titanium and stainless steel.
Strength calculations:
Our engineering team will dimension the pressure vessel according to your requirements and the applicable standards.
We will be pleased to advise you on the selection of design codes such as AD 2000, EN 13445, ASME Section VIII Div.1/2, TSG etc. and find the most favourable and safest design for you.
Welding process:
Correct welding procedures and precise execution are crucial for the integrity of the pressure vessel.
Our highly trained and experienced welders with one of the most modern machine parks in Europe ensure weld seams that can withstand the highest loads.
How we build your pressure vessel
Kremsmueller’s pressure vessel experts realise your project on the basis of the process engineering design in basic engineering: Depending on the requirements with
- Consulting
- Detail engineering
