From 23 - 24 November 2017 the “Plastic Pipes Conference” took place at the “Leela Mumbai Hotel” in Mumbai, India.

The conference provides a comprehensive overview of the latest material, technology, business trends and applications in the plastic field. Over 350 delegates listened to presentations and lectures from 25 speakers who are leaders in the field of plastic pipes. One of those was our technical sales representative Jochen Blickheuser. He introduced the Krah Pipes technology to those listening and focused on the importance of plastic pipe systems in the near future, because “the worldwide demand for plastic pipes is expected to grow more than 5% annually until the year of 2019”. Many third-world countries also concentrate more and more on plastic pipes, since they are simply more efficient, easy to handle and have a good UV resistance which is essential in African and Asian developing countries.

The Krah team has introduced a new addition to their supply range in 2017:
After a short time of development the KRAH HAS/BAS Fitting is now available from DN/ID 20 until DN/ID 300 mm and equivalent OD dimensions. The table below shows the current supply range and consider that we are able any time to adopt other dimension on your request.

Due to the perfect teamwork between our long-time Krah customer Dainippon Plastic, Japan and our own development team the fitting could be optimized for the usage in tank-fabrication. A lot of effort has been put into this creation to enable an even quicker and easier assembling of the HAS and BAS fitting in all these sizes. On request of our Japanese business partner the BAS system considers flange connectors and all dimensions are optimized for installation at fabrication of polyethylene tanks and apparatus. According to the requested size-range and the application Krah now provides the tailor-made welding equipment.
