Advantages of the ASS®-Opti forming system
The ASS®-Opti forming system quickly creates a controlled inert gas atmosphere in the area of the seam root - thanks to impact forming, a defined forming chamber and flow-calming sintered metal inserts. The three-lip sealing discs ensure a secure hold and reliable sealing, even in pipe bends. Opti covers the pipe ID range 98-320 mm and can be used as Flex, Fix, Single and Flange. This makes forming easier, faster and more reproducible in practice - with a clean, low-oxidation root side.
The advantages at a glance
- Faster rinsing - impact moulding
Increased gas flow flushes the forming chamber in a short time. This reduces the purging/forming time compared to conventional methods by up to 50 % and increases productivity. - Less moisture in the moulding area
The gas shock not only displaces oxygen, but also moisture - an important prerequisite for a light-coloured, scale-free seam root. - Defined forming chamber with even gas distribution
The Opti forming chamber guides the gas in a controlled manner; Sintered metal inserts brake and distribute the current evenly in the root area. Result: stable, reproducible conditions. - Three-lip sealing discs = secure seal & hold
Three sealing lips ensure a tight installation and Stable position even in pipe bends - a plus for complex pipe runs. - 1 sealing disc → 4 applications
Opti Flex, Opti Fix, Opti Single and Opti Flange cover typical tasks with the same sealing disc geometry. The functional sketches illustrate the principle. - Wide range of applications (pipe ID 98-320 mm)
Opti is designed for medium to large pipe diameters - practical for plant and pipework construction. - Permanently bonded construction = less parts handling
The Base unit is permanently mounted; Sealing lips can be Change quicklywithout dismantling the system. This saves set-up time and minimises incorrect assembly. - Suitcase sets & complete packages
Common diameters are Clearly organised in a case organised - everything ready to hand for the construction site and workshop. - Easy handling in practice
Intuitive assembly, short distances and practical details simplify the process - from insertion to reproducible rinsing. - Robust, durable components
Designed for tough workshop and assembly use - with high-quality materials and sophisticated construction. - Rapid availability of spare parts
In-house production and regionally sourced components ensure Short distances and Rapid spare parts support. - Development & production in Upper Austria
Design, production and assembly take place entirely in Upper Austria - quality from a single source, reliably available.
