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.
