ROLLER - Pipe Crimping Technology

Pipe Crimping Technology


			:: Confirmations of suitability :: The suitability of crimping tools is determined basically by the manufacturer of crimping tools. Moreover the suitability of ROLLER’S crimping tools has been confirmed by the system manufacturer/supplier himself or approved through independent testing institutes. Confirmation of suitability through the system manufacturer/supplier More than 90 % of the manufacturers/suppliers of the pressfitting systems listed herein have tested ROLLER’S pressing tongs and confirmed the suitability for their pressfitting system. Confirmation of suitability through independent testing institutes The suitability of ROLLER’S pressing tongs for additional pressfitting systems have been confirmed through independent technical institutes: TÜV-Certificates Available Geberit Mepla, Geberit Mapress C-STAHL, Geberit Mapress EDELSTAHL, Geberit Mapress Kupfer, Nussbaum Cupress, Nussbaum Optipress, Unicor Unipipe, Viega-‘profipress’, Viega-‘profipress G’, Viega-‘sanfix P’, Viega-‘sanpress’, Viega- ‘Viegatherm P’, Wavin Tigris. The TÜV-certificates confirm that ROLLER’S crimping tools are suitable for producing perfect and system-conformity pressing joints corresponding to these systems, both in conjunction with ROLLER’S pressing tongs and the pressing tongs of system manufacturers/suppliers. Suitability test according to DVGW W 534 (potable water) Pressing joints produced with ROLLER’S pressing tools were tested by the stateoperated material testing institute in Darmstadt/Germany or the material testing institute of the Land of North-Rhine-Westphalia, Germany according to DVGW work sheet W 534. These material testing institutes are certified by the DVGW for making these tests. A representative cross-section of press joints of pressfitting systems Geberit Mapress Edelstahl, Raccorderie Metalliche inoxPRES, Uponor Unipipe and Viega-‘profipress’ was tested. The tests led to the result that all ROLLER’S pressing tools are suitable for producing perfect and system conformity pressing joints in accordance with these systems. Suitability test according to DVGW VP 614 /625 (gas) Pressing joints produced with ROLLER’S pressing tools were tested by the TÜV or by the material testing institute of the Land of North-Rhine-Westphalia, Germany according to DVGW rules VP 614/625. A representative cross-section of pressing joints of the pressfitting systems Geberit Mapress Edelstahl Gas, Geberit Mapress Kupfer Gas, Henco Gas, IBP >B<press Gas, Uponor MLC Gas, Viega-'profipress G', Viega-'sanpress INOX G' was tested. The tests led to the result that all ROLLER’S pressing tools are suitable for producing perfect and system conformity pressing joints in accordance with these systems.

			:: ROLLER’S pressing tongs / pressing rings :: Pressing tongs up to Ø 75 mm For highest quality demands! During the crimping operation pressing forces of up to 100 kN (10 t) may apply at the pressing jaws which have to be safely absorbed. Therefore ROLLER’S pressing tongs / pressing rings are made in forged and specially hardened, high-strength steel. The specific pressing contour is precisely machined and shaped together with the required outer machining of the pressing jaws and the denomination of the pressing contour and pipe size - in one operation on CNC production centres. Thus perfect, system-conformity secure pressing joints and long service life. ROLLER’S pressing tongs / pressing rings drives through ROLLER’S radial press and suitable drive units of other makes. Traceability according to EN 1775:2007! ROLLER’S pressing tongs/pressing rings with pressing contour M, V, SA, B, HR and UP have worked a specific marking into the pressing contour which leaves a lasting impression on the pressed fitting after the pressing process. This enables the user to check again whether the most suitable pressing tongs or the suitable pressing ring have been used to make the pressfit connection even after the pressing process. With this traceability ROLLER fulfils the recommen dations of the European standard EN 1775:2007 for the installation of pressfitting systems for gas.
