2 New roducts for 2009 Transfero pressure maintenance and Vento degassing for particularly high pressures The boom in Asia and the general tendency in urban areas to build higher and higher has been accelerating the demand for pressure maintenance and degassing stations designed for particularly high pressures. The Transfero and Vento families for heating and cooling systems are therefore being extended with the... types for pressures above 10 bar. The owercube panel is designed for a 3 x 400 V input and is fitted with an Emergency Off mains isolator. An optional 60 Hz version is also available. Redox for comprehensive water treatment The famous Zeparo separators for micro bubbles and dirt particles have been extended with the Redox ZUR range. The Redox can also reduce the oxygen content in system water and is therefore suitable for comprehensive water treatment in small heating, solar and chilled water systems. DLV New generation of lock shield valves to meet all customer requirements Lock shield valves are required for isolating and draining expansion vessels. Sounds simple, but the types available on the market do not meet all customer requirements. neumatex has therefore developed its own DLV lock shield valve. neumatex AG reserves the right to make technical changes at any time. roduct overview Mühlerainstrasse 26 CH-4414 Füllinsdorf hone +41 (0) Fax +41 (0) info@ www.

26 THE EVOLUTION of a visionary idea 1909 Establishment of an installation company Carl Stücklin establishes a company for the «Construction phase of central heating and sanitary systems». He soon stands out from his competitors due to his unconventional ideas From installation company to the production and development company Under the leadership of sons aul, Kurt and Julius, the Stücklin company develops following the hard years of war to a system supplier. Now the company is capable of designing and manufacturing. With own boilers and radiators, everything can be offered from one source The expansion technology arrives and sealed heating systems are born The boiler construction is still in the foreground. However the revolution of the expansion technology is imminent. In the mid fifties aul Stücklin is the first to install a bag of butyl rubber into a expansion vessel. These are the first stages of the sealed heating systems, the birth of the legendary airproof butyl bag as we know it today. One pionieer action is followed by the next. In 1965 the first series-manufactured compressor automat in the world the first transferomat. From 1977, Andreas Stücklin manages the fate of the company The expansion technology becomes the core business At the end of the eighties, all activities are focussed on the sealed expansion technology. In light of the awareness that sealed systems cannot solve all problems, neumatex applies for a degassing patent in a milestone: Vento, the first affordable vacuum degasser for heating systems experiences its success ful launch. In the following years, an unrivalled technology for the pressure maintenance, degassing and water make-up is developed.
