KG2000 taking civil by storm

06/08/20200

After launching our KG2000 Polypropylene civil piping system onto the market in November last year, we have experienced a better than expected uptake and acceptance of the product. KG2000 was first developed by Ostendorf Kunstoffe, a leading German pipe manufacturer, in 1999. KG2000 is a medium density Polypropylene with additional mineral compounds to increase the ring stiffness allowing the system to accept extreme forces. All fittings are manufactured to meet a rating of SN16 and pipes come in 2 forms being either SN10 or SN16.

KG2000 is unique in the fact that it has a complete system with pipes and injection moulded fittings from 110mm to 500mm meaning than no special fabrication or additional manufacturing of fittings is required. Being a push-fit type system, no special tooling or welding is required and being light weight, it is easy to handle and has less OH&S issues compared with much heavier alternatives such as concrete.

The facts:

  • Sizes available from 110mm to 500mm
  • Full range of injection moulded bends, junctions & reducers
  • All fittings rated to SN10
  • Choice of pipe rating of SN10 or SN16
  • Suitable for pH levels 2-12
  • Simple, fast push-fit installation
  • Lightweight and easy to handle
  • Suitable for use in civil, trade waste, sewer, stormwater and directly under airport runways!

Laundry/Surge Channels

29/05/20200

AusPress continues to expand our market penetration by introducing our products into new markets nationally. We have been supplying Laundry and surge channels into South Australian projects for many years, but recently we have been requested to supply these items to other states.

Surge channels are used in laundromats, aged/residential care facilities, laundries in student accommodation and defence facilities.

A surge channel slows down the flow of hot washing water into the drainage system. They have mesh barrier screens, to remove lint, paper etc. and stop it from entering the drainage system. At the end of the unit they can have a silt trap assembly, as a last step to catch any silty soil product in the system.

They are located at the rear of the washing machines, and the discharge enters into the surge channel, behind the screen lint screens. The capacity of the washing machines, determines the size of the unit required for each project.

As with any AusPress Stainless Steel manufactured product; the channels, components and accessories are 100% Australian Made

Find more information on these channels on page 8 of our Technical Catalogue,  contact our technical design department or speak to your local representative.
