Aalberts Integrated Piping Systems (IPS) has expanded its Apollo PowerPress product line—ideal for food and beverage operations—with new large-diameter (LD) options, available in 2 ½ inch (in.), 3 in., and 4 in. diameters.

Apollo PowerPress LD offer reliable, hygienic seals—including HNBR or EPDM sealing elements with zinc-nickel coatings—and deliver superior corrosion resistance. EPDM seals are ideal for process and utility water handling, as well as low-pressure steam used in cleaning, pasteurization, and temperature-controlled applications. HNBR options support safe transfer of food-grade gases and oils. These features ensure sanitary, contamination-resistant distribution of water, steam, and inert gases in food processing plants, breweries, and beverage bottling facilities.

The system incorporates the innovative Leak Before Press technology, preventing unpressed connections from holding pressure and thus enhancing installation integrity and safety. For smaller Apollo PowerPress sizes (½ in. to 2 in.), a color-coded Visual Control Ring (VCR) is featured, with tabs that break away to provide quick visual identification of completed connections. A standout feature of the Apollo PowerPress LD (2 ½ in. to 4 in.) is the color-coded Visu-Control foil, which splits for easy removal after press completion. This ensures that unpressed connections are easily identifiable prior to system pressurization, further improving quality control and reducing inspection time.

The Apollo PowerPress LD system is compatible with Ridgid and Milwaukee Press Tools, increasing installer convenience and allowing for faster installations with commonly used tools. Its full-port flow design maximizes flow rates, enhancing system efficiency and performance in fluid management.

Aalberts IPS continues to support its products with comprehensive field service, ensuring successful implementation from pre-construction training to post-installation support.
