WANDFLUH MARINE

Wandfluh valves are increasingly being used in the marine sector. By using stainless

materials or equivalent surface treatments, corrosion protection is guaranteed even in
wet and salty conditions. When using water glycol as a hydraulic fluid, the inner workings

of the valves are adapted accordingly.

FOCUS
The harsh conditions at sea require robust and proven tech- …designed to ensure corrosion protection and low leakage
We want to inspire our customers around the world with nology that works reliably within a relatively high temperature

range. In the marine sector, the Wandfluh portfolio focuses
high-quality products and get engaged as a valuable partner in the on corrosion and explosion protection valve technology with
low leakage. The range of marine products additionally in-
development of technically demanding hydraulic systems. cludes valves constructed specially for the underwater world
which, thanks to their pressure compensation, are designed
for underwater robots with diving depths of 6,000 m. These
valves are often powered by biodegradable water glycol. On

numerous projects, Wandfluh has collaborated closely with
Hansruedi Wandfluh and Matthias Wandfl uh its customers to develop partial or complete solutions that

meet the high demands of the sector and the customers.
