High quality and precise burst behaviour, even in harsh processes The move from mechanical scoring to unique CPX™ manufacturing

The continued development of in-house technology by the German rupture disc manufacturer REMBE allows the company to manufacture rupture discs with sustainable advantages and industry-leading performance characteristics for a wide range of industries and sectors.

Contour Precision Lasering (CPL™) and Contour Precision Profiling (CPP™) enables high quality, accurate, burst control even in the harshest of chemical environments. With the CPL™ the predetermined breaking points are sublimated using a laser with high-tech equipment and not, as is the case with other manufacturing methods, mechanically scored. This high-tech production method includes a digitisation of the rupture disc contour, whereby extremely high structural stability of the rupture disc as well as the most precise burst pressure and opening geometries are achieved when bursting. Based on this innovative technology, the Sauerland-based company is creating the CPX technology series. Thanks to its improved, high-precision and at the same time robust features, CPX is excellently suited for industries with harsh conditions, aggressive process media and even for processes in which strict hygiene standards must be met.

In contrast to traditional mechanical scoring, with the CPL™ manufacturing method, the material structure of the rupture disc (including the opening lines of the rupture disc) is not thermally affected or mechanically integrally weakened. The surface facing the process remains completely smooth and without unevenness, scratches or indentations, which means that the rupture disc cannot be affected by product deposits from the often aggressive process medium. 

The known IKB-, IKB-X- and SFD types are the “classics” of the CPX series. Even rupture discs already installed in plants can easily and quickly be replaced with a CPX version, which means that, in addition to maximising plant availability, the incurred operating costs can also be reduced without much effort.

In summary, rupture discs of the innovative manufacturing method CPL™ offer the following advantages: 

• Durability thanks to a robust design
• Lower burst pressures with tighter tolerances
• Precise bursting behaviour and extreme reliability
• Resistance to corrosion and pin-holing
• Cost efficiency thanks to the high production speed
