Culvert counts as medium-sized company to the leading manufacturers of valves and pressure pipe fittings for drinking water and gas supply, as well as pipes and fittings for building drainage. Custom castings, ie production of castings according to customer's specifications (drawings, records, patterns ...) supplement the portfolio. The development and production of highly acid-resistant enameled components and tubes and others for the plant in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries like services from planning to realization of foundry equipment round off the profile.
On the Lower Franconian locations Karlstadt and Laufach than 700 people are employed including a training rate of about 10%. This culvert is also one of the largest iron foundries.
With the tradition of a hammer and steel works that to the 15th Can be traced back centuries, culvert processed for its construction and civil engineering products cast iron, a group of materials with excellent material properties.
In the manufacture of pressure pipe fittings, Flanschenrohren and fittings, which are preferably used in the gas and water supply, used culvert ductile, ie deformation-performance cast iron. In contrast, the drainage pipe systems made of high quality cast iron, which is characterized by the very finely divided graphite in lamellar form, made. In addition, parts and components can be ordered in custom made of cast iron or ductile cast iron of varying quality.
According to the individual requirements culvert equipped its products with different application-specific surface protection systems. The program ranges from epoxy, wet paint and cement / bitumen coatings up to the enamel - a convincing surface protection procedure that finds its use especially in corrosive environments such as chemical plant and general mechanical and plant engineering as well as in sensitive industries of pharmacy and food industry.
Email as an inorganic component of the material composite is characterized by high resistance, wear resistance, diffusion safety and cleanability and finds its use in many areas.
