One of the world-leading manufacturer of pipe fittings and valves, Conex Bänninger, is showcasing its wide range of fittings for the ACR sector, including its revolutionary >B< MaxiPro, at this year’s Chillventa International Exhibition.

Visitors to the company’s stand (Hall 9, Stand 235) will have the opportunity to see the award-winning >B< MaxiPro range – one of the most technologically advanced press-fit solutions on the market.
A special ‘giant’ print of a >B< MaxiPro fitting will take centre stage on-stand to attract visitors, with live demonstrations and example installation rigs available so that the unique benefits of the solution can be fully illustrated.

Utilising Conex Bänninger’s market leading three-point press technology, >B< MaxiPro is a flame-free pipe jointing solution that is quick and easy to install, providing significant advantages over traditional brazing.

The range of fittings are specially engineered to withstand the higher operating pressures, up to 48 bar, that ACR applications require and are suitable for continuous operating at temperatures between -40oC and +121oC. Conex Bänninger also recommends the use of a ROTHENBERGER press tool and >B< MaxiPro jaws for all press installations.

Frank Zielke, Business Unit Director for Central Europe, said: “Chillventa is the ideal platform to showcase our innovative >B< MaxiPro solution, which is taking the ACR sector by storm since it was launched last year. We are looking forward to welcoming visitors to our stand and having the opportunity to highlight the range of solutions we can provide that can add value to ACR system applications.”

Also on stand will be K65, the tube and fittings system developed in partnership with Wieland in response to the use of CO2 R744 as an environmentally friendly refrigerant for high pressure commercial applications, such as supermarkets, office blocks and high rise apartments.
