REMBE release IKB reverse acting rupture disc
REMBE® rupture discs are different! And so it is with the newest member of the REMBE® Rupture Disc offering, the single layer IKB Reverse Acting Rupture Disc.
The original form of the single-layered reverse acting rupture disc was developed more than thirty years ago based on the principle of mechanical scoring.
Twenty-five years ago, REMBE® decided on a different route when it introduced the KUB Rupture Disc since traditional scoring technology wasn’t the best solution for many applications.
Building on their long-standing KUB Rupture Disc technology, REMBE® now specializes in Laser-Sublimation and IP-Technology. Both of these processes provide the foundation for the advanced IKB Reverse Acting Bursting Disc.
Based on sublimation technology, material transition from a solid to gaseous condition, the opening characteristics and the relief area of the IKB bursting disc are pre-defined. The rupture disc’s material characteristics and its microstructural properties are not altered and the IKB does not fragment.
Through the patented IP-process, kinetic energy is “stored“ in the IKB rupture disc. When the burst pressure is reached, IKB transforms this energy and instantaneously gives full bore opening as the energy is released. This technology allows for a REMBE® rupture disc that entirely eliminates the need for pre-weakened scores or space-consuming downstream knives, resulting in extreme reliability and durability.
The IKB can be deployed in sterile applications within the food industry and biotechnology, in pressurized facilities in the pharmaceutical industry and in process equipment found in the chemical and petrochemical industry.
