Herentals, July 24, 2009 – In 2005, Fike introduced the Axius reverse-acting bursting disc, representing a revolutionary advance in high performance pressure relief technology. Since then Fike has continued to expand Axius capabilities by offering higher burst pressures, a sanitary version, and now a range of larger sizes. Axius is designed to be used in aggressive chemical, pharmaceutical and sanitary applications, and typically outperforms all other types of bursting discs in these difficult applications.
Axius bursting discs are unique because they have no score lines, no stress zones that can fatigue, and a completely smooth process side. Fike’s proprietary technology enables these discs to have the tightest tolerances available, along with superior cycling performance. Axius discs can also be used in conjunction with other critical pressure relief devices to maximize or extend their service life.
“Axius technology produces extremely reliable, high performance bursting discs, and we are excited to now offer an even broader product line to our customers”, said Chuck Kopoulos, Fike Executive VP of Operations. “We know of many applications where Axius solved a problem that could not be solved by a bursting disc from any other company. Now, with these larger sizes, Axius can be used to solve even more challenging situations. Fike will continue to invest in development of Axius technology and will continue to introduce more Axius bursting discs to the global market.”
