About Armaturen-Wolff
ARMATUREN-WOLFF Friedrich H. Wolff GmbH & Co. KG is a Hamburg family business founded in 1945, now in its third generation, manufacturing industrial valves and system technology. The portfolio comprises quick-closing and quick-opening valves (emergency shut-off valves) in straight and angle patterns, electric quick-closing valve systems (FSV AkkuTEC II), valve chests with automated flow control, seawater filter technology and tramistec® flexible remote control rods (reach rods). Production takes place in the company's own manufacturing facility at headquarters Oehleckerring 29 in Hamburg, including electronically controlled machines and CNC technology; design is carried out with AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor 3D. Materials include brass/bronze castings (e.g. CC491K, G-CuSnZnPb), cast steel (GP240GH, GS-C25), spheroidal graphite cast iron (EN-GJS-400-18U-LT), stainless steels (1.4408, 1.4301, 1.4571, 1.4021) as well as sealing materials such as FKM/Viton. The company supplies the maritime industry including mega-yachts, offshore, cruise ships, the chemical and land-based process industries, dredging and port construction as well as power plant and oil/gas systems. Typical nominal sizes range from DN 15 to DN 250 at pressures up to PN 40. With a branch in Pune (India) and international representations, delivery takes place worldwide.
