About Schwabe-SRA
Dietrich Schwabe Gesellschaft für Steuer-Regel-Armaturentechnik mbH (Schwabe-SRA), headquartered in Eppertshausen, is a subsidiary of KINETROL Ltd., founded in 1958, and specializes in application-specific product selection as well as the assembly of valve combinations. The portfolio includes pneumatic rack and pinion actuators (KINETROL) with torques from 0.1 to 40,765 Nm, positioners, limit switch modules, rotary dampers, ADLER ball valves (DN 06 to DN 300, PN 6 to 160, ANSI 150 to 900) and SRA butterfly valves (DN 40 to DN 1200). In its own workshop, valves are assembled and tested, including leak testing in accordance with EN 12266-1 and switching times of under one second. In addition, the company offers design and simulation, procurement of third-party valves, a warehouse center, a repair and service department, and customer-specific system solutions. Customers come from industries such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food, energy, cement, steel, paper, and mechanical and plant engineering.
