About Schwaben-Kunststoff
Schwaben-Kunststoff Chemietank- und Apparatebau GmbH & Co. KG is an owner-managed company founded in 1969 and headquartered in Langenneufnach near Augsburg. The company manufactures storage tanks, process vessels, tank systems, apparatus, pipework, filling cabinets, syphon lines, filling stations and IBC dosing stations from thermoplastics such as PE-100, PE-HD, PP, PVC and PVDF. The vessels are produced as spirally wound cylindrical shells (wound pipe, 1,5 to 3,5 m diameter) or from welded sheet material; vessel sizes range from 500 litres to 200 000 litres. Services include engineering with CAD design and structural calculations, logistics, installation and commissioning. The storage tanks have building-authority approval (DIBt approvals) and are inspected by internal and external monitoring by TÜV Süd. Fields of application include chemical distribution, the semiconductor industry, automotive engineering, AdBlue tank systems, wastewater treatment plants, the food, paper and pharmaceutical industries as well as water treatment.
