Hiline is an extensive range of standard pre-insulated pipes and fittings which are manufactured in various service pipe materials. The components can be pre-fabricated and pre-insulated to client specification. Options available include Hiline Steel, Flex, Aqua and Process.
Laboratory Drainage – CPV Zurn
Manufactured from block copolymer polypropylene, CPV Zurn can withstand temperatures from -20 degrees C to +110 degrees C and is resistant to most organic and mineral acids, alkalis, alcohols and salt solutions. This system is an ideal choice for chemical and corrosive waste drainage systems and is widely specified for schools, universities, hospitals and research facilities.
Chemical Drainage – CPV Floway
The Floway system comprises of pipes, moulded fittings, fabricated fittings, access chambers, manways, gullies, neutralisation tanks, dilution chambers and channels and is also available as dual containment piping. The system offers incredible physical, chemical and thermal properties and is manufactured from high modulus polypropylene. Floway is used by many industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, hospitals, water treatment, food, hydrometallurgical, nuclear, paper and pulp and metal plating.
Dual Contained Pipes – CPV Safeflo
The Safeflo pipe systems provide secondary containment pipes around the carrier pipe, so that in the event of a leakage, the carrier pipe will safely contain the fluid. Manufactured from high modulus polypropylene and electro-fused joints, Safeflo provides an abuse resistant solution for the containment of service pipes carrying hazardous and high temperature fluids such as acids, solvents and fuel oils.
Process Pressure Pipes – CPV Chemflo
The Chemflo range of pressure piping products provides incredible chemical resistance and operational temperature ranges of between -40 and +140 degrees centigrade. Chemflo is the leading choice for the safe drainage of pressurised hazardous chemicals.
Thermoplastic Tanks - CPV Bulk
The CPV Bulk tanks are made to specific requirements in various thermoplastic materials and are used for the safe containment of media, e.g. Chemical Storage Tanks. The tanks are of rectangular or special shaped construction, as required and are used by many industries including food process, pharmaceutical and chemical and by manufacturing and building services for a wide range of applications.
Extrusions and Fabrications – CPV Custom
CPV has the capability to extrude, injection mould and fabricate a wide range of thermoplastic materials such as polypropylene, polyethylene, ABS and PVDF to exact specification. Tubular and profiled sections can be extruded in diameters of between 10 and 500mm with wall thicknesses of between 1 and 50mm. Products include race railings, filter beds, tree guards, roller sleeves, tape spools, filter housings, spray nozzles, paper cores, cheese production tubes, heat exchangers, gas pipe sleeves, floating booms and fenders, sprinklers and much more.
Solar Panels for Heating Pools – Suncell
Suncell solar panels have been developed to heat swimming pools. The panels use free energy from the sun to heat the water and are accredited products which qualify for the government Clear Skies renewable energy grants.
