Competencies

Our competences include the production of standard products as well as the development and production of custom-made products. We cover the entire process: from planning to support. With our modern machinery, we can implement all the necessary processes for the in-house production of dip tubes and adapters – from the manufacturing of the most sophisticated adapter architectures on our CNC machines to tube extrusion in the production of dip tubes.

We also manufacture our own flare components or reamer made of high-purity plastic, essential connecting elements for plant and apparatus engineering. In addition to CNC centers and extruders, we also use high-precision machining technology in product manufacturing.

We will be happy to advise you in a well-founded and professional manner on which products are the best choice for your needs – and we will also develop individual special solutions for your systems at any time.

In 1994, together with the company Riedel-de-Haën (today Honeywell Specialty Chemicals Seelze GmbH), we developed the successful Quick Connect System, which is considered the benchmark in the semiconductor and chemical industry. We are proud to have been involved in its development and to have played a major role in ensuring that this system is still being used successfully today.

Since then, we have continuously improved and expanded it. We thus stand for the “original” in terms of the Quick Connect system – even if, for strategic business reasons on the part of Riedel-de-Haën, a second supplier was later qualified to supply and market the patented Quick Connect dip tubes. After the patents expired, we commissioned our own tools to manufacture the Quick Connect adapters S56x4, S62x5, as well as S70x6. The tools were made by the same manufacturer who already made the old tools. Our adapters are made using pointing technology on these improved tools. Since 2020, the new adapters have been in circulation without any abnormalities after extensive testing, including drop tests at BAM.

In our factory in Adenbüttel, we produce high-quality dip tubes on our modern production line – from standard models to special designs. We offer dip tubes with adapters made of stable, durable plastics.

Our dip tubes have been used for decades for the material testing upon arrival of XLSI drums at a well-known chemical manufacturer.

Direct leach-out comparisons between KTJ’s dip tubes and conventional dip tubes show a five to ten times better purity level in our product. Thus, in terms of metallic impurities, they are almost identical to the PFA dip tubes of a major US manufacturer.

Since 2020, our dip tubes have been equipped with matching in-house adapters, which can be easily combined with existing Quick Connect dispense and filling heads from third-party suppliers. Small technical changes in the injection mould also make them technically superior to the old adapters.

Our claim to be better than the broad market is proven, among other things, by the leach-out tests mentioned above. With our own dip tube production in an extrusion line under clean room conditions, we guarantee compliance with the highest degrees of purity. This is of great advantage to you because the dip tubes are in constant contact with the media in the packaging materials and offer the largest potential surface for contamination. Since all steps from production to packaging of the dip tubes are carried out under clean room conditions, we have never had any negative feedback or complaints in the past. We also manufacture the bellows in our own production. Our own pipe extrusion allows us to keep quality requirements consistently high. This allows us to respond quickly and easily to individual customer wishes.

Our Quick Connect adapters are technically superior to older adapters, e.g. due to optimised injection points and better cooling. The process-relevant geometries are naturally matched to the older adapters so that there are no problems in the application.

We can only install an RFID chip for tracking purposes, without a cloud connection. Our RFID is installed in the approved adapter without machining. This solution is ideal for all users who are satisfied with pin-hole coding and do not want to have their own process control controlled by an externally hosted cloud. This also avoids that sensitive data about quantities, origin and qualities of the own components are stored together with the data of competitors.
