Precision and Process Reliability for Process Engineering
Process engineering is a diverse field that forms the foundation for the safe, efficient, and sustainable processing of raw materials into high-quality products. Laboratories often provide the essential data upon which industrial manufacturing steps—such as size reduction, conveying, distillation, drying, separation, reaction, and actual production—are built. These insights frequently serve as the basis for sophisticated industrial processes requiring machinery and systems that are perfectly coordinated, robust, and reliable.
In sectors such as chemicals, petrochemicals, plastics, food processing, and environmental technology—as well as the steel, construction materials, cement, recycling, paper, and pulp industries—innovative technologies combined with practical machinery and plant engineering ensure reliable, future-oriented production processes. To this end, JAKOB supplies drive, clamping, and vacuum technology designed to meet the specific demands of process engineering applications and systems.
High-Performance Drive Technology
Servo and safety couplings from JAKOB ensure absolutely reliable, backlash-free torque transmission, thereby enabling maximum process stability. Depending on requirements, torsionally rigid, vibration-damping, or torque-limiting variants are available—ideal for agitators, mixing units, dosing systems, extruders, or pumps used in chemical and thermal processes.
Furthermore, corrosion-resistant stainless steel couplings meet the strict hygiene and durability standards of the pharmaceutical, food, chemical, and biotechnology industries.
ATEX-certified couplings are available for applications involving potentially explosive atmospheres caused by gases, vapors, mists, or dusts. They ensure safe and reliable operation within defined ATEX zones.
Efficient and Safe Clamping Technology
In process engineering, mechanical clamping nuts ensure fast, safe, and controlled bolted connections on vessels, reactors, or maintenance units. Requiring no special tools and providing defined preload force, they facilitate easy maintenance, enhance operational safety, and optimize the entire setup process.
Versatile Vacuum Technology
For process engineering applications operating under vacuum—such as drying, distillation, coating, or analysis—JAKOB supplies a comprehensive portfolio of high-vacuum and ultra-high-vacuum components compliant with KF, ISO-K, and CF standards. In addition to standardized parts, custom designs are available upon request. The product range is complemented by valves, gas locks, adsorption and cold traps, and numerous other components that ensure superior leak-tightness and process continuity.
Applications range from chemical and pharmaceutical production, environmental and energy technology, to research laboratories and process development.
