Under the ReCoTec® (Reinhausen Composite Technology) brand name, we manufacture hollow composite insulators with silicone shielding based on our ROTAFIL® cylinders. They offer a number of advantages compared to conventional porcelain insulators. They are substantially lighter, extremely durable and earthquake-resistant. They maintain their water-repellent characteristics, and thus their excellent insulating properties, even under heavily fouled conditions. In the event of failure or external damage, they are explosion-proof and do not scatter hazardous parts. Our innovations, such as conical ReCoTec® insulators, ReCoTec® with integrated fiber-optic cables and ReCoTec® with flanges made of FRP material, help our customers expand and secure their market leadership.
Primary advantages of composite insulators:
|
HYDROPHOBIC |
Outstanding insulation performance |
LIGHT |
Up to 40% less weight |
FLEXIBLE |
Superior earthquake resistance |
LEAK PROOF |
Gas-tight connection |
SAFE |
No dangerous shivers in case of damage/vandalism |
FAST |
Significantly shorter production times |
VARIABLE |
Mechanical properties are adjustable in a wide range |
EASY |
On-site repair of damaged sheds is possible |
GREEN |
Less CO2 consumed during production & life time |
Primary advantages of ReCoTec® insulators:
|
Elaborated Shedprofil |
Undercut, shed spacing varies to avoid ‘bridging’ |
