Fluid, filter and plastics technology (www.industrial-production.de)

Between laboratory and industry

From a supplier of biochemical products to a broad-based specialist for fluid, filter and plastics technology: Dr. Peter Reichelt, Managing Director of RCT Reichelt Chemietechnik in Heidelberg, explains in an interview how the product range, sales and market requirements have changed over almost five decades.

Many types for different applications

Knives, spatulas, tweezers and other laboratory cutlery are special tools. These instruments are used in a wide range of applications, from biology and chemistry to materials science.

Wide range for many applications

RCT Reichelt Chemietechnik's product range includes more than 80,000 different items for laboratory and chemical technology, mechanical engineering, the food industry and medical technology.

Knives and scalpels for laboratory and production

Knives, spatulas, tweezers and other laboratory cutlery occupy a special place among the tools. These instruments are used in a wide range of applications, from biology and chemistry to materials science.

Soft and hard hoses in color overview

RCT Reichelt Chemietechnik's product range includes more than 80,000 different items for laboratory and chemical technology, mechanical engineering, the food industry and medical technology. These include a wide variety of hoses, hose connectors, adapters, taps and valves.

Thermoplastic elastomers

Plastics are usually divided into three classes according to their mechanical and thermal properties and the underlying polymer structure: thermoplastics, elastomers and thermosets. However, there is another representative that falls between the first two classes: thermoplastic elastomers (TPE).

Antistatic against electrical discharges

Sensitive electronic components can be negatively affected by even very weak electrostatic discharges.

Although electrostatic discharges are unpleasant in everyday life, they are rarely a problem.

Application and limit values

What are the RoHS directives and what is their aim? Behind this are the EU directives 2011/65/EU and 2002/95/EC, which are known as the "Restriction of Hazardous Substances", or RoHS for short.

The difference to delivery hoses

Whether for protection against the weather, mechanical stresses or for thermal and electrical insulation: protective conduits are used in numerous designs.

Fluorosilicone rubber hoses

Reichelt Chemietechnik now offers hoses that are made of fluorosilicone rubber and are therefore particularly suitable for fuels and mineral oils.

High-performance plastics for extreme conditions

Polyetherketones are modern high-performance plastics that are particularly resilient and temperature-resistant.

Plastics processing in the industry

Plastics have become an integral part of our everyday lives. Due to the numerous starting materials and their properties as well as the very different end products, there are correspondingly different processes for the industrial processing of polymer materials.

Opening doors without risk of infection

Reichelt Chemietechnik aims to reduce the risk of coronavirus infection in the workplace with its new hygienic door opener.

Hygiene for hoses and pipes

Tri-Clamp connectors can be found wherever fluid media are conveyed, especially in sensitive areas such as the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries.

"Distribution of small quantities"

Dr. Peter Reichelt is the founder and Managing Director of Reichelt Chemietechnik GmbH & Co. in Heidelberg. The company's product range includes pumps, hose connectors and hoses for laboratory requirements as well as for industry. Andreas Mühlbauer spoke to Peter Reichelt about how the company is equipping itself to meet the demands of today's industrial environment.

Barrier properties of plastics

Permeability is the ability of a material to allow liquid or gaseous media to pass through it. In the case of plastics, the requirements for this property vary depending on the area of application.

Precise delivery with piston pumps

The delivery rate of piston pumps can be precisely adjusted. This makes the flexible devices suitable for many applications, from the finest dosing to large flow rates in industry. This also includes wobble piston pumps from Reichelt Chemietechnik.

Machine hoses for laboratory and operation

Reichelt Chemietechnik offers machine hoses without liners for different areas of application. The differences between the individual hoses lie in the chemical resistance and the material properties, which are expressed in the respective Shore hardness.
