Stainless steel assembly system (EMS) for frame structures

Smart connection technology as an alternative to welded connections

With its new stainless steel assembly system (EMS), RK Rose+Krieger is expanding its range of stainless steel products to include innovative connection elements for installing industrial frame structures made of square or round tubing in the common size 40. Special clamping technology allows easy, quick and safe assembly and disassembly in just a few simple steps.

The new EMS from RK Rose+Krieger is a clean, uncomplicated alternative to welded tube constructions. The customer receives fully machined connection elements, including innovative clamping technology which can be combined with cut-to-length stainless steel tubes to form any kind of frame or railing.

There are currently five different EMS elements available for delivery, in both round and square tubing versions: corners, T connectors, cross connectors, 3-stream connectors and base elements with adjustable foot connection. In addition to the tapped hole for the adjustable foot, the EMS foot elements have a second hole for the cleaning fluid to drain off.

Each of the EMS elements is supplied with cast stainless steel clamping connectors, which are pushed into the connection pipes and firmly clamped by tightening a screw. This creates a secure connection which, at the same time, can be released at any time. The special clamping technology, which can compensate for tolerances of up to two millimetres, ensures secure four-point contact in both round and square tubes and thus a tightly centred all-round fit.

The new stainless steel assembly system is a particularly sustainable solution, as connection elements and clamping connectors can be combined with any stainless-steel round or square tube with a cross-section of 40x2. In addition, the assembled frames can be dismantled at any time, transported without taking up much space, and re-assembled in another form.

Typical EMS connection applications are frame structures in the food industry, clean rooms and all other industrial environments where stainless steel constructions are an advantage or are desired.

An expansion of the EMS by additional connection elements is being considered.
