ADAMS \u2013 the inventor of the triple-eccentric metallic sealing system<\/h3>\n

Karl Adams pursued a unique concept with his idea of a highly versatile valve. Particularly in the case of metallic seals, it was to set new standards in terms of tightness, service life and range of uses. The resourceful company founder was able to implement this idea by means of gradually improving on the original valve technology to arrive at the triple-eccentric sealing system. The current technology enables the valve to move into its final sealing position without friction.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Innovations: successful investments in the future<\/h3>\n

Throughout the 60-year development of the company, one principle has always remained: the ingenuity with which Karl Adams started the company. Only a few years after registering its first patent, the company patented further innovations, such as the metallic seal for valves. The following years saw the constant development of new products and the enhancement of details that led to a great number of additional patents. This innovative power was constantly underpinned by far-sighted investment decisions in state-of-the-art research and production methods.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\u201cWhen I registered the first patent for the triple-eccentric sealing system in 1960, I was convinced it would provide the impetus for opening up a new market. I am pleased to confirm that my conviction was well founded and we were able to convince the sceptics of the time. Our company has always been one step ahead of the competition in the fi eld of valves. We plan and develop products that others often do not believe to be feasible. It is not easy to live up to such high expectations but it is an exciting challenge.\u201d\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
