E128 (440x308)

The E128 stainless steel oval manway is a model that is installed in the side wall of the tank, and its cover opens inwards. Therefore, when the manway is closed and the tank is filled, the pressure of the liquid contributes to its sealing.

The cover of the manway is placed on a solid hinge and a flat arm that guarantees stability when opening, and closing the manway. The wide opening, on the other hand, makes it possible to perform service work, as well as inspect the inside of the tank. 

Elliptical manway type E128 is used in a wide range of stainless steel tanks, which undoubtedly makes it extremely useful in:

• food industry,
• dairy industry,
• beverage and concentrate production,
• cosmetics industry,
• chemical and biotechnology industries.

In addition, the E128 type manway is successfully used in brewing, distilling, as well as in all types of applications requiring the maintenance of increased corrosion resistance.

When planning to use an E128 oval manway in a specific working environment, it is important to recognize in detail the factors that affect the proper operation of the manway before making a final choice. Among the most important are:

• pressure (working and test),
• temperature (operating and maximum).

It is also necessary to keep in mind the physical and chemical characteristics of the working medium with which the manway parts will come into direct contact. It is essential to make sure of the chemical resistance of the materials used in the construction of the manway - both stainless steel and polymers from which gaskets are manufactured.
