With the world’s leading manufacturer of plastic piping systems, Wavin plastic pipe systems & solutions, we have implemented a project for the production of low-capacity Drop weight tester series DP.2, which will be the current testing laboratory of the production plant in the Czech Republic.

The Drop weight testing machine DPFest 250-2 with nominal energy 250J is used to test the impact resistance of plastic pipes according to DIN UNE EN 744, ISO 3127, EN 1411 and ASTM D2444 standards. The machine is equipped with a number of test strikers by additional test weights and special conical fixtures, which allows a wide range and variation of tests according to different types of plastic pipe diameter. A temperature chamber is also incorporated in the machine frame, capable of temperature adapting the test environment and the tested piping according to the required temperatures.

We bring our many years of experience to your ambitious projects …

As part of the complexity of testing this type of plastic pipe, as set by the standards, it was necessary to equip the machine with another external temperature chamber, in order to achieve maximum authenticity by simulating sudden changes in temperature of test specimens (tested pipe).

High and user-friendly operator comfort meeting all safety regulations …

IN LABORTECH WE HAVE DECIDED TO GO WITH THE GREEN WAY

In the process of continuous improvement, we do not only focus on continuous improvement of our machines and equipment, but we also place great emphasis on ensuring that our production and activities related not only to production have the least possible impact on the environment, so we decided to enter the process. certification so that we can be the official holders of a certificate regulating the environmental management system (EMS) as soon as possible.

It is important for us to maintain the integrity of the ecosystem, which is affected daily by external human influences. That is why our company is very proud of this step towards saving the environment and improving the restoration of the ecosystem.

LABORTECH TEAM

As of September 1, 2020, Ing. Libor Klimpar became the COO of LABORTECH s.r.o., who will continue to be responsible for the operation directing and management of the company, strategy-making, policy making to meet the stated goals. Our successful, dynamically developing team will be strengthened by experience from the international environment of engineering companies, where he worked in the areas of business, service, maintenance, assembly and project management.

Interview with the new CEO of LABORTECH s. r. o.

Mr. Klimpar, what are your first impressions?

It is especially an honor for me to be able to work for such a highly developed technology company and participate in its further development. Thanks to the successful development of a unique technically biaxial machine, we are one of the three world leaders in the test machine market. I feel that mutual openness, cooperation and flexibility are important for the LABORTECH team. Everyone contributes to our development with their work and has a desire to constantly improve and find new solutions.

How does the current situation affect the stability of company?

We are a strong, healthy Czech family company, with a comprehensive portfolio of products, with our own development. We also have a wide range of services.

Thanks to the foresight of Mr. Dušek, owner and company director, we have invested to the promoting of our company, which brings us fruit in the form of orders from around the world and more than 20 industries.

I have to highlight and greatly appreciate the work of foreign partners, supported by our sales team. They successfully sell our products and they support our growth even in today’s difficult times.

 

Where do you see the future of LABORTECH?

Everywhere in the world. I believe, and our results suggest that even a small Czech company can conquer the world. I believe in our future, because “Every small detail matters” is, by the way, the new motto of our company and it is precisely the details in which we try to excel.

And word at the end?

Thank you and I wish all of us, our colleagues, partners, customers and their families, to overcome the difficulties of today together and in good health.

 

LABORTECH TEAM

As part of a project for the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Architecture and Environmental Engineering of the Lodz University in Poland, we realized the production of the LabTest 6.600 E.3 machine. Thanks to the typology of the tested material and the conditions for testing, we have made several innovative modifications to this machine. One of the most significant modifications of the device, in addition to the raised frame, is the possibility of testing composite materials, namely fiberglass concrete reinforcements. For this reason, we created enlarged inserts for the grips with increased frictional force in the bearing surface, and therefore it was necessary to make more robust hydraulic grips with side pressure.

Since the clamping of fiberglass reinforcements is a very specific discipline, so thanks to many years of experience in this field with our engineers, we have developed a method combining 3 factors:

• Creation of special grips with inserts
• Automatically controlled pressure in the grips
• developing a specific clamping surface on the hydraulic grips

Modified hydraulic grips also offer the possibility of attaching other accessories to the grips, such as accessories for 3 and 4 point bending, without the need to disassemble them.
