SchuF is the inventor of the Disc Bottom Outlet category of valves (Patents received in 1923 and 1926). They are widely used in the Petrochemical, Pharmaceutical, Fine Chemicals, Biochemical, Coal, and Aluminium industries.
The valves are most commonly used for the dead space free draining and feeding of vessels, reactors and pipelines. Disc Bottom Outlet Valves are especially suited to low viscosity materials, or where slower vessel drainage is unproblematic.
