With more than 60 years of experience in plastic piping systems, GF Piping Systems supports the battery production and recycling industry's efforts to build the most sustainably managed factories worldwide. Our global teams developed application-oriented plastic piping solutions that are a corrosion-free alternative to traditional metal solutions. High-performance, lightweight thermoplastics, prefabrication capabilities, expertise, and speed of delivery enable performance beyond expectations.
Empowered performance
High-quality, metal-free piping systems manufactured for longevity. Produced in certified production facilities (91% of GF’s production facilities have Environmental Management Systems (EMSs) in place, and most sites are certified to ISO 14001).
Empowered sustainability
Thermoplastic piping systems are up to 60% lighter and emit less CO2 than steel. Environmental Product Declarations help plant designers and engineers to understand the overall environmental impact of piping systems.
Empowered efficiency
Lightweight materials, pre-insulated solutions, easy jointing, and process automation technologies help to reduce operational costs and increase the overall efficiency of media transportation loops.
Empowered installation
Reduced project and operation lead times through fast and easy installation technologies. State-of-the-art jointing technologies such as plug-and-play solutions or electrofusion enable fast, replicable, and reliable installation, even in confined spaces.
Empowered design
3D libraries, engineering support, and off-site prefabrication help tailor the piping systems to each customer’s individual needs for fast and reliable project execution and a long system service life.
Empowered time to market
With a presence in more than 31 countries and 36 production sites, GF Piping Systems ensures project support at every step of the process to achieve construction excellence and reduce time to market.
Everything is connected
GF Piping Systems is committed to enabling the safe and sustainable transport of water, gas, and chemicals, enabling key players in the battery cell production industry to optimize their flow solutions. Sustainably sourced and renewable raw materials, energy-efficient solutions, and innovative jointing and automation technologies support our customers worldwide to reduce their carbon footprint.
Elevate your performance
Plastic pipes can enhance battery cell manufacturing efficiency. Material flow, pressure, and flow rates can be optimized thanks to the smooth inner surface of plastic pipes, and a pre-insulated solution helps to maintain the required temperature. Also, double containment systems and measurement and control devices help improve the wastewater management cycle through an extra layer of protection and constant monitoring of the flow while minimizing environmental impact.
