Energy
Metal Bellows began supporting the energy markets when high altitude air monitoring became part of the NOAA charter. At nearly the same time stack gas analysis was implemented by the government to ascertain that industrial manufacturers were controlling the airborne factory effluents. Metal Bellow pumps are ideal for these applications and the company continues to participate in the improvements in energy exploration and control.
Solar
Leading edge Solar panel manufacturers are using Metal Bellows vacuum components to create the newest, most efficient solar panels. The manufacturing processes and equipment for Solar panels are very much like those in the Semiconductor Equipment industry where Metal Bellows has a successful reputation. Thin films are layered on a suitable substrate utilizing a variety of coating techniques which are completed within vacuum process chambers. Senior Aerospace Metal Bellows continues to offer the ideal combination of proven expertise and innovative thinking to deliver cutting-edge solutions that perform exactly as designed.
Nuclear
Nuclear containment facilities require that all potential radioactive gas streams be monitored for contamination. Metal Bellows manufacturers double containment pumps which are an integral part of the safeguard system that samples these gas streams on a continuous basis and triggers alarms if the system is breached. The Nuclear market values metallic interfaces for gas flows since elastomers and plastics are susceptible to radioactive breakdown. Radioactive tritium and SF6 gas pumping require the gas flow path to be as inert as possible as provided by Metal Bellows pumps.
Gas & Oil
Metal Bellows continues to participate in the improvements in the energy exploration market. Advances in Oil and Gas drilling have required special accumulators to be a part of the drilling tools, protecting the electronic controls and sensors from the mud and high temperatures. Metal Bellows works with leading global oil exploration companies to develop new bellows components designed to withstand the harsh environments of high temperatures and caustic chemicals underground.
