Steam traps are essential components in steam systems to drain condensate efficiently and safely. They prevent energy losses, protect systems from water hammer and ensure trouble-free operation. Armaturenfabrik offers a wide range of thermal and float-controlled steam traps that offer the highest quality and reliability.
Thermal steam traps are the ideal solution for applications where the amount of condensate fluctuates greatly and high temperatures occur. They are temperature-dependent and use the physical properties of steam and condensate to precisely control the drainage process. These traps are particularly compact, easy to maintain and suitable for use in steam pipes, heating processes and drainage of saturated and superheated steam.

| Special feature | Bimetal regulator, robust design | For high pressure applications | Diaphragm regulator, ATEX option | Thermodynamic, compact | Female thread, high compressive strength | Capsule technology, automatic venting |
Float-controlled steam traps are the first choice for applications with large condensate volumes and low differential pressures. They work independently of the back pressure and ensure continuous and jam-free drainage. Thanks to their robust design and automatic venting, they are particularly reliable and durable.

Steam traps are much more than just drainage fittings – they are indispensable functional elements in modern steam, energy and process systems. In SKID systems, they are responsible for the safe, efficient and load-dependent drainage of condensate, thus ensuring trouble-free operation, constant energy efficiency and the protection of sensitive components.
Especially in compact, modular system packages, steam traps must work reliably, handle different pressures and temperatures and be flexibly integrated into any installation situation.
Our steam traps – including thermal versions with diaphragm regulators such as the MK45 from GESTRA – are used as integral system components in SKID and process plant construction and ensure maximum operational reliability even under demanding conditions.
They prevent energy losses, protect against water hammers and ensure the operation of steam systems.
Thermal traps are suitable for alternating loads, floating traps for large amounts of condensate.
