BUTTING – Vessel construction

BUTTING produces vessels either in several pieces or in one piece according to customers' drawings and specifications. The production in one piece is possible due to the extensive prefabrication possibilities available at BUTTING, providing not only higher quality but also quite obvious cost savings. Vessels having a height of 16 m and a diameter of up to 6,000 mm can be produced in one piece. An installed vessel production line furnished with the latest tools and testing procedures guarantees an optimum production process.

For decades many industrial sectors have been relying on BUTTING vessels produced to varying requirements. High profile projects in the paper and pulp industry are furnished with BUTTING vessels. In 2007 BUTTING Anlagenbau won the most comprehensive order for large vessels from an enterprise of the paper and pulp industry located in Plattling/Bavaria. We prefabricated, delivered and installed a total of 18 external, to some extent clad vessels, made from around 1,000 t of stainless steel. The two largest vessels with a height of 35 m each have a volume of 4,000 m³ each.

At the Rio Uruguay, the border river to Argentina, one of the largest pulp plants of South America has been built within two years. The concern Metsä-Botnia entrusted BUTTING Anlagenbau not only to deliver the pipes but also to produce vessels with a total weight of more than 3,500 t. We produced, delivered and installed 53 internal vessels.

With our recent production capacities and the experience gathered over many years in the production and installation of vessels and piping systems, there is not much left we cannot do for our customers. We would be pleased to support you on your next project.
