The BEKAPLAST system uses conical anchor studs on the reverse of the plate, which create a permanent mechanical connection between the plastic lining and concrete.
Specialist plastics engineering services
Steuler KCH constructs plant and components from technical plastics, using its industry-related skillset and experience to help its clients meet their facility and processing technologies requirements.
The company advises clients on selecting the right material and on its suitability for specific applications, ensuring the best plant design, using state-of-the-art manufacturing processes to turn individual plans into reality, from the first idea to the final product.
Steuler KCH manufactures a wide range of products, including:
- Duroplastic materials made from unsaturated polyester or vinylester resins, which are reinforced with E-glass (alkali-free textile glass), and carbon or synthetic fibres
- Fibreglass-reinforced piping and tank with chemically protective coatings or thermoplastic inner liners
- Mechanically anchored thermoplastic linings for basins, tubs, sewage piping systems, shafts and processing tanks
- Polypropylene nozzle level and linings
- Thermoplastic and duroplastic composites and customised structures
- Thermoplastic materials: polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyvinylchloride (PVC), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and special grades
- Wet electrostatic filter components and casing

Plastic internals for wet electrostatic precipitators are used wherever aerosols (e.g. H2SO4, SO3, TiO2 and tar) and fine dusts have to be separated from discharges with a high degree of efficiency.
Plant modernisation and optimisation
Steuler KCH specialises in the renovation and general improvement of existing plants, covering full and partial replacement of acid-proof lining and refractory lining systems, the dismantling and re-assembly of scrubbers and pipework, as well as retrofitting spray nozzle arrays and piping in flue gas scrubber installations.
We also offer a full concrete repair and rehabilitation service for areas that are to be subsequently protected with industrial corrosion lining systems.
The company offers on-site installation and assembly, personnel who can monitor work at the site and, if necessary, training to plant workers. Comprehensive customer support is always available throughout the project.
Steuler KCH’s quality assurance meets the demands of worldwide standards throughout the manufacturing process, starting from raw materials to finished components. Appropriate testing is carried out at all stages of every project to ensure both safety and quality.
