IT IS SOLID AND RESISTANT TO DEFORMATION AND STRENGTH È SOLIDO E RESISTENTE ALLA DEFORMAZIONE E ALLA ROTTURA External size Dimensioni esterne KIO is fabricated in accordance to EN 124 (1994). In load testing, when deliberately stressed KIO lids will return to their initial shape and form. The same tests with extreme load show that cast-iron covers break, whereas KIO products will move but do not fail, and continue to function effectively. KIO è prodotto in conformità alla normativa EN 124 (1994). Sottoponendo KIO alla prova di carico, questo si deforma, ma alla ne del test ritorna automaticamente...

LIGHTNESS FIND HRNDINESS Kio composite covers are 70% lighter than European made cast iron co Thanks to their low weight they are easy to handle and to install, which means cost savings in both labour and plant, in addition to potential reductions in injuries during Installation and maintenance. The low weight also reflects into a considerable reduction in transport costs. II peso di KIO e di circa il 70% inferiore a quello dei chiusini in ghisa di produzione europea. La leggerezza di KIO rende piu agevoli e sicure le operazioni di posa nei cantieri, con un grande risparmio di manodopera e di...

ELECTRIC INSULATION É ISOLANTE KIO is particularly suitable for installation on pedestrian thoroughfares. Kinext TM is Non-Conductive, so KIO Products protect pedestrians against voltage dispersion, especially in moist and wet environments. KIO è particolarmente adatto per l’installazione nelle aree pedonali. Kinext™ non è conduttore di elettricità, quindi KIO protegge i pedoni da eventuali ali dispersioni di tensione, soprattutto in ambienti umidi o bagnati.

the Kinext manhole cover NOISE REDUCTION RIDUCE I RUMORI Kio greatly reduces noise pollution, Kinext TM,is lower density than cast iron, and deadens the noise and disturbance caused by vehicles driving over installed covers. The Kinext TM material and optional sealing system available on Kio products is effective in preventing the dispersion of odours from manway chambers. KIO riduce notevolmente l’inquinamento acustico. Kinext™ attutisce i rumori e i disturbi causati dal transito dei veicoli sulla supercie stradale. Kinext™ e il sistema di guarnizioni che accompagna l’installazione di KIO sono...

RESISTANCE TO CORROSION RESISTE ALLA CORROSIONE Kinext™ is resistant to chemicals and is not subject to rust and corrosion caused by constant exposure to atmospheric agents. For this reason KIO never needs to be re-painted, and products are particularly suitable in areas with flammable liquids such as fuel filling stations and storage plants, significantly reducing the risk of ignition from sparks over ferrous materials. Kinext™ è resistente all’attacco di agenti chimici: non è soggetto alla ruggine né alla corrosione dovute all’esposizione continua agli agenti atmosferici. Per tali ragioni KIO...

the Kinext manhole cover ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION RISPETTA L’AMBIENTE The manufacturing of KIO manhole covers ensures a remarkable reduction of CO2 emissions compared to cast iron. La produzione e l’installazione del KIO generano un enorme risparmio di risorse rispetto ai tradizionali chiusini in ghisa. This becomes clear when comparing the energy required to reach the temperature to mould cast iron (higher than 1200°C) and the energy required to reach the temperature to mould composite materials (near 70°C). The lower amount of C02 released in the atmosphere is strictly connected with the lower...

the Kinext manhole cover THEFT PREVENTION DISINCENTIVA I FURTI The value of scrap iron is rising and the number of thefts is impacting on costs to local authorities and service companies. We read daily reports of covers being stolen to be sold and recycled for scrap, and besides the economic impact caused by the theft of products, there is also the risk of serious accidents and injuries caused by dangerous openings on the road. Kio products have no scrap value. I chiusini in ghisa vengono spesso rubati per essere rivenduti. Oltre al danno economico per la sostituzione, il furto determina il rischio...
