Center fixation for stability over long lengths

As greenhouses become longer, the length of the pipe rail runs also increases. Heating pipes expand and contract due to temperature differences. With long pipe rail runs, this effect can cause significant shifts.

Center fixation does not stand alone. The tube rail supports hold up the heating pipes, baywide support helps align the pipe rail paths across the width of the roof, and center fixation provides a fixed point along the length of the path. At the start of the track, head piece guides ensure proper connection to the concrete track.

By coordinating these components, a reliable tubular rail system is created that fits the dimensions and layout of the greenhouse.

 

Specifications

With center fixation, the pipe rail is secured to a fixed point halfway along the run. This allows the heating pipes to expand and contract from the center toward both ends. As a result, the thermal expansion of the pipes is better distributed along the pipe rail run, preventing all expansion from being concentrated on one side.

Application
For securing long tubular rail tracks to a fixed point halfway along the track


Operation
Distributes the length change of the heating tube from the center across both sides of the tube rail track


Positioning
Is installed halfway along the tubular rail path as a fixed anchor point


Alignment
Helps maintain the position of long tubular rail tracks despite temperature fluctuations


Applicability
Suitable for long tubular rail tracks in new construction and renovation projects


System
To be used in combination with tube rail supports, baywide supports, and head piece guides

Every greenhouse requires a different approach.

Our specialists will be happy to advise you on the right components and configuration for your tubular rail system.
