We can also produce surge vessel bladders in EPDM, Polyurethane and Polypropylene if required.

All of our bladders are air tested and supplied with a test report and certificate of conformity, giving our customers peace of mind that the product has been manufactured to the highest standards by skilled technicians.

Our Engineers are on hand to use their extensive experience to provide guidance on ensuring that the Surge Vessel Bladder that we offer is appropriate for your system.

Our class leading manufacturing operation will provide you with an unrivalled manufacturing lead time of 2 weeks from receipt of order – for system breakdowns we can also offer to put on an additional shift to manufacture the bladder tank within 72 hours from receipt of order.
