Expertise for Critical Aerospace Applications
In space infrastructure, reliable valves are indispensable for successful rocket launches. Propellant supply during the launch phase takes place within minutes, where tight planning leaves no room for the unexpected. The rocket requires hydrogen as propellant, oxygen as oxidizer, and helium and nitrogen as inert gases for instrumentation and pressure equalization.

Under Time Pressure
When refueling space rockets, cryogenic gases such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and helium must be handled precisely and safely. WEKA high-pressure valves ensure stable control and switching behavior even with large volume flows—crucial for the smooth running of time-critical launch preparations.

An uncompromising quality standard for materials and engineering is WEKA's trademark. Comprehensive final inspections ensure, in addition to requirements for purity and component processing, proof of highest safety, maximum efficiency, and absolute reliability.

Our aerospace propellant launch pad solutions have been successfully deployed in international space projects. Long-standing experience in critical applications makes us the optimal partner for future aerospace projects.

Since tightness and safety in propellant systems are of utmost importance, all WEKA components meet highest safety standards and undergo comprehensive testing. Special materials and surface treatments ensure long-term reliability under extreme conditions.
