About Ragasco Cylinder
First time in The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and in the Middle-East to use Ragasco Gas Cylinder. Ragasco Gas Cylinder is a new unique and attr type of LPG transparent composite cylinders used for +++++ng gas, which has significant advantages over traditional steel cylinders. The new technology is based on using reinforcement fibers mixed with resins and adding some chemical additives to reach the final product which is characterized of being light weighted and stronger than steel. Such technology is used by Space agencies for their spaceships. The process of building LPG cylinders is fully automated from raw materials to the finished product. Filament winding is the preferred way to manufacture pressure vessels in composite materials. Using continuous fiber in this reinforcement maximizes strength and optimizes safety with seamless construction in a single unit. All the materials used for the cylinders are well known in many other applications and have proven their durability over decades. Designers and engineers value the materials for their non-corrosive quality and the high strength and stiffness to weight ratio. Ragasco cylinders do not explode in the event of a fire. The heat-proof fiber-glass mesh controls the escape of gas in extreme temperatures to prevent explosion. The unique lightweight composition offers enormous advantages for use by all parties, and in particular employees of gas companies and distributor sites will find lifting the cylinder much easier and safer. Ragasco cylinders have unrivaled safety in both short and long term, with no risk of explosion (even without pressure release devices) and no corrosion over time regardless of climate. Noise pollution during filling and transportation is significantly lower and so too is the overall weight. The construction of the cylinder is non-corrosive so there is no need for sandblasting and painting. Low weight reduces transportation costs and the even tare weight saves man-hours by removing the need to adjust the filling machines for each cylinder. Ragasco Cylinders are available in a wide range of colors with the option of embossing company logos on the top, which shows consumers a dedication to innovation and a very customer oriented approach. The cylinders are available in a range of sizes and are suited to all kinds of use, from camping and picnicking to barbecues and patio heaters, as well as normal domestic uses such as +++++rs and stoves. Easily portable and attrly designed, these are the LPG cylinders of the 21st century. The transparent feature enables the user to see the gas level through the wall of the cylinder, therefore removing the risk of running out of gas during +++++ng. The flat base makes the cylinder extra stable during usage and transportation. The composite materials do not corrode and so the cylinder will not leave rust stains in your car. The largest cylinder has a tare weight of only 7.5 kg (16.5 lbs) giving a maximum weight of 21.5 kg (47.3 lbs) when full. European Manual Handling Operations Regulations state that you cannot lift anything heavier than 25 kg further than elbow height, so the Ragasco cylinder is well below this requirement. All cylinders have identical tare weight. The low weight combined with an ergonomic design makes the cylinder very easy to lift and handle. They are also stackable. The single-piece pressure vessel is a seamless construction for maximum safety. The all-composite cylinder is corrosion-free and has a clean inner liner surface assuring no contamination to the engine. Some of the key features of the Ragasco Cylinder that they are environmental friendly, the new cylinders are 50% lighter in weight of the current traditional steel cylinders, No risk of explosion even without pressure release devices, Noise pollution during filling and transportation is significantly lower, No corrosion over time regardless of climate, the construction of the cylinder is non-corrosive, so there is no need for sandblasting and painting, Low weight reduces transportation costs. Consumers will be attracted to the lightweight stylish design and the ability to see the level of Gas inside which will greater section of the market will be attracted to the new design, and consistent customer satisfaction is reachable by Gas companies.

The Ragasco Cylinder consists of three layers with different functions:


1st Layer: The seamless blow molded liner forms the inner gas barrier. This is made of a tough, chemical resistant polymer with the boss integrated.

2nd Layer: This composite load-carrying material is filament wound fibre-glass and resin which has a great capacity to withstand pressure. An advanced curing process ensures the see-through feature.

3rd Layer: The distinctively designed, injection molded outer casing protects the pressure vessel and valve. The ergonomic handles allow easy lifting and are built for stacking.
