For over 25 years, Coval has developed personalised vac-uum handling and holding solutions for the aerospace, automotive, agrofood, packaging and plastics processing industries.

Bolstered by these years of experience, Coval has become a major partner for the aerospace industry.

TO SUPPORT   aerospace sub-contractors on a stage-by-stage basis with their projects, from the design of products adapted to the constraints through to vac-uum network optimisation using dedicated software, and the on-site integration of our products in order to guarantee the installation’s performance.

TO MASTER   the constraints relating to the handling and holding of the materials used: aluminium and composites, whether fired or unfired, painted or un-painted.

TO INNOVATE   in order to better respond to the specific features of the aerospace indus-try (lightweight compact vacuum generation units that are easy to fit onto the frame, are very economical in terms of energy, and which do not require maintenance).

TO SECURE   : Our solutions make it possible to guarantee that the reference part will be held onto the tooling in the event of a power failure.

TO TRAIN AND ADVISE   users on-site in or-der to better master vacuum applications.

Our commitments

Installation performance guarantee.  Installation cost reduction.  Easy to implement and use.  Optimisation and reliability of the installation.  Compactness and lightweight nature of the solutions.  Energy savings.  Reduction in noise levels.
