The ELBI AFV 500-16 is a 500 litre vertical coated accumulator / pressure vessel designed for potable water and booster set applications. This replaceable-bladder tank (AFV series) stabilizes system pressure, reduces pump cycling and delivers steady flow to residential and industrial installations.

• Capacity: 500 L (AFV 500 model).
• Maximum pressure: 16 bar (model AFV 500-16). Working pressure typically quoted at 12 bar.
• Replaceable EPDM bladder — alimentary tested and suitable for potable water.
• Finish: solvent-based / industrial coating (AFV 500-16 grey); epoxy powder coating used on other AF models for long-lasting protection.
• Connections & dimensions: main connection 2", auxiliary ¾"; diameter ≈ 775 mm, height ≈ 1420 mm, weight ≈ 90 kg (model data).
• Certification & standards: CE / conforms to essential safety requirements for pressure equipment (AF series).

Applications: Ideal for water pressure boosting, domestic and light industrial water systems, sprinkler pre-charge, and installations where water must remain separated from metal parts by an internal membrane. The AFV 500-16 minimizes pump starts, improves service life of pumps, and helps maintain steady outlet pressure under variable demand.

Why choose this model: The ELBI AFV 500-16 combines a large 500 L capacity and high-pressure rating for demanding booster applications, with an EPDM bladder certified for drinking water and a durable coated finish for long-term corrosion resistance — making it a robust choice for stable, hygienic system pressure management.
