Vibration measurement and analysis

New accessories for Delta Screw series

An important component of the Delta Screw series made by Aerzener Maschinenfabrik GmbH is the comprehensive accessories programme. Particularly in cases of high-tech applications relating to high system pressures or reactive production ranges, the highest possible level of safety must be guaranteed.

With a comprehensive accessories programme, Delta Screw series ensures the highest possible level of safety.

In order to detect any damage to the compressor stage as quickly as possible, Aerzener Maschinenfabrik GmbH provides its customers with comprehensive solutions for vibration measurement and analysis. By means of SPN-nipples, and using an existing measuring system, the customer can identify independently any deviations from the standard which might occur. Alternatively, existing AERtronic control systems can be equipped with vibration sensors, in order to display the measured values. Permanent monitoring of the packaged unit can be undertaken completely automatically through the use of a connected vibration analysis system. This enables the customer to perform both vibration measurement and independent analysis of the rotor bearing level.

Monitoring by Aerzener Maschinenfabrik GmbH

In the final stage of expansion “Delta Real Time Monitoring” monitors vibrations, the pressure and the temperature of the machine via sensors. All of the measured values of up to eight diagnostic units are merged in real time in an independent switch cabinet and these values are transmitted immediately via internet, ethernet or GSM-modem to a special server at Aerzener Maschinenfabrik GmbH, where they are stored and can be retrieved at any time. If deviations from trend are observed there, countermeasures can be initiated at once.

AERZEN Thailand founded

With the recently opened subsidiary in Thailand’s capital Bangkok, AERZEN is now present in the “Land of Smiles”. Since 3rd December 2014, Mrs. Jittarat Maneewan, who already knows our products very well, has been working as Business Development Manager for Thailand. In her role, she reports directly to Mr. Andy Lim, AERZEN Singapore, General Manager for South East Asia. Opening a new office in Thailand is part of the AERZEN service strategy to always be close to our customers and to be able to support them directly. The co-operation with the present sales partner, Uni Royal International, will continue - in particular in the After Sales range.

Laser-based coupling alignment – efficient and precise

Machines that are optimally aligned have lower operating and maintenance costs. Thanks to precise alignment, the “Mean Time Between Failure” is reduced and machine availability is increased.For this reason, AERZEN applies across the group the laser-based alignment system OPTALIGN smart RS5 AERZEN. This enables the alignment of directly driven machines. The customer benefits are obvious: lower-wear operation, increased machine availability and prevention of production failures. Using this approach, AERZEN expands its service competence. For any questions, just contact our service managers on site, or our specialists in our parent company.

AERZEN further expands its range of compressors

AERZEN has expanded the new Delta Screw E compressor-series to a total of six different sizes: the new models VM 30 and VML 35 cover the lower volume flow range of 330 to 2,590 m³/h and thus supplement the belt-driven packaged unit types. The VM- and VML compressors, with a maximum differential pressure of 2 or 3.5 bar, are optionally equipped with pressure retaining valves, overflow regulators and air-toair aftercoolers, and include cyclone separators and an automatic condensate drain. Specially tailored solutions are also possible.

New concept for service and maintenance trade fairs

AERZEN has developed a new, modular fair stand concept which can easily be adapted to various base areas, and which reflects the new Corporate Identity. The freestanding, portal-like beam construction of this fair stand is designed to attract the attention of visitors from some distance. Therefore, an adequate presentation area is now available for products and services of the AERZEN After Sales Service. We celebrated its debut at this year’s “Maintenance” fair from 25-26 February in Dortmund, Germany.

Automatic re-lubrication devices

Packaged units with high annual operating times may require more service calls for the re-lubrication interval of the electric motors. Therefore, AERZEN has included automatic re-lubrication devices in the After Sales Service Programme.

These systems are driven by electric motors; the dispensers are provided with the necessary power supply by an integrated removable battery.

Cartridges are available in three different sizes and various types of lubrication. The devices can be applied at temperatures from - 10 °C to + 60 °C. Thanks to corresponding programming, the dispensed quantity can be accurately dosed and adjusted to the requirements of the electric motor. Therefore, an efficient and safe lubrication without downtime is guaranteed. In this way it can be ensured that the system is permanently available. Retro-fitting of new AERZEN machine lubrication devices is also possible for existing standard motors.

Aerzen do Brasil celebrated its 15th anniversary

Last year, the team at our subsidiary Aerzen do Brasil celebrated its 15th anniversary: to have been in business successfully for 15 years in the important, but highly competitive Brazilian market, is a great achievement. To celebrate this milestone, all Aerzen do Brasil colleagues, and their families, were invited to a celebration “in the green”.
