The management system is complete Four ISO certifications for AERZEN Following three re-certifications, and one initial certification, the integrated management system at AERZEN is now complete. Members of the HSE team are happy about receiving four certifications: (from left) Eckhard Buchholz (BI), Matthias Walter (QM), Christian Wegner (BIP), team leader Olaf Tanner (Q), Metin Kondakci (GSF) and Christian Schlie (GSF).DNV GL audited the integrated management system of AERZEN at the end of January 2016. This system comprises the certifications for DIN EN ISO 9001 (quality management), 14001 (environmental management) and 50001 (energy management), representing the annual monitoring audit. The certifications for ISO 9001 and 14001 were undertaken according to the new, completely revised, 2015 version. This version more consistently pursues the process concept and requires, in principle, information about the process owner, objective, inputs, outputs, key figures and responsibilities. In addition, the risk-based approach is emphasised, and possible process risks are considered more extensively than previously. In addition to the monitoring audits, AERZEN received initial certification for OHSAS 18001 (work and health protection management) which completes, for the time being, the integrated management system. Thus, AERZEN offers products of high technical quality, which are produced in an ecologically-friendly and energy-efficient way, with due care given to the reliability of delivery.
CE-marking for AERZEN Vacuum Blowers At the beginning of this year, following a new evaluation, AERZEN vacuum blowers of type HV and CM are complete machines, having attained the valued CE marking. This provides considerable simplifications for customers. AERZEN has re-evaluated with success the distinction between a complete and an incomplete machine through a new legal opinion for the purposes of the Machine Directive.
A new look for Aerzen Turbo The successful Aerzen Turbo-Series TB has been updated: The innovative system was specially developed for biological wastewater treatment plants with small and average volume flow requirements. Now, the series TB, which, at present, is available in eleven sizes, has been the subject of numerous constructive adjustments, through which energy consumption has been reduced by up to six percent. The small dimensions of the TB series results in extremely high power density. Moreover, the air conveyance has been optimised. Due to the separation of electrical and mechanical technology, heat losses are not transmitted to process air and the efficiency and reliability of the electrical technology is increased.
News from the AERZEN site After a one year construction period, the new production hall in the centre of the AERZEN premises is now ready to move into. The processing machines, which had been enclosed, or put in temporary storage during the construction period, have restarted their production operations. In another section, a portal milling machine has been replaced by a new Uniport 7000. This ultramodern machining centre has a mobile portal with a fixed table, which allows flexible and precise multi-sided machining of large components, such as pistons and housing parts. Thanks to the changeover to a Siemens Sinumerik 840D control system, the Uniport 7000 can be programmed with 3D data.
Service location South re-staffed Due to the continuously increasing number of machines to be serviced and customers to be supported in this region, AERZEN decided to re-staff the Service location Blaubeuren/South: since mid 2015, service technician Izudin Licina has been responsible for postal code area 7, and Markus Mühlbauer for postal code area 8 and parts of area 9.
