We can hardly imagine a world without reciprocating compressors including piston compressors and diaphragm compressors. Compressed gases play a central role in most industrial sectors and determine the manufacturing processes. We have been manufacturing reciprocating compressors (recips) for these processes since 1900. In principle, a reciprocating compressor can be used for all applications and all gases, regardless of gas composition, temperature, or molecular weight. We can integrate the reciprocating compressors directly into a system and allow our customers to automatically benefit from our extensive experience and high level of expertise in system construction. It takes all the system components to form a functional, perfect system.
Our recips, made in Germany, form the stable and long-lasting heart of all compressor systems. Most of our customers request a complete, customized compressor system, often including installation and commissioning.
In addition to the compressor unit and the reciproctaing compressor, the scope of supply can also include other services such as the building or the trailer for the mobile compressor units in accordance with the project requirements. With our team of qualified employees, we can transform the customer's requirements and specifications into highly efficient production systems within the shortest possible time. We consider all the issues that arise during the life cycle of the compressor system right from the technical design and planning of the components. We are specialized in realizing special applications, which means that customers with complex requirements find themselves in good hands with us. Ease of assembly, good operability, and maintainability as well as the sustainable use of resources are among the core principles of our system engineering. This results in numerous advantages for customers, such as high energy efficiency and particularly low life-cycle costs. High safety standards, the adherence of country-specific regulations, and compliance with HSE requirements are as a matter of course in our system and mechanical engineering.
We provide a product lifecycle management concept (PLM) for our customers. This involves linking CAD systems with the ERP system. The main benefit lies in the end-to-end structure, which begins during the sales phase and covers all aspects of the customer's needs up to commissioning and operator training. The exchange of 3D data in common formats is also part of this concept, as is the very early availability of e.g. coordinates of handover points and details of building concepts.
The customized system is developed in close partnership with the customer. One of the core tools for customer interaction is the database-linked 3D representations of the system, which are unique on the market. We use tried-and-tested templates for the secondary units, including cooling water systems, lubrication oil systems, motors, pulsation dampers and control cabinets.
In addition to the daily exchange of the design status, the major advantage for the customer project is the implemented data technology. It transfers the enormous amount of information into manageable file sizes that can also be sent by e-mail. The customer can view these files using simple and free graphics software or discuss and optimize them with our team remotely.
Applications with high discharge pressures generate considerable reciprocating compressor temperatures. Oil-lubricated reciprocating compressors are the right choice for special service life requirements and if small quantities of oil in the gas do not cause a problem for the process. We offer oil-lubricated reciprocating compressors in these areas that optimize sealing performance and significantly increase service life.
When product purity is a priority, oil-free compressors are the solution of choice. With over 60 years of experience, we are a pioneer of dry running. The continuous further development by STASSKOL, our experts for sealing solutions, ensures service lives that can be compared with lubricated applications up to several hundred bar discharge pressure.
We have developed an emission-free, gas-tight drive unit for leak-free compression. This prevents environmentally harmful gases from escaping into the atmosphere. High-quality and expensive gases cannot be leaked either, which protects against costly losses.
In Europe, the USA and global corporations from industries such as petrochemicals and oil & gas, there is a requirement for machines and systems to have "zero emissions". Plant operators are increasingly acting in the interests of sustainability and environmental protection. Accordingly, greenhouse gases such as CO2 and CH4 or toxic gases must no longer be released into the atmosphere.
