Bürener Maschinenfabrik GmbH

May 4th, 2012

Overview

The business
For more than forty years, the Bürener Maschinenfabrik GmbH (bmf) has been providing the industry with products and installations for delivery, filtering and conditioning techniques in addition to parts and plastic parts. The slogan “Technik mit Ideen” (know-how plus ideas) is the order of the day, the 250-strong firm is making increasingly more modern solutions.

The scenario
The machine tool trade requires house-saving solutions. On this foundation, bmf developed the concept of a new cooling lubricant processing installation: the idea is based on a high performance coil-kind vacuum filter straight while in the coolant tank (“soiled tank”). For the immersible pump that is additionally to be put in in the tank, the following load profile was ready: A very compact design, yet with enough performance to attract the cooling lubricant that has been contaminated with chippings and different particles which were worn off within the steel processing operation, via the filter by means of a vacuum. The pump must convey the clear cooling lubricant on to the machine device at the required pressure.

The answer
For the new filter set up, Grundfos, working along with bmf specialists, has developed a brand-new submersible pump model: the SPK two-23/23. So what is just-out about this mannequin?

· Essentially the most noticeable factor is the vacuum adapter for vacuum filtration; these vacuum adapters are actually accessible for all immersible pumps from Grundfos.
· The inlet strainer that’s common in pumps for cooling lubricants is not there as a result of these pumps are at all times placed after the filter and only take in clean medium.
· The pump hydraulics have been further improved: the immersible pumps do not simply draw very properly (as much as -0.4 bar unfavourable pressure is feasible), in addition they bring the clean cooling lubricant to a pressure of as much as 7.zero bar (SPK two-23/23), and a most of 20 bars is feasible (CRK, MTR collection).
· The optionally available Harting plug simplifies the electrical connection of the pump (no electrician required).

And, because of the particular filter expertise on this immersible pump, no pace regulation is required both: because of how they normally work (the filter floor becomes loaded over time, so that higher pace = greater pressure is consistently required), normal filter pumps are sometimes designed with pace regulation. Coil-sort vacuum filters from bmf don’t have any filtering gear and therefore, because of their design, don’t develop into fouled on this manner, so pace management for the filter pump can be distributed with.

The result
The dual perform of the pump has several advantages for the consumer: The purification tank, and the pump to go together with it, which can be often needed are now not required. This compact filter manufacture therefore needsless area, saves money and is it’s additionally extremely low-maintenance. bmf division head, Heinz Ahlke: “the compact installation has confirmed its practicality in a number of reference initiatives while in the machine tool industry. In future we will probably be using the cutting-edge coolant conditioning system throughout the board”.

It was also important that, as a global producer, Grundfos already had its own sales and service group with subsidiaries in additional than 50 countries: “the availability of spare parts is due to this fact en-sured on all of the important markets – our customers, who’re all internationally based mostly, admire that.”

Heinz Ahlke, Head of Division, Chip Conveyors and Filter Systems, Bürener Maschinenfabrik GmbH says:

“Grundfos is certainly in a really wonderful technical place on the subject of immersible pumps and might offer a comprehensive product range. However what is at least as important for me is the availability and competence of the sphere team.”

Grundfos – Outstanding service impressed Dongan Engine

March 30th, 2012

The Scenario

When Dongan Engine manufacture facilities have been established back in 1998-2002 the main producing tools was imported instantly from Japan or Europe. This included tools for the engine construction line, washing lines, and centralised filtration system. Accordingly, a lot of the pumps in the programs had been Grundfos pumps.

To meet the rising demand and to ensure the steadiness of their fabrication, Dongan Engine just lately decided to replace many of the components in a large range of their fabrication lines. Based on optimistic experiences with Grundfos pumps while in the methods, the business decided to decide on Grundfos again. To adjust to the local loyalty government policy, Dongan Engine determined to buy their Grundfos Industrial pumps from local suppliers slightly than straight from Grundfos China.
The Grundfos Answer

Though Dongan Engine didn’t buy pumps directly from the sales firm, Grundfos China nonetheless maintained a wonderful relationship with Dongan Engine and offered well timed service for the brand-new pumps in the manufacture lines.

The close relationship has founded a very marvelous brand impression at Dongan Engine. And Grundfos China’s constant focus on reliability and high quality adhere to the requirements of Dongan Engine, which is the basis of a long-term cooperation between the 2 companies.

And every time, Dongan Engine does renovation work or expands its construction strains, it is Grundfos China they call. Thus far, Grundfos China has changed greater than one hundred ten CR, CRN, MTR pumps in the manufacture and utility systems.
The Consequence

As we speak, Grundfos is the preferred pump model and Grundfos China, the preferred pump partner. Prime quality pumps and Grundfos after-sales service safe clean operation and peace of thoughts with Dongan Engine.

Grundfos China has already replaced a non-Grundfos high pressure screw pump with a Grundfos MTS pump in a excessive-pressure cooling machine. And many more non-Grundfos pumps in the centralised filtration, sewage liquid dealing with, and high-pressure cooling systems are about to be replaced. And Grundfos China and Dongan Engine are already negotiating a substitute plan.
“At the moment, greater than 60% of the pumps we use in our manufacturing unit are Grundfos pumps – primarily for cleaning the manufacture line. Grundfos’ high quality pumps offer reliability, which is very important to ensure the standard of our construction. And together with their spectacular after-sales service the cooperation is our assure for reliability and consistency in our engine fabrication.” Hao Li Hui, Assistant Manager, Dongan Automotive Engineering department

Turnkey options with clever controls convey wastewater pumping stations updated in Aggersund, Denmark

March 23rd, 2012

In Aggersund, Denmark, the native municipality decided it was time to update their forty 12 months outdated vacuum sewer system. Following investigation of brand-new and alternative methods, they chose to interchange the small well pits with Grundfos PUST prefabricated pumping stations totally built-in with monitoring and management using Grundfos Devoted Controls.

The vacuum based mostly system contained greater than 60 small pits, each amassing wastewater from three to 4 houses. The decision to install such a system in the 1970’s rested largely on the issues specific to wastewater assortment in Aggersund – a excessive water table and risk of flooding. Maintenance had turn out to be timeconsuming, expensive, and working conditions typically difficult.

As Operations Manager Lars Peter Jensen of the Løgstør Wastewater Treatment Plant explains, “Contemplating the social, environmental and price issues, it was clear to us that the time was proper to contemplate alternate options”.

In the direction of a contemporary wastewater system
At first, the town’s engineers leaned in the direction of a conventional gravity-based mostly system, and also thought of pressurised systems. Nevertheless, a visit to a neighbouring municipality to see a project involving quite a lot of pumping stations with a completely brand-new type of management system satisfied them of another possibility.

The Grundfos PUST prefabricated pumping station means the municipality could install a sturdy polyethylene pumping station with pumps, pipes and accessories delivered on web site and lowered onto a concrete basis, in lower than a day.

“Pumping stations that arrive on a lorry, able to be off-loaded and installed, together with the superstructure, concrete foundation and all different necessary tools couldn’t be easier for us, and is the perfect answer for a town like ours, with a excessive water table,” says Lars Peter Jensen.

The addition of Grundfos Dedicated Controls ensures full monitoring and control of all pumping stations, and in this case with an vital just-out addition to Dedicated Controls that basically captured the imagination.

Brand-new management system ensures integration
The management system which generated explicit curiosity in was the GPRS online system, which connects the person items via a central SCADA system. The system additionally monitors alarms from the Grundfos IO111 sensor and MP204 motor safety unit, which permits the end user to immediately monitor the pump performance and protects them from damage.

Having the sort of system can significantly reduce the entire cost of a system by offering real time suggestions, permitting for fast selections to be made regarding preventative maintenance. In particular, the installation wizard and person interaction ensure consumer satisfaction.

”The system is very consumer friendly and simple to navigate, which implies it is straightforward for the operators to make use of the entire functions. The person interface is fantastic and is as easy to make use of and intuitive as using a mobile phone,” explains Lars Peter Jensen. “I can’t consider a single scenario regarding the every day operation of the pumping stations that the control system hasn’t had covered.”

One of the first turnkey installations from Grundfos
Primarily based on the data from the consulting engineer, Grundfos calculated the pressurised pipes, pumps, and pit sizes for a total of 9 pumping stations. The two larger pumping stations had been every equipped with Grundfos SEV 80 6 kW pumps and the smaller seven pumping stations have SEG grinder pumps.

Aggersund is among the first prospects to obtain a complete turnkey solution from Grundfos. This was a standard system that included prefabricated tanks, pumps, valves, pipes, and spares, to which was extra Devoted Controls, GPRS communication and breaker panels. Flexibility is constructed into these standard systems, allowing Grundfos to adapt a system for particular requirements.

Contemplating the flood risk in the municipality’s coastal cities, Grundfos was capable of supply a wastewater system that met the requirements for a posh mission, to the satisfaction of the municipality.

“We have invested several million Euros in this venture, so we had to be completely certain that we used a contributor whom we may trust. We already knew Grundfos from an area flood safety undertaking, and we are very satisfied with the pumping stations that at the moment are installed,” concludes Lars Peter Jensen.
