Industrie 4.0, or the Internet of Things: the Sigma Air Manager 4.0 (SAM 4.0) makes it all possible, the ability to make predictions far in advance, know today what the future holds, network components and exploit much larger data volumes than ever before, whilst also ensuring significant energy cost savings and delivering a reliable, consistent and efficient compressed air supply. Presenting the latest generation of SAM 4.0 – the master control system for all your compressed air production and treatment components. It optimises pressure values, automatically adjusts compressor system air delivery to accommodate fluctuating pressure demand and optimises system efficiency based on control losses, switching losses and pressure flexibility. Moreover, the SAM 4.0 enables your compressed air station to take advantage of future services such as Sigma Smart Air, for predictive maintenance. All of these features not only boost operational reliability and efficiency, but also significantly reduce energy costs. Best possible pressure quality, tailored to specific needs This is in no small part made possible by Kaeser’s adaptive 3-D advanced Control, which takes into account additional factors, aside from switching losses (start/stop), that affect compressed air system energy efficiency. These include control and idling losses, frequency converter operation and pressure flexibility (average increase above required pressure). The patented optimisation method predictively calculates the optimum achievable configuration and adjusts the connected components accordingly – all based on the specific pressure required by the user. When machines talk The SAM 4.0 supports operation in 30 languages, while the easy-to-use 12-inch colour touchscreen shows at a glance whether the station is operating in the 'green zone' from an energy management perspective.

Responsible use of resources is one of the key factors to which Kaeser Kompressoren owes its success. As a leading compressed air systems provider and a renowned industry trendsetter, Kaeser is proud to present yet another technological milestone. For the first time, the ASD series of variable-speed compressors will be equipped with synchronous reluctance motors – a major advantage due to their considerably lower losses in the crucial partial-load range, compared to asynchronous motors. With Sigma Profil and innovative drive concepts, Kaeser's ASD series of rotary screw compressors offer flow rates ranging from 3.15 to 5.5 m³/min, delivering outstanding performance and reliability, combined with energy efficiency and space-saving design. The trendsetting company is now taking another important step – releasing its ASD series of variable-speed rotary screw compressors with a completely new drive technology. The major advantage of this complete solution, which was developed in close partnership with Siemens, is that it delivers efficiency gains of up to ten percent in the partial-load range. This drive principle has been understood for decades. But only now has its implementation in production series motors attained the technical perfection required to benefit users throughout the world. Variable-speed drive with high system efficiency With our variable-speed versions (SFC) of the ASD series, we offer customers worldwide an opportunity to embark on a path of minimal energy consumption – and minimal operating costs. This is important because compressed air stations are often constructed on a modular basis: Continuously running compressor systems with IE3 and IE4 motors cover base load demand, whilst additional peak-load compressors respond flexibly to meet extra demand; the system as a whole is controlled and co-ordinated by a Sigma Air Manager 4.0 master controller to ensure maximum efficiency.

Since 1985 Liebherr develops, produces and distributes efficient moisture measurement systems for the industrial automation around the world. At the beginning the moisture measurement sensors were used only for own LIEBHERR concrete mixing plants to determine the sand moisture in the process. This has fundamentally changed the last years and the sensors are used in different industrial sectors nowadays, from automotive supplier- to building material-, paper-, food industry to the agriculture sector further on for chemical and petrochemical applications. Systems are installed for example in following materials: Moisture: Building materials, quartz sand, cullet, minerals, plastic granules, paper, carton, pet food, wooden chips, corn and maize, sugar beet, seed, fertilizer, biomass,… up to marzipan, Water content: Diesel, crude oil, ethanol, paint… At the Liebherr factory in Bad Schussenried the sensors are produced and calibrated in an ESD-protected production line. Sensor development at Liebherr includes the total R&D value chain from the physical idea to the final solution, from the first concept to the finished product. The experience from the field of construction machines under extreme conditions guarantees a very high reliability and a long life time of the sensors. The moisture measurement system FMS II is used, for example, in the agriculture sector in maize and grain drying pants. During drying process, the exact determination of corn/ maize moisture is most important for the storage of the goods. The sensors are installed in the dryer inlet and outlet and monitor directly in the material flow the moisture content of the material. With this the two maize or corn moisture levels are compared and then the drying process will be controlled accordingly.

The shock wave technology enables a highly selective separation of electrical or electronic devices at their mechanical weak points, thus enabling selective disassembly into individual components. Disassembling complex assemblies creates new recycling options for the separated materials and detached electronic parts. This allows electronic equipment to be almost perfectly separated into their main components, such as frame parts, printed circuit boards, batteries and other plastic or metal pieces. • Targeted exposure of individual components such as batteries, circuit boards, etc. • Removal of harmful substances by separating the battery • Selective separation into individual components enables separation into precious metal-rich and precious metal-free fractions (formation of concentrates) • Freely scalable system concept through to customised complete systems

Our technicians completely measured the cleared mixer. A completely new rotor including a PUCEST® universal mixing arm could now be designed and manufactured using 3D construction. A defective gearbox was also found during the dimensional survey and chiseling of the drive, which was quickly dismantled by our service technicians and brought to our headquarters in Elsenfeld for further damage diagnosis. The gearbox was dismantled, and the bearings were completely replaced. A short time later, the conversion of the mixer was started on site. Our service technicians arrived at the customer’s premises with a prefabricated rotor and repaired gearbox, and the gearbox and rotor were installed. Within a very short time, the rotor was completely assembled from scratch, including welding and turning work for perfect concentricity. It goes without saying that the rotor was fitted with our tried-and-tested PUCEST® universal arm system. Adapter plates have now been welded to the rotor, which are used to attach the new bracket and the mixing arms. The spring, which previously had its place in the rotor, now sits in the mixer’s mixing arm, protected from external influences. The advantage is obvious: no concrete can penetrate and paralyze the springs. Corrosion and constant readjustment of the springs is also a thing of the past, as the new spring element in the mixing arm is made of PUCEST® material and the spring is always preset to the optimum spring force. The mixer arms can be turned in any direction and thus contribute to a satisfactory mixing result. Our customer was extremely satisfied with the solution of a rebuild, the alternative of installing a new mixer would have been much more expensive. Thanks to our mixer service from a single source, we were able to bring the mixer back to life within a very short time and provide our customer with absolute added value in his daily tasks. Mixer´s life saved!!!
