Packaging specialist relies on compressed air from KAESER

Within the SAIER Group, SAIER Verpackungstechnik GmbH & Co. KG is the specialist for buckets, trays and tubs in all shapes and volumes from 1 to 65 litres. Solid plastic packaging is injection moulded from propylene and can be finished using the IML (in-mould-labelling) decoration process. A large number of standardised or customised packages are produced and delivered just in time every day.

Challenge

SAIER Verpackungstechnik has always recycled almost 100 % of its production-related plastic waste and reused it in selected prodution processes. Therefore, the company generates almost no plastic waste – on the contrary, for some years now, suitable recycling and post-consumer materials have been purchased for non-food products. If a modern production company has such an eye on the energy efficiency and sustainability of its processes and facilties, it must inevitably also think about compressed air generation.

When it comes to pneumatics emptying of silo vehicles, bulk material processing companies are often faced with a choice: on-board, i.e. mobile compressors or stationary ones. The pneumatic emptying of silo vehicles by on-board compressor systems have several disadvantages. It is not only uneconomical, as it increases the downtime of the vehicles and thus reduces their profitability. The procedure also pollutes the environment because the truck engine has to drive the silo compressor at an increased speed during the entire unloading period. Added to this is the high noise level. Faster, more economical, more environmentally friendlyand considerably quieter emptying is done by stationary compressor units installed at the unloading site.

Solution statement

  • SAIER Verpackungstechnik in Alpirsbach decided to use a KAESER DSB 220 M SFC screw blower
  • The KAESER screw blower is used to empty the incoming tanker trucks and then temporarily store the plastic granulate in silos via piping systems.
  • KAESER screw blowers up to 250 kW are suitable for use in a wide volume range
  • In puncto commissioning, operation and maintenance, the robust endurance blowers exploit all potential savings
  • User-friendly systems are supplied as ready-to-connect “plug & work” products and require absolutely little maintenance

Customer value

  • The KAESER screw blower used ensures reduced energy consumption and also makes a contribution to environmental protection and noise protection that should be underestimated.
  • The new KAESER screw blower, which replaces a previously used blower station, has resulted in energy savings of 30 %. This results from a significant reduction in system pressure with an increased delivery rate.
  • The efficiency of the unloading process for the silo vehicles was also significantly increased through optimal plant utilisation.
  • A time saving of 20 % has already been achieved here.
