Compressed air requirements in parquet production

Wood – a unique buidling material due to its beauty and naturalness. More than one reason to pay special attention to this material and the possibilities it offers for creating a stylish and healthy home. This is what customers fo KAESER, which is known internationally for its innovative and attractive floor coverings made of wood as well as laminate and vinyl, stand for.

Challenge

When a modern production company revises the enerngy efficiency and sustainability of its processes and facilities, it inevitably has to think about compressed air generation. The customer’s goal was to optimise the energy consumption values, to reduce the maintenance effort and, above all, to enable the highest possible compressed air availability and a trouble-free compressed air supply 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The customer’s production works intensively with compressed air. Most of the compressed air required is for the machines that are used to process the floor coverings. This includes, for example, presses, formatting equipment, sanding and varnishing machines, but also control and processing technology, and finally compressed air for cleaning and driving these machines. Compressed air is also used for the technical systems of the buildings, e.g. for filtering the ambient air and for opening and closing doors.

Solution statement

  • KAESER is using two KAESER CSD 105 SFC variable speed screw compressors and two KAESER CSDX 140 screw compressors for this project. In this product type, the reluctance motor and frequency converter are perfectly matched to each other and form an effective drive system.
  • The spark extinguishing system is powered by an economical, space-saving KAESER SX-6 rotary screw compressor.
  • Three KAESER SECOTEC TF 230 energy-saving refrigeration dryers are used for drying the compressed air.
  • The central and remotely monitored system control, the KAESER SIGMA AIR MANAGER 4.0, permanently monitors all components of the compressed air station and thus regulates their optimal interaction.

Customer value

  • Ideal controllability with robustness and service-friendliness of the components used
  • Maxiumum energy efficiency is possible through optimum system utilisation
  • Predictive service reduces maintenance costs and unnecessary inspections
  • The ambitious goal of energy savings was not only met but even exceeded by far
