BOGE, on of the oldest German compressor manufacturers celebrating the centenary year in 2007, is exhibiting at Hanover Fair, Hall 27
Stand F46 between 16-20 April. BOGE will showcase a plethora of product developments and innovations.
On-going product development at BOGE recently demonstrated that even excellent product
performance can be improved upon. Significant improvements in the free air delivery of the popular C and CL, 2.2 to 7.5 W, series of screw compressors has allowed more compressed air to be
created without any additional power required across the entire range. Recent ISO 1217 (Appendix C) tests proved the value of the on-going development showing significant increase in FAD and an equally
noticeable improvement in specific power characteristics. This increase in FAD now makes the BOGE C and CL Series the best in their drive range. Outputs have increased by as much as 17% with the best specific power improvement by a similar amount.
Air consumption is based on individual demand. Thanks to the innovative modular design, the state-of-the-art BOGE S
Series screw compressors continue to excel and BOGE will present the latest S Series range at HMI which represent optimum efficiency, dependability through the industry power range to 250 kW.
The S Series screw compressors are available as a base load machine with an option to include integrated frequency control. The BOGE SF
series of frequency controlled screw compressors represents the latest thinking in compressed air energy efficiency. Working strictly in accordance with the compressed air demand the SF series produces the exact volume of compressed air at the pressure required. Frequency control minimises idling time and evens out air demand fluctuations resulting in energy optimisation and leaner operating costs.
Generating
absolutely oil-free compressed air is a prerequisite in a number of industries such as in the food and pharmaceutical sectors. The latest 45kW drive oil-free
screw compressor range (SO) are already considered to be ideal to operate.
BOGE has further expanded its oil-free
product portfolio to include a number of smaller drive options to meet the growing demand from the smaller oil-free compressed air user. The K
series oil-free piston compressor range (2.2 to 5.5 kW) includes a compact layout and an innovatively designed drive, where the lifting piston operates horizontally on a push rod principle which rotates like a screw.
As a total compressed air solutions provider, BOGE provides completely engineered compressed air stations for either stationery or mobile use in the form of ‘ready to connect container solutions’. Such containers can include everything that is expected in a modern compressed air system.
The time proven compressor range from BOGE is
complimented with a wide range of intelligent control systems designed to support the customer in achieving compressed air energy efficiency. A new generation of compressor control systems include the
BASIC, FOCUS and PRIME models along with the trinity changeover system and air
telligence, a multiple master control system that offers the customer numerous control and monitoring options.
The recently launched airtelligence is an energy optimisation system representing the latest technological thinking in compressed air energy management. Able to harmonise up to 16 compressors at a
time, with the option to visualise results, the airtelligence is designed to optimise operating costs, reduce maintenance costs and create sustainable energy efficiencies.
In order to
initially assess the energy needs and subsequent control needs of the compressed air system, BOGE offers "AIReport", a tool that is designed to measure the current and actual demands for
compressed air. "compass" report then serves to highlight the ideal compressed air production process and potential savings that would be made by re-configuring the compressed air system
within pre-defined customer criteria. Finally "serfix" calculates the fixed maintenance cost for the extended life of a compressor.
With 100 years of engineering excellence already behind, BOGE enters their next centenary with undiminished enthusiasm to innovate and manufacture economic and efficient compressed air solutions, "Such on-going product developments showcased at HMI 2007 demonstrates our commitment to produce compressed air systems that work efficiently and more profitability", says BOGE.
