AERZEN captures Thailand’s milling industry Bangkok’s flour mill Siam Flour, rich in tradition, has been relying on AERZEN for 30 years. It is important that friction takes place only between the millstones and not during the processes! Siam Flour Mill in Bangkok Pong Prinyaroye, Managing director Siam Flour Mill: "AERZEN blowers are like workhorses - robust and reliable - so there will not be any unplanned downtime which can cost a lot of money." Siam Flour is one of the oldest mills in Thailand and produces more than 250 tons of grain daily. Due to theirdesign and reliability the company is a loyal user of AERZEN positive displacement blowers and they have already convinced other companies in the milling industry of the qualities of these blowers.The former favourite of Siam Flour, the 2-lobe GMb15.10, is now being replaced by the more efficient 3-lobe AERZEN GM35s. This blower is more compact, with a higher running speed, and, with an acoustic hood, noise is well contained.Until now, Siam Flour has been carry- ing out their own overhaul and repair of the blowers, buying all original spare parts from the local authorised sales agent UniRoyal. Now the company is consider- ing handing over the After Sales Service to AERZEN. UniRoyal is supporting Siam Flour in case of technical questions and inspects the blowers regularly by means of the AERZEN vibration detector.In Thailand more than 1,000 AERZEN blowers and screw (type) compressors are in operation, in a rapidly increasing number of applications. UniRoyal and Aerzen Asia are confident that more and more customers will eventually take up the complete aftersales care package, which includes quick response, preventive maintenance such as vibration monitoring, overhaul and repair, standby blowers and exchange programmes.
Advanced concept of workspace utilisation for PGD As a result of the steady growth of AERZEN’s Process Gas Division, their existing office space is bursting at the seams. In addition, the innovative and open working structures of the division need to be reflected in and supported by their office environment. Accordingly, a modern and sustainable working environment has been developed which will facilitate optimum communication between the teams. Project rooms and integrated meeting areas will help to encourage creativity and close cooperation.AERZEN Process Gas Division is ideally equipped for the future with the variable space and utilisation concept in the new building. The attractive working environment will also help to attract suitably qualified personnel in the future.

Successful Areva recertification At the end of February 2014, AERZEN passed a two-day recertification audit for the customer Areva, a leader in nuclear technology.

These regulations were published by the Nuclear Quality Standard Association (NSQA) in 2011, are based on ISO 9001 and are internationally respected.Due to the new requirements of the NSQ-100 regulations, AERZEN awaited the audit with excitement.
