Aerzen Positive Displacement Blower IT RUNS AND RUNS... AND JUST KEEPS ON RUNNING! At the Sindorf waterworks an Aerzen service technician came across an ‘old treasure’. Positive Displacement Blowers The blower has been working reliably for 58 years.During the installation and start-up of two packaged units GM 25 S, the supervisor discovered, in an- other part of the Kerpen waterworks, an AERZEN positive displacement blower with year of manufacture ... 1955! Despite its considerable age of 58 years, this blower was in perfect external and technical condition. The blower was being used in the regeneration of a gravel bed filter, and has operated for many years - without ever having an Aerzen service technician on site. Up until now all maintenance work on it has been carried out entirely by the operating personnel.
Pleasant and Successful Co-operation For the first time in Aerzener Maschinenfabrik’s company history, the engineering for a VMY compressor package has been carried out in Aerzen, within a recently completed and very successful process gas project. Our subsidiary, Aerzen USA, was responsible for the project management, the packaged unit assembly and start-up.A packaged unit, specially designed for the American market, is the oil-injected compressor, type VMY 436 B. This machine differs from the established Aerzen standard in a number of essential respects. The customer, Tesoro, a leading company in the American energy industry, stipulates that components have to originate mainly from American manufacturers.The design process was the result of close team- work between Aerzen USA and the design management unit of the Process Gas Division (PGD). In consultation with possible suppliers, the components were integrated into a 3D model of the entire unit. Installation and a functional test of the packaged unit were carried out by a qualified American packager under the leadership of Aerzen USA and the department PGD.
