Really Indian, completely AERZEN New VM 85 production in India To remain competitive, AERZEN’s Indian subsidiary had to produce screw compressor packages of series VM 85 within the country. German standards had to be observed. The Aerzen Machines India Pvt. team with German colleague Stephan Seedorff. Harshal Erande, Production Manager of Aerzen Machines India Pvt. Ltd. - The measurements showed that all performance parameters of the packaged units manufactured in India comply with German specifications.Following a market review carried out by Aerzen Machines (India) Pvt. Ltd., it emerged that there is greater demand for screw compressors of the size of our VM 85. It was therefore decided to produce them locally. Our Indian production site already manufactured blower packaged units of series Delta Blower in nominal widths DN50 to DN400, and maintained stages through its own after-sales service. Therefore, the conditions were ideal for an extension of the product programme. The starting signal for local production came in January 2014. In order to compete in the highly competitive Indian market, Aerzen Machines India had to make sure that it could produce the compressors incountry, and that most of the components, including main components such as base frame and acoustic hood, could be made in India. Quality standards are maintained In order to comply with German standards insofar as the Indian-made packaged units were concerned, Indian colleagues first needed to be trained in Germany. In order to achieve these standards, they worked alongside their German colleagues. One colleague from the parent company then helped with the establishment of assembly, quality inspection and testing at the Indian factory. Observance of the standards and high AERZEN quality demands is mandatory. “The measurements showed that all performance parameters, such as noise and vibration development, as well as throughput, comply with German specifications”, explains Harshal Erande, Production Manager at Aerzen India. The big premiere was on 26th February 2015: For the first time, a packaged unit completely manufactured in Asia had been successfully taken into operation.
