Many years ago, SPITZER<\/strong> committed itself to customer and operator friendliness
and wanted to stand out from the competition with the pneumatic actuation of the railing on the filling hatches of the silo.<\/p>\n
With a broad portfolio, more than 100,000 employees, and comprehensive global implementation expertise, Siemens Energy pursues a clear ambition: We energize society.<\/p>\n\n
Energy – Our entire existence is built upon it…<\/strong><\/h4>\n
than it requires. A large electromagnet is the heart of the ITER Tokamak. It controls the plasma current during operation. The temperature in the plasma current will reach up to 150 million degrees. The Tokamak will be 30 meters high and weigh 23,000 tons. It consists of over one million individual parts.<\/p>\nPartnership since 2008<\/strong><\/h4>\n
The standard cylinder was transformed into a customer-specific assembly, which naturally has the cylinder function as its basis and also includes additional features:<\/strong><\/p>\n
This close cooperation results in customized solutions that meet the highest requirements for reliability, precision, and durability.<\/p>\nRenewed Trust in KONSTANDIN’s Engineering Expertise<\/strong><\/h4>\n
The result is an innovative, high-quality assembly with integrated technology \u2013 and at costs that also provide SPITZER<\/strong> with an economic advantage compared to the standard components previously used.<\/p>\n
In modern refineries and pipeline systems, maximum operational safety, precise controllability, and the highest plant availability are indispensable. Special actuating cylinders handle the exact regulation of the gas flow. They ensure precise positioning movements and reliable control processes \u2013 even under extreme environmental conditions.
Another important area of application for actuating cylinders is air separation plants, where ambient air is separated into its individual components such as oxygen, nitrogen, and argon for further use.
In addition, the control boxes developed by KONSTANDIN<\/strong> are also used in these plant segments to regulate the pneumatic drives.
Whether on offshore platforms, in desert regions with extreme temperatures, or at other challenging locations worldwide \u2013 the components used must function reliably and safely over the long term under all conditions.<\/p>\nChallenge<\/strong><\/h4>\n
The result is an innovative, high-quality assembly with integrated technology \u2013 and at costs that also provide SPITZER<\/strong> with an economic advantage compared to the standard components previously used.<\/p>\n
The combination of customer-specific requirements, many years of experience, and high-quality components results in robust and durable complete systems that meet the high demands of international infrastructure.<\/p>\nThe Solution: A Masterpiece of Materials Engineering<\/strong><\/h4>\n
The result is an innovative, high-quality assembly with integrated technology \u2013 and at costs that also provide SPITZER<\/strong> with an economic advantage compared to the standard components previously used.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, suitable displacement measurement systems are integrated, individual mounting solutions are implemented, or complete stainless steel versions are realized for offshore applications and high-temperature areas.
All components are manufactured with the highest precision in our own production facility. The assemblies are then carefully assembled, tested, and prepared for use by assembly specialists.
The final inspection is usually carried out together with the respective control box, which is precisely matched to the cylinder and the subsequent application.
Various valve configurations, maintenance units, and one or two SIPART controllers from Siemens<\/strong> are used for control.
The control boxes are also consistently adapted to the respective environmental conditions. In addition to standard applications in the temperature range from 0\u00b0C to +50\u00b0C, solutions for operating temperatures from -25\u00b0C to +80\u00b0C have already been successfully implemented.<\/p>\n
