Reliability

The reliability of machines is a cornerstone of operational excellence in any industry. Reliable machinery minimizes unexpected failures, which can lead to costly downtime and disruptions in productivity.

VSD & circulation valve increases machine reliability

The Variable Speed Drive and circulation valve ensure smooth, continuous operation by matching output to demand, eliminating frequent load/unload cycles and start/stop events. This reduces mechanical stress, lowers wear, and extends the booster’s service life.

  1. Oxygen inlet

    The quality of the inlet oxygen has a significant impact on the booster’s performance and reliability. The minimum recommended inlet O₂ quality is Class 2:2:1 in according with ISO 8573-1:2010.

  2. Variable Speed Drive
    • Lowers starting current, reducing impact on the local power grid.
    • Deliver the flow according to consumption, eliminating the waste during unload operation, and lowering energy consumption.
    • The adjustable flow provides the flexibility for OGB to suit all applications, even those with high flow fluctuations.
  3. Elektronikon
    • Dedicated start/stop button with warning indicator, providing operators with an intuitive control and a clear visual alert on operational status.
    • Remote control connectivity allows integration with the central control system, enabling automated workflows and the ability to start or stop the machine from a safe distance, reducing exposure to potential hazards.
  4. Blow-off valve

    The blow-off valve releases outlet pressure before startup, allowing the machine to start under no-load conditions.

  5. Pump block
    • The double-acting design improves performance while keeping the pump block compact.
    • The vertical inline cylinder aligns piston movement with gravity, reducing wear and extending component life.
  6. Oil-free crankcase
    • No oil needed in the booster, eliminate contamination risks with O2. 
    • Prevents potential explosion hazards caused by contact between O2 and oil.
  7. Main motor (IE3)

    The IE3 motor delivers high mechanical output with minimal energy loss, boosting overall efficiency.

  8. Oxygen ventilation

    Leaked or vented O₂ is safely collected through a dedicated pipe that can be routed outside the work area.

  9. Cooler

    High performance cooler ensures the stable inter/outlet temperature and enhance over all machine reliability.

  10. Circulation
    • Enables flow delivery based on application requirements even under high flow fluctuation.
    • Eliminates the load/unload  and enhancing overall system reliability.
  11. Pressure gauge

    Inlet and outlet pressures are clearly visible at a glance, making operation and monitoring easier.
