Sustainability and the responsible use of energy are already relevant today. With this as its guiding premise, Klauke has invested in part of its Remscheid site and installed a new compressed air station in the remodelled production hall "Auf dem Knapp 26". The combination of compressors with integrated heat recovery, energy-saving dryers and a higher-level compressor control system together with other built-in modules now makes it possible to use 96 % of the energy used of approx. 60,000 kW/h per year to heat the production hall.

Furthermore, the heat recovery of the compressor system was coupled with the heating system and supplies the 800 L buffer tank of the heating system all year round. The maximum usable energy for this is approx. 42,000 kW/h p.a.

The higher-level control system regulates and monitors the compressors so that the required pressure in the plant is optimally provided at all times and always at the currently most energy-efficient operating point. In addition, each system component can be monitored in real time using the user interface and messages about deviations or malfunctions can be sent to in-house and external service personnel immediately via an email server. 

Of course, the employees also benefit, as they work in a significantly improved environment thanks to the high-performance filter for separating residual oil aerosols that is also integrated.
