Reliable remote-control of valves
09.01.2026
The flexible shaft is a further development of the conventional rigid drive shaft and offers a reliable and durable solution for the manual remote control of valves. Proven over decades, the system is used successfully in both the maritime sector and various land-based industries.
Digital examination of flange connection fitters
08.12.2025
A flange connection consists of several precisely coordinated components: flange, bolts, nuts, gasket, and washers together form a central element of many technical systems in the process industry. The professional assembly and subsequent testing of these connections are crucial to ensure the tightness, safety, and durability of the entire system. Even minor errors can have serious consequences.
Explosion protection in everyday operations: Safe processes when handling bulk materials
24.11.2024
In industrial processes involving bulk materials such as flour, sugar, cement, lime, plastic granules, or metal powder, explosion protection is one of the key safety tasks. Fine, combustible dusts can form explosive mixtures when combined with oxygen and a suitable ignition source.
Risk versus regulations: cybersecurity in the process industry
10.11.2024
In addition to long-standing regulations in the area of plant and occupational safety, there are increasingly legal requirements in the area of cybersecurity, all of which have varying degrees of impact on the operation of chemical plants.
Selecting the right valves for blue hydrogen production
27.10.2024
Efficient and safe blue hydrogen production requires precisely specified valves and suitable control and regulation components. These form the basis for reliable and continuous plant operation.
A digital edge with AI – even in sealing technology
13.10.2024
The industrial service sector is undergoing radical change. Digitalization and artificial intelligence (AI) are considered key levers for increasing efficiency, reducing the workload on skilled workers, and strengthening customer relationships. Companies in the sealing technology industry are no exception.
How smart positioners make the process industry more efficient and sustainable
29.09.2024
Sustainability has long been a central component of modern process control. The efficient use of resources not only determines a company's environmental balance sheet, but also its economic competitiveness. Compressed air consumption plays a particularly important role in this context: compressed air is one of the most expensive forms of energy in industry.
Industry 4.0: Prospects for networked value creation
19.09.2024
With the impulse paper "Industry 4.0: Research and Development Perspectives", the Industry 4.0 Research Advisory Board presents a recommendation for research funding in the context of networked value creation.
The crucial role of PTFE seals in electrolysers
01.09.2024
Hydrogen production by means of electrolysis has become a key technology in the energy transition. Choosing the right seals is crucial to ensure that electrolysers operate reliably, efficiently and safely. They prevent leaks, ensure the separation of gas chambers and contribute significantly to the service life of the entire system.
BIM: Pipeline construction in the digital transformation
21.08.2024
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is at the heart of the digital transformation in the construction industry, particularly in the field of pipeline construction. The method is based on the creation and use of virtual, multidimensional models – known as digital twins – for the planning, execution and operation of buildings.
