Utilising advanced technology Compressed air is an essential utility required in many stages of the manufacturing process at Victor. This includes powering a lot of the production machinery used to produce the footwear uppers and soles such as the lasting machines - which draws, stretches and bends the upper of the boots.

Another key piece of production machinery that depends on a reliable supply of compressed air to operate, are the direct injection moulding machines.

Representing the latest and most technically advanced method of attaching soles to footwear uppers - here the advanced dual density soles of all Mongrel Boots are directly injected onto an upper.

Victor recently invested in a new 30 station DESMA direct injection moulding machine in order to be able to keep

up with growing demand. Adding this additional machinery to the factory meant that the compressed air requirement would also increase.

To ascertain whether the existing compressed air system could meet this increased demand or any additional compressed air equipment may be required, Victor contacted their longstanding compressed air partner KAESER Compressors - for a solution.

After assessing the new compressed air requirements that the additional direct injection moulding machine would create, KAESER recommended and subsequently installed a BSD 65 T series rotary screw compressor with integrated refrigeration dryer.

A reliable and efficient solution With its latest generation of BSD series rotary screw compressors, KAESER pushes the boundaries of compressed

air availability and efficiency even further.

Not only do they deliver more compressed air for less energy, but they also combine user-friendliness and ease of maintenance with exceptional versatility and environmentally responsible design.

The BSD series of rotary screw compressors from KAESER save energy in numerous ways: At the heart of every BSD rotary screw compressor lies a premium quality screw compressor block featuring KAESER’s energy saving SIGMA PROFILE rotors.

Flow optimised for impressive performance, these advanced rotors help KAESER BSD systems set the highest standards in terms of specific output.

Furthermore, they feature a superpremium efficiency IE4 drive motor as standard, for unrivalled levels of performance and energy efficiency.

'Having reliable air compressors - backed up with service and support - is critical to our operation’ KAESER is currently the only compressed air systems provider to equip some of its compressors with IE4 drive motors.

to be dried. As a result, the required compressed air quality is achieved with maximum energy efficiency.

In addition, the BSD units are controlled and monitored by the industrial PC based SIGMA CONTROL 2 compressor controller. This advanced controller matches compressed air delivery to actual current demand and keeps costly idling time to an absolute minimum, thanks to its Dynamic control mode.

They are also designed to use R-513A refrigerant, which has a very low GWP (Global Warming Potential) value. This means that these efficient dryers will be future-proof for their entire life cycle.

The T units are equipped with a highly efficient integrated refrigeration dryer featuring energy saving control. This means that the dryer is only activated when compressed air actually needs

The perfect fit!

Since installation of the BSD 65 T, Victor Footwear has also replaced some ageing compressors, which included the recent additional installation of a KAESER AIRCENTER SK 25 all-in-one compressed air system and two ASK 34 T rotary screw compressors with

integrated refrigeration dryers.

Phillip Cloros, Brand Manager at Victor Footwear and part of the fifth-generation of the family operating the business said: ‘We rely on our compressed air system to keep our key production machines operating daily. Having reliable air compressors - backed up with service and support - is therefore critical to our operation.

KAESER has been our compressed air partner for many years now due to the proven reliability of the equipment and a service department that we know we can rely on to always keep us running - even if any issues arise.’

A well orchestrated symphony Every part of a compressed air station, whether it be the compressors, compressed air treatment components or distribution system, should operate as efficiently as possible for its own sake.

Modern compressors and compressed air treatment components are therefore equipped with internal controllers based on industrial PC technology. But these components are not individual players – they must act together as a team, and a team works best when it is perfectly coordinated. A sophisticated compressed air management system is therefore required to perform this particular function.

the most efficient switching operations based on compressed air consumption profile analysis and equipment and system behaviour, in relation to the prevailing technical operating conditions.

Decisions are no longer dictated by a narrow pressure range. Instead, the key is to achieve the lowest possible compressed air production costs through intelligent, energy-saving switching strategies.

Here, the physical meets the virtual world within the framework of a structural model such as SIGMA SMART AIR from KAESER, in which the specific compressed air system - configured according to the operator's requirements - is represented virtually by a digital twin. Operating data from the

The SIGMA AIR MANAGER 4.0 (SAM 4.0) from KAESER is an example of a progressive and Industrie 4.0-ready compressed air management system, that binds all individual components into a complete team, monitoring and controlling them so that the required volume of compressed air is available at all times, at the required quality.

Advanced management systems must successfully meet some highly demanding challenges. Not least, they must be capable of predictive compressor control, taking into account a range of contributing factors, such as switching losses, control losses, etc. However, modern master controllers are now expected to to do far more than optimise compressor operation according to current demand.

Efficiency is playing an ever-increasing role.

Embracing Industrie 4.0-ready compressed air technology in the age of COVID-19

As we navigate our way through the COVID-19 pandemic, embracing Industrie 4.0 technologies has never been so important or timely. Here we discuss how the latest Industrie 4.0-ready compressed air technology can assist end users in optimising the availability, reliability and efficiency of their compressed air system through the current pandemic and beyond.

right time. Ultimately, the end user benefits from significantly reduced compressed air production and operating costs, as well as improved compressed air availability.

The combination of remote diagnostics and demand-oriented predictive maintenance ensures maximum compressed air supply availability and complete system effectiveness; preventing unplanned downtime, increasing energy efficiency, reducing service costs by up to 30 percent and delivering demand optimised

compressed air system control throughout the system’s entire life cycle.

Remote and real-time monitoring Probably one of the greatest advantages of such advanced compressed air technology in the current Coronavirus situation - where some facilities may still have staff working remotely, where the number of people in a facility may have been reduced, and where many facilities are still limiting access to suppliers - is the ability to remotely monitor a

compressed air system in real-time.

From a PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone - the SAM 4.0’s integrated web server provides a visual display of all compressed air system data in the form of HTML pages. All operational and energy consumption data, as well as cost information, can therefore be called up on any network-compatible device anytime, anywhere.

In addition, the end user can choose to configure the system so they receive alarm and maintenance messages for individual components as well as timely warnings or service requirement notifications via email or text message.

And, where the end user integrates an advanced compressed air management system with a service model such as KAESER SIGMA SMART AIR, they have the added peace of mind that a team of compressed air experts are also monitoring the real-time data from their compressed air system and acting accordingly.

Conclusion At the best of times a fully networked compressed air system offers the end user numerous benefits. However, many of these benefits, from remote monitoring and diagnostics, to achieving the lowest possible compressed air production costs through intelligent, energy-saving switching strategies - are even more advantageous in the current climate.

Meeting Geofabrics energy efficiency requirements

Australia’s largest manufacturer of geosynthetic products recently installed a low pressure KAESER ESD 245 rotary screw compressor at its Albury manufacturing plant in regional NSW. Replacing an ageing compressor, the new KAESER compressor is assisting Geofabrics in continuing to meet its sustainability goals.

nability the fabric

Geofabrics Australasia is Australia’s largest manufacturer and supplier of a range of highly engineered geosynthetics for the building and infrastructure sector.

The core capabilities are across the Road, Rail, Waste, Mining, Coastal, Water, Recreation and Slopes & Wall segments. Geofabrics has a presence throughout Australia, New Zealand, PNG and the Pacific.

Geofabrics is a proud Australian manufacturer and has two manufacturing plants, one in Albury (NSW) and in Ormeau (Queensland) and contributes to Australia’s sovereign infrastructure construction capabilities.

On every project, Geofabrics has a singular focus: to provide smarter infrastructure solutions for their clients.

KAESER report | 11

Manufacturing innovative geosynthetic solutions As the Australasian leader in geotextiles and geosynthetics, Geofabrics delivers engineering support and technical leadership through a focus on innovation, research, industry education, design and independent testing services.

Simply, Geofabrics’ products are a key component in building Australia’s critical infrastructure; our roads, railways, landfills and resources (mining, oil & gas).

One example of the products manufactured by Geofabrics is bidim® Green geotextile, a variant to its existing world-leading ‘Bidim’ range, which contains Australian-sourced recycled plastics (think of recycled drink bottles) and is a green innovation that came amid increasing calls for greater sustainability in the construction and infrastructure industry.

Both effective and economical, bidim Green is a superior geosynthetic solution for a range of engineering problems including weak soil, rutted and cracked roads, as well as liquid and gas leaks from landfill sites. It can be used for example, in the construction of roads, railways and embankments where the ground is soft and unstable.

Using a layer of geotextile to separate the 12 | KAESER report

soft ground from the fill material reduces the amount of fill required, increases the lifespan of the road or rail structure, and reduces long-term maintenance costs.

Sustainable practices save energy and money Geofabrics is committed to contributing to a positive impact on the environment and to manufacture and supply products that reduce reliance on non-renewable resources and reduce waste to landfill.

This includes making the company’s use of resources more efficient through lean manufacturing and a process of continuous improvement. As a result, Geofabrics has won many awards over the years including the 2019 Australian Exporter of the Year, the 20172019 Victorian Exporter of the Year (Environmental Solutions), and the 2018 AusTrade Australian Export Award for Environmental Solutions.

These awards recognise outstanding international success in environmental solutions, clean energy innovation and energy efficiency.

It is no surprise then, that when Geofabrics Process Improvement Engineer Ashish Swarup began the procurement process to replace an ageing compressor at the Albury manufacturing plant - selecting an energy efficient solution was a key criterion.

Compressed air is an essential utility required to operate many functions at both of Geofabrics manufacturing plants - one in Albury (NSW) and one in southern Queensland.

One crucial role is using compressed air in the filament drawing process.

Reliably delivering clean compressed air is critical in fulfilling this process.

Unfortunately, the ageing compressor at the Albury manufacturing plant was becoming less reliable.

Aside from finding a more reliable solution, as one of the largest energy consumers in the business, accounting for around one third of all electrical consumption, finding an energy efficient compressed air solution was therefore also very important.

The procurement process included evaluating a number of possible compressor options against five key criteria, including life cycle costing, reliability of asset and environmental impact, making the process very transparent.

All options were then given a total rating.

Thanks to a high overall rating backed up with technical advice and support, Geofabrics opted for a low pressure KAESER ESD 245 series rotary screw compressor to meet its requirements.

Energy efficiency as standard The ESD 245 is a specially built dedicated low pressure oil lubricated rotary screw compressor. Unique to KAESER it delivers flow rates up to 30.9 m3/min at pressures of 3.5 to 5 bar.

distinctive modern appearance.

Installed complete with a comprehensive air treatment package, this proved the ideal solution for Geofabrics.

The use of high performance IE4 drive motors maximise energy efficiency, whilst KAESER’s 1:1 drive design eliminates the transmission losses associated with gear or V-belt driven systems, as the motor directly drives the airend.

Not only would this solution reliably deliver large volumes of high quality and clean compressed air, but as a highly efficient dedicated low pressure compressor - the ESD 245 would also easily create in excess of 30 percent energy savings compared to a ‘standard’ pressure 7 bar screw compressor of a similar size.

KAESER Compressors pushes the boundaries of compressed air efficiency and availability once again with its latest generation of ESD series rotary screw compressors.

Intelligent design solutions have not only led to enhanced ease of operation and serviceability, but also give this series of class-defining compressors their

Delivering improved specific power, the flow-optimised and further refined SIGMA PROFILE rotors provide the foundation for exceptional energy efficiency.

KAESER is currently the only compressed air systems provider to equip its compressors with super premium efficiency IE4 class motors.

Furthermore, the radial fan fulfils the efficiency requirements for fans as per EU directive 327/2011.

ensures even greater energy efficiency: for example, all service and maintenance points are within easy reach and are directly accessible from the front of the unit. This not only saves time and money when performing service work, but also maximises compressed air system availability.

Ashish Swarup concludes: ‘Selecting energy efficient equipment is a large part of our sustainability practices and our commitment to keeping our carbon footprint to a minimum, and the KAESER compressor was therefore the right choice for us.

Up and running now for almost a year the compressor is reliably and energy efficiently meeting our compressed air requirements.’

The advanced SIGMA CONTROL 2 compressor controller also achieves additional energy savings and minimises cost-intensive idling periods through the use of a variety of specially developed control options.

Compressed air contracting

The current pandemic may well have derailed your capital expenditure plans - even though your requirements may not have changed. If that’s the case, how can you achieve the same compressed air system upgrades you need without the initial capital expenditure outlay? Compressed air contracting - or just buying the actual compressed air you need - may well deliver the answer. In this blog post we discuss what compressed air contracting is and the benefits you could realise by selecting this option.

There are other ways to bring the compressed air you require into your operations besides the simple purchase of a compressed air system. Especially in the current economic climate, it may be well worthwhile to look into contracting options rather than acquiring your own equipment.

As an essential utility, like electricity, gas and water, it is possible to simply just pay for the compressed air you actually use.

Compressed air contracting offers many benefits compared to the conventional approach of compressed air system operation. The user immediately reaps the benefits of a cost-effective and energy efficient compressed air supply without having to make the initial investment.

Scan the code to learn more

The contracting partner handles the planning, installation and operation of the system, based on the needs and specifications of the system operator.

In this way the user avoids having to invest in a compressed air station, is saved the working hours and expense of servicing and maintaining the equipment, and converts fixed costs into immediately deductible variable operating costs by purchasing only the

compressed air at a contractually agreed fixed price per cubic metre.

Operation and servicing of the compressed air supply by the system provider ensures energy-efficient and reliable operation, as the provider also has an interest in adapting the station to changing operating conditions and to reflect state-of-the-art technology.

There are also benefits when it comes to maintenance. For example, SIGMA AIR UTILITY from KAESER is linked via Teleservice to the KAESER Service Centre: this ensures maximum compressed air efficiency and availability at all times through the latest energysaving technology, cost-effective remote diagnostics and preventive maintenance.

When an end users opts to purchase only the compressed air in the required volume and quality instead of buying a compressed air station, they benefit from greater cost transparency in their operations: instead of mixed costing, plant owners have a reliable basis for budgeting in the form of a fixed price per cubic metre of compressed air preagreed in a long-term contract.

The basic price for the entire contract period covers equipment and running costs as well as a baseline quantity of compressed air.

For compressed air deliveries over and above that quantity, the unit price is also contractually agreed.

Exact measurements guarantee that the customer is billed only for the volume of air actually drawn from the network.

Contracting is a particularly attractive compressed air supply option for customers looking for immediate energy efficiency improvements. For example, if top management imposes a short amortisation period of, let’s say, two years, the number of possible energy saving measures is severely limited, which effectively excludes the potential for modernisation. Outsourcing presents an elegant solution in such cases.

The potential savings achieved through compressed air contracting vary. When a company makes the switch, the contracting partner generally installs an entirely new compressed air system to ensure full utilisation of the entire energy saving potential.

The actual reduction in compressed air costs will depend on the system being replaced. However, savings of up to 30 percent are not uncommon.

This also applies over the long term, because the contracting partner, who is selling the compressed air at a fixed price, has the biggest incentive to operate the equipment as efficiently and economically as possible.

The partner will therefore use stateof-the-art technology at all times. This includes both energy-optimised, highefficiency compressors and intelligent compressed air management systems.

Thanks to efficient pressure band control, this technology makes it possible to reduce maximum system pressure and, as a result, to lower energy consumption drastically.

Food grade compressed air at Suntory Coffee

Keeping the

coffee comi

Suntory Coffee recently completed the build of New Zealand’s largest fresh coffee roasting operation and selected a KAESER AIRCENTER all-in-one compressed air station, complete with filtration and a DHS 4.0 air-mains charging system, to meet the facilities requirement for a reliable and dependable supply of food grade compressed air.

From a long black to a flat white and everything in between, whatever your coffee preference may be, the majority of us will enjoy a coffee or two every day. Suntory Coffee has been roasting, blending and grinding coffee since 1952.

The creators of the first wave of espresso in New Zealand, and the pioneers of the 1990’s cafe culture, Suntory Coffee is home to some of New Zealand's most loved, most consumed and most wellknown coffee brands such as Robert Harris, Orb Espresso & Bruno Rossi Coffee.

At the head office in Auckland, Suntory Coffee recently completed the build of New Zealand’s newest and largest fresh coffee roasting operation.

This purpose-built coffee roasting and warehousing operation is where many of the Suntory Coffee brands are processed ready for despatch to cafes, restaurants and supermarkets across New Zealand.

16 | KAESER report

Sourcing high quality & reliable equipment When Cameron Russell, Project Engineer at Suntory Coffee began planning the new purpose-built facility, the selection of equipment - including the compressed air system - was an important detail in developing a plant that would be durable and reliable.

Germany, the user-friendly AIRCENTER from KAESER Compressors is a complete turnkey system which incorporates a KAESER rotary screw compressor complete with the highly efficient SIGMA PROFILE screw compressor block - an energy efficient refrigeration dryer and an air receiver all in one space-saving compact package.

From coffee bean roasting, to powering control valves that select the required coffee bean silo, right through to grinding, blending, processing and packaging compressed air is an essential utility that would be required for many purposes within the new facility.

At the heart of the AIRCENTER’s rotary screw compressor lies a premium quality screw compressor block featuring the KAESER SIGMA PROFILE rotors.

Superior efficiency is assured with these flow-optimised rotors that are able to achieve power savings of up to 15 percent compared with conventional screw compressor block rotor profiles.

After considering a number of options, Suntory Coffee opted for an all-in-one KAESER AIRCENTER SK 25 compressed air station along with filtration and a DHS 4.0 air-mains charging system to meet these requirements.

In addition maximum energy savings and outstanding system performance are assured thanks to the inclusion of a premium efficiency IE3 motor which complies with and exceeds prevailing Australian GEMS regulations for 3 phase

ing electric motors.

The AIRCENTER is user- and maintenance- friendly. With the internal SIGMA CONTROL 2 controller, compressor performance can be easily controlled and monitored for optimum efficiency.

In addition all maintenance and service points are easy to access.

This significantly reduces the downtime associated with service and maintenance tasks and helps to increase compressed air availability and minimise operating costs.

Food grade standard compressed air As the coffee can come into contact with the compressed air at certain stages of production, it was essential that the compressed air system produced food grade standard compressed air.

KAESER report | 17

'When it comes to the KAESER compressed air equipment - it is absolutely meeting our requirements backed up with very good customer service'

To meet the air purity level required for food manufacture, the AIRCENTER at Suntory Coffee therefore operates with a food grade lubricant and filtration. In addition, a KAESER DHS 4.0 air-main charging system was installed.

The DHS 4.0 series electronic air-main charging system not only provides protection for the compressed air treatment components, but it also helps ensure reliable compressed air quality even following a complete shutdown of the compressed air supply system, for example at weekends.

Such a surge can lead to filter element damage and to a raised pressure dew point in the refrigeration dryer. As a result, contaminants such as oil, particulate matter and humidity are introduced into the pipe distribution network and the process air.

The DHS 4.0 eliminates these risks by guaranteeing necessary minimum pressure, which consequently ensures smooth network start-up and safe operation of the compressed air station.

During system operation, it also helps to ensure consistently high compressed air quality.

If a fault were to occur with a dryer or a filter, for example, the DHS 4.0 is able to shut down and isolate the affected treatment line. This not only assures consistent air quality, but also safeguards the pipe distribution network and the air consumers in the production facility.

By minimising the burden on compressed air treatment components, air receivers

and pipe networks and preventing surge loads caused by large changes in pressure from occurring, it consequently enables long service life, which in turn leads to considerably reduced costs.

Conclusion The new facility has now been in operation for over 18 months. Cameron Russell said: ‘From the coffee roasting right through to the processing facility - the selection of equipment for this project was really important in developing a plant with a high degree of reliability and performance.

Our selection of equipment has worked out to be a very good decision. And, when it comes to the KAESER compressed air equipment - it is absolutely meeting our requirements backed up with very good customer service.’
