World's most powerful clutch-operated screw press

摘要

The purpose of this new 20 meter high facility was not to establish a new world record as an end in itself, but to gain specific benefits. The targets that were achieved include a duplication of the production capacity, an extension of the product line plus cost-effective operation. In addition, higher production will in the medium term create 100 new qualified jobs at Bonier Schmiedetechnik. The new Eumuco-Hasenclever screw press is part of a major investment scheme worth around EUR 28 million. In addition to the screw press, which including the foundation block weighs more than 6,000 tons, a new rotary hearth furnace, a die preheating furnace, manipulators and the necessary infrastructure for the facilities were set up. Bohler's decision to install a clutch-operated screw press was based on both quality, strategic as well as economic aspects.
