Metal treatment
The fact that modern manufacturing procedures speed up processes and are therefore more efficient and less expensive, means that they offer an important competitive advantage. In the field of metal treatment, it is Sauer compressors that allow you to benefit from this advantage. Working together with our customers, we develop innovative, integrated system solutions, i. e. systems that allow you not only to supply a process with gases but also to remove them again and store them for use in the next step. Users also benefit from the particularly low leakage rates of our gas compressors and from our turn-key installations, some of which have a flexible design.

Checking and testing
All products which are to be used under a certain pressure must undergo initial testing at a pressure which is many times greater than that required. If necessary, their gas tightness must also be checked when using highly volatile gases. Although water was previously used to carry out pressure checks, an improved procedure involving air or nitrogen is now used instead. During leakage checks, Sauer compressors help to recycle the gas which escapes, e. g. helium and then return it to the process. The advantages are plain to see. Individual process steps, for example, cleaning and drying during water checks, are shortened or can be removed entirely. In addition, the loss of expensive gases can be avoided.

Plastic forming
In the complex field of plastic forming, more and more customers are relying on Sauer compressors given their reliability and the uncomplicated, rapid service offered by the company. In this sector, it is particularly important to have a continuous supply of compressed air available in order to avoid production downtime. For mass production (where many of our customers operate ), failure to produce the required number of units can ultimately decide whether or not a company can continue to exist. With its 24 /7 design, the Sauer compressor is able to operate even in the most difficult environmental conditions and is, therefore, the ideal compressor to meet the requirements of customers in this particular sector.

Laser metal cutting
The cutting of metals with the help of a laser has replaced traditional mechanical methods and offers clear advantages. For example, the processes involved are shortened and the cut surfaces are not contaminated by the material of the cutting dies. However, the laser environment must be free from ambient air if an optimum cut is to be achieved. To ensure that this is the case, nitrogen is used. This nitrogen is preferably produced on-site using the pressure swing adsorption (PSA) process or membranes. This helps to ensure that companies are not reliant on gas suppliers. After the PSA process has been carried out, Sauer compressors are used to boost the nitrogen to a pressure of 580–4350 psig (40–300 bar).
The higher pressure of 4350 psig (300 bar) offers particular advantages as it enables large amounts of gas which are normally sufficient for a number of days to be stored quickly. Not only do users benefit from greater operational reliability, but they also do not need to operate their high-pressure compressor for such long periods and can therefore take advantage of the times where cheaper energy tariffs apply. In addition, a great deal less extra equipment is required upstream when a pressure of 4350 psig (300 bar) is used.

Nitrogen – Generation and storage
Nitrogen plays an essential role in many other applications as well. Sauer compressors are a popular choice when it comes to storing large amounts of gas so that it is available quickly and in sufficient quantities when carrying out the desired processes. There is a good reason for this. Each Sauer gas compressor is engineered to offer the high level of flexibility required to satisfy an extremely wide range of requirements such as different suction pressures, final pressures, or gas quality.
As a result, they are frequently used in a variety of medium and high-pressure applications.

Manufacturing composite materials
The manufacture of composite materials is also part of the processing industry. In both the wooden materials and plastics industry, different materials are pressed together under the influence of pressure and heat in order to produce materials with special characteristic properties. In the field of plastics, so-called autoclaves (special pressurized containers which can be sealed in order to be gas-tight) are used. Sauer compressors offer an efficient way of ensuring that the necessary pressure is available for these processes.
