Tailored testing technology for increasingly challenging tube and bar applications

BÜLTMANN production lines focus on reliably meeting increasingly demanding quality requirements from customers. The reliable recording and permanent monitoring of quality characteristics is one of the biggest challenges. This applies both to non-destructive testing units for tubes and bars, in the eddy current and ultrasonic fields, as well as to geometry and surface testing. Specially tailored Bültmann testing technology, which can be equipped with customer-supplied equipment, or with Bültmann measuring and testing units developed in-house, helps to meet these challenging demands. The systems are connected to the corresponding production facilities and can also be interlinked with customer Level 2 systems in order to directly transmit and evaluate quality data online in terms of Industry 4.0 requirements. The recently created specialised department – Bültmann 4.0 – provides the latest developments for various measuring and testing technologies that can be used for a number of different applications. Currently available, or in the near future, are: complete mechanics for non-destructive testing systems; geometry measuring systems; surface measuring systems; straightness

measuring systems; vib- ration measuring systems (in cooperation with a renowned partner). The focus is on practice oriented solutions that also work reliably in industrial use under production conditions with corresponding ambient influences.

THE Diana Unit by Condoroil Chemicals has been designed for net oil and the paraffinic solvents regeneration in line with a circular economy model. The spent products are no longer considered a cost and, in fact, they can become a valuable economical resource to recover. During the use of the net
