Wehrhahn Plant Support - experience report

Producers of building materials always focus on staying ahead of competition.

Wehrhahn provides expert assistance to producers by keeping an analytical eye on their production process, identifying cost saving potentials and suitable opportunities for improvement. 

Which benefits have Wehrhahn customers recently experienced after support services have been rendered?

In two plants EUR 300.000,00 respectively more than EUR 400.000,00 savings in annual production costs could be generated. In two other plants, some basic faults could be detected and the shortcomings have been remedied - the result was a 50% reduced reject rate.

Several trainings on site or at the Wehrhahn headquarters have been carried out and the staff members could boost and update their knowledge. The training was followed by additional visits on site to deepen the first lessons. Numerous letters of appreciation have proven the successful performance of Wehrhahn plant support. We will gladly provide more information upon request. Please contact us!

 

Turkmenistan: Third Wehrhahn plant starts operation

Beyik Bina in Ashgabat, a major Turkmenistan construction group, invested into two Wehrhahn production lines for building materials.

Beyik Bina's dry mix plant from Wehrhahn successfully operates already for some time.

The Wehrhahn SMART AAC production plant has recently started operation.

First step is block production. However, the plant is fully equipped for panel production. Beyik Bina - a very innovative group - is enthusiastic that panels are the ideal material for prefab homes. Beyik Bina will use the AAC panels for huge multi-home housing projects. Fast and economical home building is a key issue in countries with rapidly growing population.

This will be the first large scale panel production in Central Asia possibly to be adapted in neighbouring countries.

A few years ago, the President of Turkmenistan celebrated the inauguration of the first Wehrhahn AAC block and panel plant, also in Ashgabat.

 

 

 

 

Advanced AAC superSMART plant for H+H Celcon U.K.

H+H Celcon ordered an all new superSMART plant for their site in Borough Green (London, U.K.).

It took almost three years for the project teams of Celcon and Wehrhahn to mutually develop a highly sophisticated "all new" concept for this exceptional plant. Many new and innovative features will be incorporated in this project. The new factory will enable H+H Celcon to maintain and strenghten their leading position in the AAC market in the U.K.

In 2018 H+H Celcon will start the production of fly ash based blocks in the most advanced AAC plant around the globe - a new milestone in the history of H+H Celcon and Wehrhahn! 

 

Stärken in Malaysia sets up second Wehrhahn AAC plant

Shortly after the first plant in Kuala Lumpur has started production, Stärken decided to set up the second plant in the southern part of Malaysia near the border to Singapore.

With the new second plant the story of success for Stärken continues. The superSMART plant is designed to produce blocks and panels of highest quality.

This project impressively emphasizes Wehrhahn's leading position for advanced AAC production plants in Southeast Asia.

Automatic sorting & packing of supersmooth AAC panels for Emsländer Baustoffwerke

A new plant to automatically palletize, commission and pack supersmooth AAC wall panels allowing simultaneous inspection on quality: This was the requirement of the long-term Wehrhahn customer.

Therefore Wehrhahn designed this plant consequently according to the special requirements of Emsländer Baustoffwerke and supplied and installed it early 2016. The start-up went smoothly and the new plant is now good for:

  • piece by piece inspection of supersmooth wall panels
  • automatic palletizing in exact quantities as needed on the respective building site
  • fully automatic packing by means of wooden pallets, straps and shrink film

 

 

   

Wehrhahn Autoclave Control "WACO"

"What are you doing Mr. Müggenburg?"

"Here in China I am installing with the company Baopeng a further Wehrhahn WACO autoclave control for a superSMART AAC production plant."

More than 700 autoclaves are operating world-wide in Wehrhahn plants for AAC blocks and panels, fibre cement and calcium silicate boards. Most of them are equipped with the well-proven Wehrhahn WACO control.

 

These are the benefits of WACO - Wehrhahn Autoclave Control:

  • Energy consumption is considerably reduced due to flow measuring of steam.
  • The quality of the final products is more consistent due to precise control of the pressure curves in the autoclaves by using a reliable industrial control unit totally independent of the operator's PC.
  • Pneumatically operated and/or motor-driven valves can be controlled by the WACO-system. Therefore this system can be used in all industrial sectors.
