KFE Special customer requirements Applications Overview Presses Machine Tools Automatization + Feeders Lifting Gear + Mobile Hydraulics Production Technology Special Machinery CAD Download Contact Electric Locking Unit The electric Locking Unit KFE is used as a stepless locking device on round rods and holds axial forces in both load directions without axial play. It is used where hydraulic or pneumatic solutions are not possible. The holding force is created by the proven spring-operated clamping system as it is used in SITEMA’s hydraulically or pneumatically operated Locking Units. At a drop of the control voltage or in case of failure of the electric supply, the Locking Unit KFE clamps automatically. Therefore, it is also suitable for use in safety relevant applications. To operate the Locking Unit KFE, a supply voltage of 24 V and a control signal for the input command “clamp/release” are sufficient. The Locking Unit is self-monitoring and provides output signals...

KRM Electric Locking Unit KFE Special customer requirements Applications Overview Presses Machine Tools Automatization + Feeders Lifting Gear + Mobile Hydraulics Production Technology Special Machinery CAD Download Contact Mechanical Safety Catcher The Mechanical Safety Catcher KRM is operated purely mechanically and requires neither a hydraulic nor a pneumatic system for control. The clamping head is kept open mechanically and acts upon rupture of the suspension (rope, belt, chain, etc.). The energy of the falling mass is then used to generate the clamping force. In applications where lifted loads can be dangerous in case of rupture of the suspension device, Safety Catchers KRM are used to protect people and assure accident prevention. Safety Catchers KRM secure the load at any point of the stroke in a mechanically safe and absolutely reliable way. Due to the principle of self-reinforcing clamping, a very high level of safety is reached. Application example Packing...

Mechanical Safety Catcher KRM Electric Locking Unit KFE Special customer requirements Applications Overview Presses Machine Tools Automatization + Feeders Lifting Gear + Mobile Hydraulics Production Technology Special Machinery CAD Download Contact Auto Bleeder The SITEMA Auto Bleeder has been specially designed for the use with a SITEMA clamping head. It makes sure that the hydraulic system is constantly bled. Air bubbles in the hydraulic fluid might combust spontaneously under certain conditions (so-called Diesel effect). As a consequence, seals and sealing surfaces can be damaged, causing leakages. Clamping heads are especially susceptible for this phenomenon, as they have only a very small hydraulic volume and are not flushed through at each activation. Air can therefore easily accumulate in the clamping head. This is the reason why the usual initial bleeding at commissioning is often not enough, especially when the line leading to the clamping head points upwards...

More space to work – let the rods out! In particular applications, it can be necessary that the rod leaves the clamping head, e.g. for reasons of accessibility or restrictions regarding space that do not allow a rod that is permanently in place. Especially in applications where moulds are closed and kept closed against high forces with the SITEMA PowerStroke, it is a big advantage when the rod can leave the clamping head. Thus, the rods are no obstacle when taking finished parts out of the mould or when handling parts. With certain modifications, most of our series can be adapted as special designs to allow the rod leaving and re-entering the clamping head. We have already realised a great number of such solutions for vertical and horizontal applications. Contact us for more information!

This unit has the advantage to hold the load immediately upon rupture of the suspension device. Additional sensors to detect rupture of a chain are not necessary. On the other hand, it is not possible to activate the KRM in a user-defined position without rupture of the suspension device, e.g. for maintenance purposes. Here, the Mechanical Valve Actuator MVA comes to your rescue. It is simply put between the suspension device and the...

All pneumatic SITEMA clamping heads with an operating pressure of up to 4 bar and an operating volume of up to 220 cm³ can be pneumatically controlled by the EPM. It is also possible to operate several clamping heads in parallel with one EPM. The EPM is controlled by a 24V supply and switching voltage. The outlet pressure which is required to open or keep open a pneumatic clamping head is controlled by a control signal. If the voltage fails or the input signal is switched off, the pressure is...

In particular applications, it can be necessary to hold high axial forces and torque at the same time. For pneumatic operation, our Locking Unit series KFPD meets this demand. Depending in the size, forces / torques of 12 kN / 120 Nm or 30 kN / 500 Nm can be held securely. The “normal” SITEMA Locking Units KFH are already able to hold smaller torque. Example: 280 Nm with, at the same time, an axial holding force of 100 kN on rod diameter 56. In case higher torque needs to be held, SITEMA’s special design series KFHD can help. With this design, it is possible to hold torque with a factor of 10 higher compared to the standard KFH unit. Example: 2800 Nm with, at the same time, an axial holding force of 100 kN on rod diameter 56. Whether the operation is pneumatic or hydraulic, the application is limited to static holding. The KFPD and KFHD can prevent a rotation from starting, but are not suitable to brake rotating masses.

Depending on the industrial sector, more or less complex processes take place with more or less difficult media. These media are needed either for the production process itself or for supporting processes and can have very special properties. Thanks to the VERINOX used, Lipp can tailor the tank material exactly to medium and process and thus offer the best technical and economic solution. Parts and accessories can also be individually selected and installed according to the project. This means that Lipp system solutions can be considered both for simple solutions such as part of a fire protection system, but also for complex requirements, such as in the pharmaceutical and beverage industry. So much flexibility in terms of the possibilities for use is a powerful argument for cooperation with Lipp. Engineering offices gain a partner who covers a wide range of applications and provides the same high quality worldwide.

ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE, MAINTENANCE FREE AND PROTECTED AGAINST EXTERNAL EFFECTS The pressureless gas storage system of Lipp is used for the storage of gas produced on landfill sites, waste water treatment plants and also as external storage on biogas plants. The system is determined by its robust and technical advanced construction where the gas balloon is protected by a galvanized steel tank. This protects the balloon against UV light and also other external factors. The system is mostly utilized at landfill sites or WWTP to buffer the gas before its further processing. The experience gained during the past decades has improved the complete system and the single components and makes it a perfect choice for end users and general contractors.

SYSTEM SOLUTIONS FOR MUNICIPAL WASTE WATER TREATMENT Lipp has for many decades been an established partner of municipal waste water treatment plants, engineers and general contractors in the field of tank and system solutions for municipal waste water treatment. Due to their method of construction as well as flexibility in the choice of materials and ideal diameter – height ratios, Lipp tank and system solutions are especially suitable for the needs of small to large sewage treatment plants. They are ideally tailored to one another, but may also be embedded as individual island solutions into existing systems and are therefore equally popular with planners and end users alike. The stainless steels used and the double seaming guarantee maximum water tightness and durability with low maintenance for a wide variety of waste waters, slurries, process liquids and gases. The versatility in terms of the system solutions offered for municipal waste water treatment plants

Lipp tank and system solutions for municipal waste water treatment have been realised in close cooperation with well known design companies and end customers since the 1980s. In addition to municipal waste water treatment plants in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France and other European countries, the Lipp system has already been successfully installed in many Asiatic projects. Lipp waste water tanks are offered in variable sizes and with individually adapted features (material, covers, additional equipment). Our success lies in professional management and close cooperation with all stakeholders over the entire project period. Reliable tank solutions, timely installation and numerous reference plants both in Germany and worldwide make Lipp an important partner in municipal waste water treatment.

Settling and floating layers are avoided by horizontal and vertical mixing. Before plant construction, coordination takes place with the future plant operator to determine the optimum stirring technology based on the respective substrates. Operational safety is ensured by the closed reaction chamber, the external drive for the agitator and the externally mounted electric drives. Variable dimensions and substrate flexible stirring technology also allow the use of difficult substrates. The wall heating system, externally mounted on the fermenter wall, ensures optimum fermentation conditions and a high gas yield. FAST ASSEMBLY – LESS COST Low installation costs are possible by using the Lipp dual seam system and on site production. If the foundation slab is provided along with assistance during assembly, costs fall still further.

SYSTEM SOLUTIONS FOR THE STORAGE OF SLURRY Following the further development of the Lipp dual seam system and the container material it was possible not only to build silos for bulk materials, but also silos for the storage of liquids, such as liquid manure. Since slurry is also rather more aggressive and can attack concrete or similar vessels, especially over the years, Lipp always offers its system solutions for the storage of slurry in principle in V2A stainless steel (1.4301), when it is clear that the tank will remain open. Possible changes are also taken into account with the customer during the planning process and in case of a future modification of the slurry tank consideration is given to an alternative material (V4A) or the possibility of a subsequent roof construction. Thus, the container retains its flexibility and can later be converted into a fermenter, secondary fermenter or other container.

SYSTEM SOLUTIONS FOR THE STORAGE OF CEREAL PASTE AND SUGAR BEET Lipp plans and sells storage systems for biomass such as cereal paste or sugar beet under the brand names LIGAVATOR and BETAVATOR. These systems are generally gas tight and both roof and container base (optional) are made of solid stainless steel, since the stored media can give rise to very aggressive juices and gases. With this type of storage the substances are preserved and can be used over a very long period. Automatic withdrawal and substrate delivery can also be installed in the following systems by an appropriate control system. APPLICATION EXAMPLES AND REFERENCES In addition to pure crop storage, the Lipp LIGAVATOR / BETAVATOR systems are mainly used as substrate storage for agricultural or industrial biogas plants, and are installed before the fermenter for appropriate substrate supply. They allow largely automated control of a biogas plant, as there is no need for a regular manual substrate supply.

SYSTEM SOLUTIONS FOR SILAGE SILOS The Lipp dual seam system was and still is the basis for Lipp’s sustained success over the last few decades. Silage silos were already being built for agriculture with this system in the 1960s. The Lipp dual seam system is still employed today for the construction of silos and system solutions used for the storage of silage. In addition to pure container construction, system solutions for silage silos also include other components that go far beyond the scope of supply of a simple container manufacturer. APPLICATION EXAMPLES & REFERENCES Lipp system solutions for silage are used for storage and preservation of silage in an above ground, cylindrical container. Corresponding filling and extraction systems, roof and floor structures round off the scope of supply. A large number of the silage silos installed decades ago are still in operation today and provide proof of the high quality standard and extremely long service life.

Lipp systems are modular and can be extended, modified or integrated into existing systems WITH EASE. Biogas plants from Lipp are based on the so called, wet fermentation. Through a 2 stage process, i.e., via regulation by an upstream hydrolysis stage or other substrate pre treatment, input materials are prepared so that the anaerobic process can run optimally in the digester. Since it is the most flexible and the biological processes are best kept controllable Lipp favours the SBR process. This is also particularly suitable for anaerobic wastewater treatment, sludge digestion and is also used in agricultural biogas deposits. This means first that Lipp biogas plants are substrate flexible and allow an intensive use of the available digester area. Secondly, that with low self sustaining energy requirements, a high degradation rate is achieved. It is interesting to note that Lipp’s digester can be operated not just in the SBR process (Sequence Batch Reactor).

FOR VARIOUS INDUSTRIES AND A VARIETY OF APPLICATIONS LIPP bulk silos are being used from a variety of industries and companies for different applications. Since decades, LIPP silos are used for the storage of grain in flower mills or as storage for animal feed in the agricultural sector. Also the furniture and wood industry is using LIPP silos to store wood chips or saw dust. ADVANTAGES OF LIPP BULK STORAGE A growing application is the storage of pallets for biomass plants. Different manufacturing companies are using LIPP bulk material silos as storage of buffer for their raw materials. The enhanced stability coming from the Double Fold System allows to construction of silos with big diameter and height ratio, with free carrying roofs as well as a fast filling and extraction. The silos can be built in closed manufacturing halls or building, very narrow installation sites and on high steel or concrete structures.

CONTAINER AND SYSTEM SOLUTIONS FOR THE INTERMEDIATE STORAGE OF HEAT FROM WASTE HEAT OR RENEWABLE ENERGIES The intermediate storage of heat from biogas plants, biomass cogeneration plants or other heat sources is an important prerequisite for effective use. Lipp buffer tank systems are economic system solutions for the storage and supply of thermal energy and can be easily integrated into customised solutions for local heat supply. LIPP BUFFER STORAGE TANKS The individually tailored solution appropriate to heat storage requirements with useful volumes of 80 to 3,000 m³ is made of stainless steel with the Lipp dual seam system and operated in conjunction with insulation adjusted to the application at about 95 ° C. Since the Lipp system is unpressurised, the container solutions are extremely low maintenance and are very durable. The high volume, above ground Lipp storage tanks have been specially developed for this application and are popular with end users and energy suppliers alike.

WASTE TO ENERGY INDUSTRY BIOGAS FROM ANAEROBIC WASTE WATER TREATMENT AND WASTE FERMENTATION PLANTS. Due to their technical characteristics and profitability, Lipp tank and system solutions are used in a variety of industrial biogas plants. Two areas of application can be distinguished, which in many cases also follow both objectives. APPROPRIATE PROCESS TECHNOLOGY, SUITABLE CONTAINER TECHNOLOGY AND THE RIGHT DIMENSIONSFirst, the anaerobic treatment of various industrial waste waters, such as in food production, biofuels or similar. The main objective here is the anaerobic pretreatment of highly contaminated but easily degradable waste water to reduce the COD load before it can go to the next stage of aerobic waste water treatment. The challenge is that in spite of the low DM content, a high degree of degradation is achieved by biomass retention or return and at the same time, biogas is produced. Due to the flexibility and variability of the Lipp system in terms of procedures

HIGH QUALITY TANKS AND SYSTEM SOLUTIONS FOR MORE THAN 50 YEARS

Gas storage systems by Lipp have been successfully installed in more than 300 projects in Germany and worldwide. The gas storage capacity extends from 30 to 5,000 m³. The gas resistant PVC gas holder is protected by a galvanised steel cylinder. The self supporting roof is made of 1.4301 high grade stainless steel. The Lipp gas holder is offered as a complete system, including sensors and built in parts as well as steel construction, and can be easily integrated into an existing system. The main area of application of the Lipp gas holder is municipal waste water treatment plants and landfills which want to balance out fluctuations in gas production and at the same time need a buffer store for possible downtimes. A further gas holder may also be of interest for direct marketing of biogas, where feed in at certain times is necessary. The Lipp gas holder is especially attractive when considering the fact that electricity cannot be stored. But (bio) gas, which is used for power generation

SYSTEM SOLUTIONS FOR SEWAGE SLUDGE DIGESTION In the municipal sector, the focus is on the production of biogas from sewage sludge. The aim is to make the energy potential of the primary and secondary sludge from anaerobic sludge digestion usable. On the one hand heat and electrical power is obtained for operation of the sewage plant. On the other hand, the sludge is conditioned so that the other aerobic process stages can run more efficiently and thus more cost effectively. The Lipp KomBio reactor has established itself as an ideal solution in the municipal sector due to its construction and long service life and has been successfully installed in hundreds of plants at home and abroad. Thanks to the application of the SBR process in our digesters, and the tank geometry and construction, it is possible to make optimum use of the low energy potential of the sewage sludge and operate sewage sludge digestion economically.
