5.6. is "World Environment Day".

With our "oil-free technology" we make our contribution.

Dürr Technik's very first piston compressor was designed as an oil-free compressor. Initially, the focus was on "oil-free" mainly because of the clean compressed air for medical applications and the low maintenance required for cleaning and replacing valves and nozzles. However, "oil-free" has also paid off for the customer in terms of lower operating costs.

In recent years, the topic of environmental protection has moved further into the focus of consumers and environmentally friendly products are in demand.

We are very happy to be able to offer our customers both: an economical and environmentally friendly solution with our oil-free compressors. Because Dürr Technik's oil-free technology means less waste of resources, less hazardous waste and less contaminated air.

Oil-free compressors and pumps from Dürr Technik make an active contribution to protecting the environment in many areas of everyday life, e.g.

In the railway sector: Did you know that Dürr Technik is the first manufacturer of oil-free compressors for rail vehicles and supplies the most compressor variants worldwide in the rail sector?

For automotive applications: Compressors that have their own motor drive with high efficiency can significantly reduce energy consumption, especially in the e-mobility sector.

At gas stations: For decades, our high-quality vapour recovery pumps at petrol stations worldwide have ensured that petrol vapours are optimally extracted and do not escape into the environment.

Materials Management 4.0

Digital transformation at Dürr Technik: Dürr Technik is facing up to digital change in the field of materials management. The comprehensive restructuring of materials management ensures, among other things, process reliability, faster and more economical processing as well as secure traceability.

We have opted for an integrated material management system with digital networking from Kardex, a leading Swiss supplier of warehouse systems. The old large parts warehouse was replaced by a new one. Now we are tackling the storage of small parts. Here, small parts are stored in Kardex shuttles and the picking processes are controlled digitally. In this process, the system produces a traceability label for each part, for example. This means that every product can be assigned 100% and individual identification is possible.

Materials management 4.0 also has a lot to do with real-time: data processing should run almost simultaneously with the corresponding processes in reality. As a result, materials management will in future "press" the material into production instead of waiting for it to be "requested". Everyone will benefit!
