Case Studies

The demands placed on components in the automotive industry are becoming more and more stringent - as a result, the requirements placed on manufacturers and suppliers in terms of cleanliness are also increasing.

In the course of the expansion of production at IWIS in Landsberg and the acquisition of new parts washing systems, project manager Henning Fritz and the person responsible for the parts washing systems also considered a new wastewater treatment system. Due to the good experiences with the company H2O GmbH at the location in Munich and a very successful, quality-improving test run in their own production, the decision to use a sustainable VACUDEST vacuum distillation system for this site as well was made.

In November 2013, AUDI AG opened its new production facilities in Münchsmünster. In the Industrial Park in Münchsmünster, located approximately 30 kilometres to the east of the main plant, an Audi competence centre was created for the production of bodywork structural parts made of die-cast aluminium, hot and cold formed pressed parts, as well as chassis components.

Sustainable and economical production - this was also the wish of the company ZINKPOWER Coating Schopsdorf in Saxony-Anhalt. The company specialises in the powder coating of steel, hot-dip galvanised steel and aluminium components. The company opted for a VACUDEST vacuum distillation system for the water treatment process.

Der MAN Standort Nürnberg ist innerhalb der MAN Truck & Bus Gruppe das internationale Kompetenzzentrum für die Entwicklung, die Produktion und den Vertrieb von Diesel- und Gasmotoren mit einem Leistungsspektrum von 37 kW bis 1.397 kW (50 PS bis 1.900 PS).

As a family-owned company with a long tradition spanning more than seven decades, ecological responsibility is a fundamental component of the Harting Technology Group's actions. Thus, the course towards wastewater-free production with the VACUDEST process was set early on at the main plant in Espelkamp. This fundamental decision in favour of ecologically sensible action in combination with economic considerations was also already supported during the company's development in China.
