Cloos robot system guarantees efficiency and quality

BERLIN/HAIGER – Borsig Process Heat Exchanger GmbH produces appartus for cooling gases at high temperatures and pressures for the chemical and petrochemical industry. For weld-ing the thick walled apparatus, the Berlin company recently invested in a robot sys-tem from the Haiger-based welding specialists Carl Cloos Schweisstechnik GmbH. While the use of MIG/MAG narrow gap welding enabled Borsig to make considerable savings in production time and costs, this new technology also increases quality.

As one of Germany’s oldest and most tradi-tional firms, Borsig can look back over 175 years of experience in the development and production of tailor-made components for industrial systems. Its successful product range includes custom apparatus and cus-tom heat exchangers, e.g. waste heat sys-tems for methanol-, ammonia- and nitric acid systems and cracked gas coolers for generating ethylene. It also supplies piston- and turbo-compressors, systems for emis-sions protection and the recovery of hydro-carbons and it provides comprehensive ser-vices for the power station sector and the chemical industry. Borsig employs a total of 650 staff at a number of sites throughout Germany and its head office is in Berlin.
