<strong>Berghof</strong> remains cautiously optimistic<br />
despite some clouds on the economic horizon<br />
Dear reader,<br />
As for many companies, the year 2011 was a<br />
good year for the <strong>Berghof</strong> Group and it will go down<br />
as the best business year to date in the history of<br />
the company. Incoming orders, turnover and profit<br />
exceeded all expectations, although in the second<br />
half of the year, especially in the field of controls, a<br />
few dark clouds appeared on the horizon.<br />
As agreed in the company policy, the proceeds<br />
are being invested in further developing and modernising<br />
the Group of companies. For example in May<br />
2012, after a construction period of approximately<br />
12 months we moved into the new building in Mühlhausen,<br />
Thuringia. With the Corporate Architecture<br />
it has chosen and implemented in this building,<br />
<strong>Berghof</strong> has set the course for a corporate policy<br />

Efficient control solutions for energy applications<br />
Energy supply and mobility are currently in a<br />
state of transition between the energy carriers of the<br />
past and renewable energies. This development will<br />
cause many things to change significantly. Many<br />
decentralised energy producers require new storage<br />
concepts. Furthermore, plants must be networked<br />
intelligently and optimally monitored. <strong>Berghof</strong><br />
PLC controls and industrial PCs have been used<br />
successfully in combined heat and power plants,<br />
biogas plants and for efficient climate control.<br />
The products from <strong>Berghof</strong> ensure reliable and<br />
continuous energy production round the clock.<br />
Therefore, the <strong>Berghof</strong> product line is absolutely<br />
in line with the “Green Intelligence” motto of the<br />
Hanover Fair.<br />
Visitors had the opportunity to inform themselves<br />
about the potential applications in the “Energy”<br />
sector at our trade fair stand. Here are the highlights:<br />

reaching far into the future. This new orientation is<br />
also visible in the current project for implementing a<br />
new corporate design in the form of a fundamentally<br />
modified logo. The project is to be completed by<br />
the end of the year and its introduction is scheduled<br />
for the beginning of 2013.<br />
In terms of its equity capital the <strong>Berghof</strong> Group<br />
is extremely well-equipped. This is confirmed by<br />
the ratings given by the banks. Therefore further<br />
important developments and investments can be<br />
implemented which will enable the strategic business<br />
units to grow organically. The course is already<br />
set for this. Never before have so many projects<br />
involving the optimisation of the corporation and a<br />
future-oriented strategy has been in process simultaneously<br />
at <strong>Berghof</strong>. This also includes changing<br />
the name from Zundel Holding to <strong>Berghof</strong> Holding.<br />
In our growth strategy, known in the company as<br />
BeSt 2026, the shareholders, the management and<br />
the employees have concentrated these activities<br />
in order to achieve sustainable success in future in<br />
a more difficult environment.<br />

The objective is always to ensure optimal climatic<br />
conditions. The <strong>Berghof</strong> control and regulation<br />
technology components guarantee this as do the<br />
energy-optimised use of the resources. It goes<br />
without saying that today the many components of<br />

CoDeSys controller takes care<br />
of complex data management<br />
The monitoring and optimisation of processes<br />
is becoming increasingly important. And last but<br />
not least, this also helps track problems in plants.<br />
The methods are the same, no matter if regenerative<br />
energy production is concerned, or an industrial<br />
process. For this purpose a PLC controller today<br />
must not only control your „core business“, it must<br />
also manage, process and represent recorded data.<br />
<strong>Berghof</strong> controllers provide a large on-board flash<br />
memory for fast data storage. File management is<br />
simple because there is a file system. Long-term<br />
archiving on an SD card and representation of the<br />
data can be carried out directly in the display. All<br />
this is programmed by means of a single tool:<br />
CoDeSys.<br />

New “Basic-Plus” display<br />
controllers<br />
Basic-Plus is the name of the new product<br />
line which supplements the established CoDeSys<br />
DC1000 display controllers from <strong>Berghof</strong> Automation<br />
Engineering. The second Ethernet interface,<br />
the SD card interface and the snap-in assembly<br />
are an asset. This simple assembly technique requiring<br />
no tools enables the PLC controller to be<br />
installed from the front directly into the machine.<br />
Then the switching cabinet contains only the I/O<br />
components which are connected via EtherCat<br />
or CANopen. It goes without saying that the new<br />
Basic Plus display controllers use tried and tested<br />
CoDeSys libraries, such as the Profinet and Bacnet<br />
Library, for the purpose of communication.<br />

Process Control controls<br />
joining, press-fitting and<br />
welding processes<br />
High-performance <strong>Berghof</strong> I/O extension cards<br />
for display control help to improve the performance<br />
of the riveting controllers of Werner Krayer<br />
Systemtechnik.<br />
<strong>Berghof</strong> supplies Werner Krayer Systemtechnik<br />
with DC1000 controllers with displays and I/O<br />
extensions. Based on this controller Krayer has<br />
developed its own process control, “proMY”, with<br />
which it is possible not only to monitor riveting<br />
processes perfectly; it can also control them<br />
with regard to the process parameters, also providing<br />
100% quality control. The process control<br />
is designed for a wide variety of applications in<br />
the joining, press-fitting and welding sector.<br />
The range of applications mainly involves time,<br />
distance and force measurement. The highlight<br />
for riveting machines: for riveting machines the<br />
Krayer process control guarantees that a consistent<br />
rivet head height is achieved and the tolerances<br />
for matching components can be compensated.<br />
The specification: Higher performance<br />
with minimal dimensions<br />
The more compact machines become and the<br />
more varied their requirements profiles are, the<br />
more flexible and efficient the controls – including<br />
the I/O modules - must be. As a response to<br />
this requirement, <strong>Berghof</strong> has developed a new,<br />
extremely compact and variable I/O extension<br />
card for its PLC DC1000 device series for very<br />
diverse I/O signals measuring 108 mm in width<br />
x 56.6 mm in height. Its system identification is<br />
DC-I/O. It saves space in machines or switching<br />
cabinets and frequently also dispenses with the<br />
necessity for additional I/O hardware. Besides<br />
their compactness, what convinced Werner Krayer<br />
Systemtechnik regarding the <strong>Berghof</strong> I/O extensions<br />
was primarily their performance. “Other<br />
providers were neither able to offer this price –<br />
performance ratio, nor the high scanning rates”,<br />
<strong>Berghof</strong> News 1/2012<br />
Display controllers DC1000 with<br />
digital/analog I/O extension cards<br />
Ready for connection Process Control proMY with<br />
built-in display controller DC1000<br />
company owner Werner Krayer states for whom<br />
– besides the 1-ms scanning rate – primarily the<br />
value added thanks to the many multifunctional<br />
digital and analog inputs and outputs was crucial.<br />
A high bandwidth was needed here for a variety<br />
of electric connection techniques.<br />
The Challenge: to reduce rejects<br />
In order to guarantee optimal results rejects in<br />
the process must be reduced. For this purpose control<br />
of the riveting process must be able to select<br />
freely in different operating modes, according to<br />
riveting position, time or force (kN). In this process<br />
compensation of component mating tolerances and<br />
fluctuating thicknesses is an essential element.<br />
Krayer offers integrated length and rivet-projection<br />
measurement for this purpose. “Exact measurement<br />
of the riveting force is a complex matter”<br />
Control riveting processes with Process Control proMY.<br />
Display controller DC1000 with digital/analog I/O extension cards<br />
Werner Krayer states, which is why the directacting<br />
force is measured via a high precision Piezo<br />
strain sensor. Analyses and reactions take place<br />
in realtime. For such challenges I/O extensions<br />
are required with which these requirements can<br />
be met as affordably and efficiently as possible.<br />
This means that performance can be extended in<br />
a variable, space and hardware saving manner<br />
and furthermore requires only minimal additional<br />
programming. The <strong>Berghof</strong> I/O extensions unite<br />
these characteristics in a compact form. The DC<br />
I/O extension card occupies only one slot in the<br />
housing. With Prime Interface up to three extension<br />
cards can be installed in the DC1000 series.<br />
Multi functional and compact<br />
<strong>Berghof</strong> DC-I/O extension cards are distinguished<br />
by the multi-functional digital and analog<br />
inputs / outputs and by the high measuring accuracy<br />
and 22-bit resolution.<br />
Simple programming via CoDeSys<br />
All extension cards are integrated in the control<br />
configuration of the CoDeSys development<br />
environment. <strong>Berghof</strong> supplies the I/O extensions<br />
already pre-assembled and function-tested. Communication<br />
takes place via an internal bus system.<br />

Process Engineering<br />
Integrated Seat Measurement<br />
SMM2 module for vehicle seats or 2 nd generation components for the interior<br />
The <strong>Berghof</strong> SeatMeasModule was developed<br />
in order to carry out the entire electrical testing of<br />
vehicle seats in the end-of-line tester for the sake<br />
of process reliability.<br />
The module assumes all requisite resistance measurements<br />
incl. protective circuits for measurements<br />
on airbags. All the consumers in the seat continue<br />
to be supplied with voltage from the module and are<br />
switched on and off separately. Each of these supply<br />
channels for the seat is equipped with a fast ammeter<br />
channel in order to assess the correct functioning of<br />
the components in different operating states. Therefore,<br />
in principle this measuring module is suitable<br />
for testing a multitude of other components in the<br />
automotive interiors sector.<br />
At present the SMM2 module is in use in final<br />
testing lines for car seats (driver and front passenger)<br />
and lorry-driver seats.<br />
The complexity of the functions in a vehicle seat<br />
should on no account be underestimated. Besides the<br />
main well-known functions such as seat adjustment,<br />
seat heating and the airbag, many more functions<br />
can be installed in a vehicle seat. The following are<br />
examples of this: massage mats, lordosis support,<br />
Philipp Miska<br />
automatic child seat recognition<br />
(AKSE) in the front passenger seat,<br />
bladder mat (weight recognition of<br />
front passenger), SBR: seat belt<br />
reminder, AV fan (active ventilation),<br />
crash-active headrests, ambient<br />
lighting, foot room lighting<br />
and multi media screens in the<br />
headrests. This extremely wide<br />
variety of functions requires, for example, current<br />
measurements in a broad measurement range (e.g.<br />
seat adjustment with 6 seat axes and with currents<br />
up to 80 A and sensors in the mA range). The separate<br />
evaluation of current values and the analysis<br />
of current curves is feasible here.<br />
Internally the SMM2 comprises a high-performance<br />
power supply unit for currents up to 80 A, an<br />
integrated measuring board from our alliance partner,<br />
“National Instruments”, and a development of our<br />
own for resistance and output measurement which is<br />
connected directly to this measuring board. Contact<br />
with the vehicle seat is directly via a Harting plug-in<br />
connector installed at the rear. All the components<br />
are installed in a 19” housing which is supplied with<br />
230 V operating voltage.<br />
The SMM2 is connected directly to the PC via<br />
the USB interface of the measuring board. Software<br />
developed by <strong>Berghof</strong> can be used to enable all the<br />
measuring functions of the SMM2 and calibrate the<br />
measuring channels.<br />
In the final testing lines already implemented in<br />
the production of vehicle seats the SMM2 is often<br />
used together with CAN or LIN interfaces for commu-<br />
Successful diploma thesis<br />
Mr. Philipp Miska did his industrial internship at<br />
the Mühlhausen location. Thereafter he was offered<br />
the opportunity to also write his diploma thesis<br />
at <strong>Berghof</strong>. The subject of his diploma thesis is<br />
“Implementation of an automation system<br />
for regular charging of micro processorcontrolled<br />
high voltage memories in the<br />
hybrid vehicle sector“.<br />
In October 2011 Mr. Miska began to implement<br />
the task in the context of a project for BMW, the<br />
car manufacturing company. He was successful<br />
in developing a concept for the cyclical charging<br />
of high-volt accumulator batteries (NiMH accumulators)<br />
from the automotive sector. A special<br />
challenge was vehicle simulation of the internal<br />
accumulator controller without which the charging<br />
process is impossible.<br />
nicating with the control devices in the vehicle seat.<br />
Furthermore, additional leak-testing devices are used<br />
to test the pneumatic components in a vehicle seat.<br />
Peter Deckelmann<br />
prozesstechnik@berghof.com<br />
For automated charging of the approx. 800 highvolt<br />
accumulators it was necessary to connect them<br />
to the conveyance system controls. He developed a<br />
communication and routing module for this purpose<br />
in order to convey the accumulators out of a high<br />
rack to the individual charging points. Both modules<br />
were integrated successfully into the LabView project<br />
and put into operation. The system has meanwhile<br />
carried out over 2,000 charging cycles.<br />
On 27.04.2012 Mr Miska was awarded the top<br />
mark of 1.0 for his diploma thesis and is now working<br />
as a project engineer at <strong>Berghof</strong> in Mühlhausen. At<br />
present he is developing a driver to connect endof-line<br />
testers for the BMW project.<br />

Analytics<br />
<strong>Berghof</strong> Analytics<br />
undergoes reaccreditation<br />
in compliance with<br />
DIN EN ISO 17025<br />
<strong>Berghof</strong> Analytics will be reaccredited in the<br />
autumn this year. This extensive DakkS procedure<br />
(National German accreditation body) must<br />
take place every 5 years. It entails examining the<br />
conformity of the entire management system, the<br />
relevant specialist departments and competence<br />
of the personnel involved.<br />
These assessments ensure that the audited<br />
processes, services or systems are reliable with<br />
regard to their quality and safety, that they correspond<br />
to a minimum technical level and comply<br />
with the specifications of the relevant standards,<br />
directives and laws. This examination according<br />
to objective criteria is also known as a conformity<br />
assessment.<br />
Quality assurance and control with the painstaking<br />
documentation that goes with them are a very<br />
time-consuming and increasingly central issue in<br />
daily routine. In order to meet this high demand it<br />
is imperative to have constant monitoring, updates<br />
and adaptations to the state-of-the-art at <strong>Berghof</strong><br />
Analytics. We are required to examine the quality<br />
of our work and products on an on-going basis<br />
and to stay in line with the specified directives.<br />
In order to be able to assess <strong>Berghof</strong> Analytics<br />
exactly the DakkS auditors receive access to all<br />
areas of the company. This starts with sampling,<br />
includes the various analytical processes and the<br />
evaluation of the results through to passing these<br />
on to our customers.<br />

25,000 euros. All the colleagues are working on<br />
it for the sake of continued first-class results and<br />
to obtain excellent reaccreditation, as the DAkkS<br />
auditors repeatedly confirm to us.<br />

Successful GMP audit at<br />
<strong>Berghof</strong> Analytics<br />
The regular <strong>Berghof</strong> Analytics GMP audit was<br />
carried out on 01.02.212 by the regional authority<br />
in Tübingen, Central Office for Pharmacovigilence.<br />
The areas: quality management, personnel,<br />
rooms, furnishings and equipment as well as<br />
documentation and quality control (laboratory<br />
organisation, equipment, qualifications, test<br />
methods and validation) were all inspected. All<br />
areas were inspected and rated by way of random<br />
samples in the course of the day. The personnel<br />
sector is taken as an example here: The present<br />
organisational chart, qualifications of the employees,<br />
the distribution of responsibilities at the<br />
management level and the deputisation list were<br />
all checked. The structure of the training system<br />
was examined; and the process for determining<br />
the general need for training, the training schedule<br />
and the in-house and external trainings was<br />
reviewed. Familiarisation plans for new employees<br />
were checked and scrutinised.<br />
The conclusion for all areas was once again<br />
good results without any critical or serious faults<br />
and deficits. Only a few miscellaneous faults and<br />
deficits were found which are now being processed<br />
and eliminated within the framework of a corrective<br />
and preventive action plan (CAPA). It goes without<br />
saying that the up-to-date certificate is available<br />
on our homepage under Contact and Information.<br />

Environmental Engineering<br />
Analytical Quality Assurance<br />
in Baden-Württemberg<br />
(AQS)<br />
By tradition the training course for samplers<br />
takes place at the beginning of March every year<br />
at Stuttgart University. In course units I to V the<br />
sampling techniques in different compartments<br />
was explained and demonstrated in practice.<br />
Sampler training course III occupies itself with<br />
taking samples of groundwater in polluted areas<br />
and where there are harmful changes to the soil.<br />
For many years Mr. Haaff from <strong>Berghof</strong> Analytics<br />
+ Environmental Engineering has been a<br />
mainstay of the teaching course in his capacity<br />
as a teacher. His practical examples illustrate<br />
the problems of sampling ground water on areas<br />
suspected of being polluted and with the imponderability<br />
of harmful substances which may<br />
be present in phase and in the different ways of<br />
conserving samples of the individual hazardous<br />
substances etc. For generating “correct” analysis<br />
values sampling is an essential prerequisite.<br />
Faults during sampling are many times greater<br />
than the analytical measured-value fluctuations<br />
in the laboratory.<br />
Another instructor in this year’s samplers’<br />
training course III stressed that the university<br />
is glad to take recourse to the experience of<br />
<strong>Berghof</strong> in knowledge transfer. Mr. Söhlmann from<br />
<strong>Berghof</strong> Analytics + Environmental Engineering<br />
was invited to hold the introductory lecture on“.<br />
The importance of groundwater investigations in<br />
processing historical burdens”. Besides the general<br />
legal conditions, the systematic processing<br />
of historical burdens in Baden-Württemberg and<br />
the differences between sampling the groundwater<br />
network and historical burdens.<br />
If they succeed in the examination the participants<br />
receive a certificate.<br />

Reiner Söhlmann is an<br />
acknowledged expert in<br />
Baden Württemberg in<br />
compliance with § 18 German<br />
Soil Protection Act.<br />
Since Baden-Württemberg has meanwhile<br />
also implemented the approval of experts in the<br />
ordinance dated April 2011, based on his many<br />
years working in the field of soil protection and<br />
historical burdens, Mr. Reiner Söhlmann from<br />
the Environmental Engineering business unit<br />
decided to go through the accreditation proceedings.<br />
Besides the formal application, appropriate<br />
qualified expert reports must also be submitted<br />
to the admissions office. If the expert reports are<br />
acknowledged by the board of examiners, an oral<br />
examination will take place.<br />
Mr. Söhlmann sat this examination on<br />
16.02.2012. He was given a warm welcome by<br />
the Chairman, Prof. Jörg Menzel, as he was the<br />
first candidate for the exam in Baden-Württemberg<br />
at the State Institute for the Environment, Measurements<br />
and Nature Conservation (LUBW). The<br />
Reiner Söhlmann<br />
board of examiners orally tests and assesses the<br />
specialist knowledge an expert must have. After<br />
the oral exam Mr. Söhlmann was congratulated on<br />
passing and it was confirmed that the specifications<br />
for an expert according to §18 had been met.<br />
Written confirmation of his accreditation was<br />
issued on 20.03.2012.<br />
Mr. Söhlmann is now an expert in compliance<br />
with §18 Federal German Soil Protection Act<br />
(BBodSchG,) subject matter 2.2 “Hazard assessment<br />
for the exposure pathway of soil-waters”.<br />
Accreditation is limited to 5 years and can be<br />
extended by providing evidence of attendance at<br />
advance training sessions on the subject matter,<br />
and by submitting experts’ reports. Publication<br />
in the interstate research system for measuring<br />
stations and experts (ReSyMeSa) took place on<br />

NICOLE Technology Award 2012. NICOLE, the Network<br />
for Industrially Contaminated Land in Europe,<br />
is coordinated by industrial stakeholders and<br />
represents a platform for exchanging experiences<br />
at the scientific and technical level in connection<br />
with all aspects of contaminated industrial sites.<br />
The project was launched in February 1996 for<br />
a period of three years as part of the Environmental<br />
and Climate Program of the European Union. It has<br />
been financed out of contributions by the participants<br />
since 1999. Participants in NICOLE come from<br />
industrial and research and development sectors<br />
from 15 EU and eastern European countries.<br />
The objectives of NICOLE are:<br />
• The exchange of ideas in connection with<br />
subterranean and soil contamination caused<br />
by industrial and commercial activities.<br />
• Determination of the need for research and<br />
the fostering of cooperation. Representatives<br />
of industries are to obtain support in order<br />
to be able to define and assess contaminated<br />
locations and to then manage them<br />
efficiently.<br />
• The skills and information of relevant planners<br />
in the EU or the member countries are<br />
to be passed on via publicly-funded research<br />
projects; future research needs and priorities<br />
are also to be established.<br />
Since the year 2010 a prize is awarded for innovative<br />
technologies for the risk management of<br />
contaminated areas. In 2012 the prizes were awarded<br />
for work in the field of „Innovative solutions for soil<br />
monitoring on contaminated properties“.<br />
The prize, which is worth 750 euros and includes<br />
three years’ free membership in NICOLE and<br />
vouchers for the network meetings for the next three<br />
years, was awarded to Messrs N. Klaas from Stuttgart<br />
University, R. Söhlmann and P. Halla from <strong>Berghof</strong><br />
Engineering during the Conference Dinner on June<br />
14th at this year’s NICOLE Network meeting which<br />
was held from 13th to 15th June in Baden-Baden.<br />

Membrane Technology<br />
A BioFlow MBR system successfully commissioned at Vanitec Ltd India<br />
From left to right: Mr. Balaji, engineer, Mr. Abdur Rahman, Managing Director of Vanitec Ltd., India<br />
Vanitec Ltd India is responsible for treating the<br />
tannery wastewater of a total of 133 tanneries in<br />
Vaniyambadi, India. Tannery wastewater is distinguished<br />
by very high freights of organic and inorganic<br />
substances and is therefore very difficult to treat. In<br />
all 4,000 m³ of wastewater is processed per day by<br />
means of MBR and reverse osmosis to be used again<br />
as process water.<br />
Owing to an existing MBR membrane system of a<br />
competitor, Vanitec Ltd, which functioned only inadequately,<br />
was extremely wary regarding the membrane<br />
technology. “Based on the many years‘ experience<br />
Laboratory Technology<br />
Retrospective view of the 2012 Analytica<br />
and Workshops in Eningen<br />
Two novelties were presented at the 2012<br />
Analytica in Munich between 17.04 and 20.04.212<br />
in the form of the easyH2O water detection device<br />
and the HotBlock systems from Environmental Express<br />
(USA). Both met with a positive response<br />
and <strong>Berghof</strong> Laboratory Technology had 20% more<br />
contacts than in 2010 - a big rise in the number of<br />
visitors. At over 30,000 visitors the Analytica is the<br />
leading international fair for laboratory technology,<br />
analytics and biotechnology. We wish to thank all<br />
visitors for their interest in our laboratory apparatus.<br />
in the treatment of complex wastewater we asked<br />
<strong>Berghof</strong> to support us in solving the problem” Mr.<br />
Rahman, Managing Director of Venitec Ltd, remarks.<br />
“The performance profile of the PVDF membranes<br />
from <strong>Berghof</strong> really is superior to the competition“.<br />
Furthermore, the further development of the module<br />
size to a 10” diameter and a 4-m length was decisive<br />
in making the volume of the investment interesting.<br />
We were therefore able to process the entire volume<br />
of generated wastewater in just 4 UF loops.<br />
Due to the complexity of the wastewater this was<br />
preceded by an extensive test phase by means of<br />
The easyH2O water-detection device with its<br />
hygroscopic P2O5 sensor facilitates selective detection<br />
of water entirely without additional chemicals.<br />
The user profits from an environmentally-friendly<br />
process which delivers fast and inexpensive results<br />
in the different phases of the process. Hence the<br />
easyH2O offers a very good, innovative method<br />
regarding “Karl-Fischer”.<br />
Since the beginning of the year the open HotBlock<br />
digestion systems from Environmental Express are<br />
being sold by <strong>Berghof</strong> Laboratory Technology in<br />
Hyperflux modules<br />
a <strong>Berghof</strong> BioFlow pilot system. The results of the<br />
experiment were the basis for reliable and safe dimensioning.<br />
The external MBR UF system has been<br />
running for half a year. Mr. Rahman says that the<br />
results are extremely satisfactory. The average flow<br />
rate of the plant is 110 – 120 L/m²h and is thus above<br />
the designed flow rate of 80 L/m²h.<br />
“The <strong>Berghof</strong> Team supported us optimally throughout<br />
the entire project phase” Mr. Rahman declares.<br />
“We are looking forward to continued long-term<br />
cooperation.”<br />
The <strong>Berghof</strong> BioPulse process, an energy-optimised<br />
process with backwashing PVDF LE membranes,<br />
has proved its worth for similar wastewater<br />
compositions. Experience has shown that energy<br />
savings of over 30% can be achieved without any<br />
problems at flow rates of 65 L/m²h. The decision<br />
as to which processing concept should be chosen<br />
depends on the composition of the waste water, the<br />
processing method and the way in which the bioreactor<br />
is operated.<br />

Germany. The disposable principle is particularly apt<br />
for acid digestion of easy-to-digest samples, e.g. in<br />
the environmental sector. All vessels are delivered<br />
with a hygiene certificate and they are also suitable<br />
for HotBlock systems from other manufacturers.<br />
Directly after the fair two workshops took place<br />
at <strong>Berghof</strong> in Eningen.<br />
On 08.05.2012 the focus was on the digestion<br />
technique by means of microwave and conventional<br />
pressure digestion. Apart from a theoretical<br />
introduction, there was an extensive practical part<br />

with them were digested.<br />
This was followed by a 2nd workshop on the subject<br />

highpreactor – Working<br />
with <strong>Berghof</strong> high-pressure<br />
reactors becomes easier<br />
The high-pressure reactors of the <strong>Berghof</strong><br />
highpreactor series are impressive especially<br />
because of two features. Firstly due to the thick-<br />
walled PTFE inserts and PTFE<br />
linings which represent an affordable<br />
alternative to special alloys<br />
for use with corrosive media. And<br />
secondly the quick-release fastening<br />
systems make them easier<br />
to handle. For example, the user<br />
can easily remove all the fixtures<br />
for cleaning and remount them<br />
securely thereafter.<br />
From now on lifting systems<br />
are available to simplify handling<br />
the heavy, large-volume reactors.<br />
The lid is mounted firmly on a<br />
tripod and the vessel is automatically<br />
lowered and swivelled sideways.<br />
This gives easy access to<br />
all of the parts in the reactor and<br />
work which has to be carried out<br />
on it can be done conveniently.<br />
<strong>Berghof</strong> high-pressure reactors<br />
can be used anywhere where<br />
chemical reactions take place at a<br />
high temperature and pressure up<br />
to 300°C / 200 bars. They cover a<br />
broad range of volumes between<br />
25 ml and 5 lites in modular form<br />
and serve for developing the basic<br />
principles and optimising processes<br />
in laboratory and pilot-plant standards.<br />

AEO Certificate for the<br />
Eningen location<br />
In compliance with the (EC) Directive 648 / 2005,<br />
as Authorised Economic Operators, AEO, companies<br />
domiciled in the European Community can enjoy<br />
great simplification and acceleration of customs<br />
clearance.<br />
AEOs are also recognised in the USA and are therefore<br />
of crucial importance for export-oriented companies.<br />
AEO can be achieved on three levels:<br />
• As AEO-C (customs), enables simplified<br />
customs clearance.<br />
• As AEO-S (safety) safeguards the<br />
supply chain.<br />
• As AEO-F (full) encompasses both<br />
modules mentioned above.<br />
The companies of the <strong>Berghof</strong> Group domiciled<br />
at the Eningen location: <strong>Berghof</strong> Membrane Technology<br />
GmbH & Co. KG, <strong>Berghof</strong> Automationstechnik<br />
GmbH and <strong>Berghof</strong> Products + Instruments GmbH<br />
have now received the AEO-C certificate from Customs.<br />
The aforementioned firms have appointed Ms.<br />
Elisabeth Haible as their Central Customs Officer.<br />
Elisabeth Haible<br />
Building measures at the Eningen location must<br />
be carried out before the AEO S certificate can be<br />
applied for. Therefore, approval as an AEO has<br />
been divided into two stages with the declared<br />
objective of meeting the specifications for AEO-F<br />
by the end of 2012.<br />

Fluoroplastic Technology<br />
permeaflon ® – Oleophobic<br />
pressure-compensation membranes<br />
<strong>Berghof</strong> pressure-compensation membranes<br />
made from permeaflon ® are capable of protecting<br />
electrical and electronic devices from undesired<br />
pressure fluctuations caused by temperature or altitude<br />
and against penetration by water, dust and dirt.<br />
Especially as functioning parts in an automotive<br />
environment they are exposed to extreme strain but<br />
must always function reliably and continuously.<br />
In terms of its original characteristics the porous<br />
PTFE used in the permeaflon ® membranes – although<br />
it is extremely hydrophobic (water repellent)<br />
owing to its low surface energy – is only slightly<br />
oleophobic (oil repellent). If the customer requests<br />
it especially, it is possible to increase the oleophobic<br />
character of the porous PTFE a great deal by<br />
means of a special treatment, without diminishing<br />
the hydrophobia. We thus create a membrane<br />
which makes both water and oil and other typical<br />
automotive fluids drip off, hence providing perfect<br />
protection for sensitive electronics.<br />
In this way it is possible to meet the requirements<br />
specified by the automotive industry.<br />
According to them over- or underpressure which<br />
builds up in a housing must be compensated<br />
Rear test strips: untreated permeaflon ® membrane wet with oil;<br />
at the front a treated strip of membrane with drops dripping off.<br />
within a specified time. The value usually demanded<br />
for the air flow rate through the membrane is<br />
>15 Nl/h*cm². At the same time, the pressure at<br />
which the water enters via the membrane must be<br />
>0.6 bars (corresponds to a 6 m water column).<br />
In order to guarantee these values in the long<br />
term the membrane must not be wetted by oil and<br />
other typical automotive fluids because then the<br />
ventilation capacity would be reduced.<br />
The oleophobia of our permeaflon® membranes<br />
was tested and confirmed by Hohenstein<br />
Laboratories GmbH & Co. KG (oil repulsion test<br />
in compliance with AATCC 118).<br />
The test fluids used are aliphatic compounds<br />
with different chain lengths and therefore different<br />
surface energies which are dripped onto the material<br />
to be tested. After 30 seconds a test is performed<br />
to establish if the sample was wetted. The thinner<br />
the test fluid, or the lower the energy of the test<br />
fluid which has not yet wet the sample, the higher<br />
the oleophobia rating will be.<br />

The <strong>Berghof</strong> Group of Companies<br />
Innovation needs space: <strong>Berghof</strong> Automation Engineering in<br />
Mühlhausen: The inauguration of the new company building<br />
It has taken a year to build: the <strong>Berghof</strong> Mühlhausen<br />
employees were able to move into the<br />
new building on Langensalzaer Landstraße 23 in<br />
mid-May. The colleagues celebrated the official<br />
inauguration on June 15th 2012 with bidden guests<br />
and friends of the company.<br />
With his architectural approach the architect,<br />
Bamberg from Pfullingen, succeeded in implementing<br />
the new <strong>Berghof</strong> Group corporate struc-<br />
ture which has been developed in recent years,<br />
by means of a „consistent, innovative“ building<br />
design. For example, the two-storey building<br />
opens up generously towards the outside thanks<br />
to its glass façade, promising transparency and<br />
openness – values which are firmly engrained in<br />
the <strong>Berghof</strong> Group of companies. The architecture<br />
of the building, the design of the interior areas<br />
and the office furnishings are regarded as a pilot<br />
project for the future design of buildings belonging<br />
to the <strong>Berghof</strong> Group.<br />
By investing in it the shareholders have honoured<br />
their trust in the many years of excellent<br />
work by the Process Engineering business unit in<br />
Mühlhausen and have given a clear, future-oriented<br />
signal. The new building, and the grounds that<br />
belong to it, create perspectives for further growth<br />
and they amount to a sustainable commitment to<br />
the region and its people.<br />

<strong>Berghof</strong> customer satisfaction in 2012<br />
Customer orientation, customer satisfaction,<br />
quality assurance. These are no empty slogans<br />
at the <strong>Berghof</strong> Group of companies.<br />
<strong>Berghof</strong> is a company which has always focused<br />
on close collaboration with its business<br />
partners, ever since it was founded in 1966. For<br />
<strong>Berghof</strong> it is extremely important to know and<br />
understand its customers’ wishes in order to be<br />
able to implement them in customised solutions.<br />
However, we do not restrict customer orientation<br />
to aligning our products and services to a large<br />
degree with the requirements of our customers.<br />
Rather, we see it as a holistic process ranging<br />
from the first contact with a potential customer<br />
through to after-sales support for the customer,<br />
thus determining every single part of our performance<br />
and services.<br />
“To be credible one must constantly seek<br />
dialogue” (Heinz Goldmann *1920).<br />
Especially in the business sectors in which<br />
our firms operate, trusting, lasting and successful<br />
cooperation is based on good interpersonal relations.<br />
Our most important means for achieving this<br />
is dialogue. We therefore want to take absolutely<br />
every opportunity that arises to start the dialogue<br />
with our customers and to continue it constantly<br />
thereafter. Our customer-satisfaction survey which<br />
we carried out this year again provided a platform<br />
for our customers to express their experience<br />
and opinions as regards the cooperation with<br />
the <strong>Berghof</strong> Group of companies. Our customers<br />
thus had the opportunity to assess their overall<br />
satisfaction with <strong>Berghof</strong> and with individual elements<br />
of our performance and services, such as<br />
product quality, order processing or after-sales<br />
management.<br />
In order to reduce the time and effort required<br />
of our customers for the survey, this year we have<br />
chosen a web-based survey for the first time.<br />
With the aid of the reputable survey software, EFS<br />
Survey, we were able to make an online questionnaire<br />
available to the customers. It improved<br />
its availability to our customers, especially the<br />
international ones, and thus achieved a recourse<br />
of 39.35 % and a 25.10 % completion rate, which<br />
was equivalent to an 8 % increase compared to<br />
last year. This high participation rate is ultimately<br />
attributable to the reduced amount of effort for<br />
our customers thanks to the web-based survey.<br />
Furthermore, the average time for processing the<br />
questionnaire was only 6 minutes, and there was<br />
no need for the inconvenient task of returning it<br />
by post or e-mail.<br />
The next step is to aggregate the assessments<br />
of our customers and to evaluate the results of<br />
the survey, analyse the potential improvements<br />
and infer conceivable measures for improving<br />
our performance and the cooperation with our<br />
customers.<br />
However, first of all we wish to thank all of<br />
the customers who participated in our customersatisfaction<br />
survey sincerely for supporting us in<br />
making our performance and services even more<br />
customer-oriented in the future.<br />
