Flowserve is the name for pumps and valves among experts.<br />
For the Bochum-based commercial company Wollschläger and <strong>VETTER</strong>, Flowserve<br />
is now the name for perfect collaboration between specialist suppliers<br />
and manufacturers – and no conflicts of interest!<br />

At the beginning of October, a total of six<br />
new gantry crane systems, various gantry<br />
crane elements and several slewing<br />
jib cranes were delivered to Flowserve’s new<br />
site in Essen. A particularly complex item on the<br />
list was a specially designed PROFI crane system<br />
which consisted of three gantries with two<br />
runway beams to support material flow in the<br />
inspection and assembly area.<br />
Optimally interlinking processes<br />
One beam was attached under the gantries and<br />
the other beam placed on top of the gantries.<br />
By adding an auxiliary beam, a connection was<br />
established with an existing circular track. The<br />
systems link various workstations together and<br />
thus optimises handling throughout the entire<br />
production process – from assembly to dispatch.<br />
The work also included the dismantling<br />
of nine existing crane systems at the old site and<br />
re-installation at the new production site.<br />
In our interview with Alexander Rojahn, Product<br />
Manager for Plant Equipment at Wollschläger,<br />
we wanted to find out more about how this<br />
joint project had been managed and above all<br />
how Wollschläger assessed the collaboration.
