Aereal shot Steyr engine plant.

Honen und Feinbohren des großen Pleuel-Auges. Im Prozesswasser-Kreislauf anfallende Flüssigkeiten, z.B. Kühlschmierstoff, mit Spänen versetzte Bohrmilch, etc. Rend the connecting rod eye cap from the main part of the connecting rod (Cracking). Fracture splitting or cracking is in terms of strength, cost and accuracy of manufacturing advantage, since the fractured parts match perfectly, so no further machining or surface treatment is needed. Once joined together, the method ensures the best possible bonding of con-rod and connecting rod cap. Honing and fine boring the large connecting rod eye. In the process water circuit incoming fluids, such as coolant, drilling emulsion staggered with swarf, etc.

In the process water circuit incoming fluids, such as coolant, drilling emulsion staggered with swarf,wash emulsion etc. Cylinder head milling and drilling. Washing and fettle of the cylinder head. Insertion of the valve seats in the cylinder head. Measurement of the cylinder head, for quality assurance.

Attaching of geared ring on crankshaft. Quality control of crankshaft. Measuring of crankshaft.

Highly integrated, flexible, and thus resource-saving production process for various types of engines. Engine block is placed on a mounting platform. Engraving of the engine number. Inserting the crankshaft bearings. Insertion of the crankshaft in the engine block. nserting the piston. Application of liquid cover gasket. Innovative, resource-saving production method. Setting up the cylinder head on the engine block. Mounting of the control chain. Checking camshaft position. Recycling station at workplace. Personal involvement of staff in the implementation of sustainable production patterns. Assembling of auxiliary units for 4 - and 6-cylinder diesel engines on a common assembly line. Cold test of a 6-cylinder diesel engine. Resource efficient, computerized review of mechanics, acoustics, and leakage of the fuel injection and electronic components, without firing the engine with fuel.

Purification of process water through various feller, filtration and osmosis methods, up to a quality that comes close to distilled water (total water desalination). Process water treatment system. Control of recirculation of the cleaned process water. Sampling of purified process water. Process water analysis using ICP-OES spectrometry (optical emission spectrometry) of purified process water to detect heavy metals among others. Quality assurance of the process water circulation system through extensive testing methods. Distillation apparatus. Titration and filtration equipment. Quantitative analysis of ammonium of purified process water through titration and pH measurement. Process water samples.

Statement Gerhard Wölfel, CEO BMW Motoren GmbH Steyr: „Sustainability has become an integral part of our daily business in Steyr. Let me give you an example out of our factory: In our machining departement due to an innovative waste water treatement, we don’t produce any sewage at all. That sums up to a roughly saving up to 30 mio. Litres of water a year.”
