+THE MEASURE OF TECHNOLOGY

„In close cooperation with our customers

we develop, produce and market

inspection and cleaning technology that

provide tailor-made solutions for heating,

ventilation and building applications. “

+DEVELOPMENT

Our innovations set the standards the

market follows. Our successful

innovations are based on four rock-solid

foundations: Our fascination with

technology, all of our development

engineers have a university degree, our

many years of experience and we never

stop talking with our customers.

14

PRODUCTION

Expert workmanship is required to

implement innovative developments. The

reason: Wöhler gives top priority to the

reliability and high standards of quality of

its products. Alone the precision and

efficiency of working procedures during

production ensure we are able to deliver

"the measure of technology".

15

+

+CONSULTATION/SALESWe offer customers planning investments

all the support we can give based on our

experience and technological know-how.

Because development, production and

marketing are all under the same roof at

Wöhler we are able to call on a great deal

of competence. This enables us to offer

our customers the best possible solutions

to support them during their work.

16

+SERVICE

We focus on providing competent

service, because professional equipment

maintenance helps to safeguard

customer investments. As the

manufacturer Wöhler is able to offer

absolutely reliable maintenance,

inspection and calibration services at all

times.

17

18

+++FLUE GAS ANALYSIS

Precision flue gas analyzers are

indispensable to ensure compliance with

statutory regulations and resolute

environmental protection. Data

processing functionality as well as

interfaces to a PC and mobile terminal

device support the user when evaluating

and documenting measurement data.

19

+++MEASURING PARTICULATE MATTERInnovative Wöhler products are causing a

stir in the industry: Back in 2012 the

Wöhler SM 500 was the first particulate

matter analyzer to fulfill the more

stringent requirements imposed by the

first German Federal Immission Control

Act (1. BImSchV) with regard to

particulate matter limits.

20

+HEATING SYSTEMS

Wöhler pressure measurement and

leakage detection devices make it

possible to reliably monitor systems

critical to safety in accordance with

(German) technical rules for gas

installations; as a consequence, they

help to detect and avert hazardous

situations endangering the lives of

residents.

21

+VENTILATION/BUILDINGObjective assessments based on

measurement results create

transparency and provide a solid basis for

making suggestions for improvements.

Utilizing Wöhler measurement technology

it is possible to set-up ventilation and air-

conditioning systems to operate at the

best-possible level of efficiency and to

monitor their long-term performance.

22

+INSPECTION TECHNOLOGYWhen chimneys, waste water pipes, flue

gas and ventilation systems or industrial

facilities need inspecting video inspection

systems from Wöhler keep you in the

picture. High-quality technology, for

example the pan&tilt color camera head,

ensure you can see as clear as a bell

even in the most inaccessible of places.

23

+++CLEANING TECHNOLOGYWe develop mechanical cleaning devices

for tradespeople and industry to clean

flue gas systems and ventilation lines.

Cleaning heads made of different

materials and strengths guarantee on-

the-job satisfaction.

24

Quality- and environmental awareness

ECO-PROFIT

Wöhler is a participant in

the project ECO-PROFIT run

by the district of Paderborn

with the objective of

pursuing ecological and

economical concepts.

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

At Wöhler we enjoy

excellent relationships with

our customers. A fact

confirmed by TUV NORD.

SERVICE-QUALITY

Beginning with the initial

contact through to our after-

sales customer care TUV

NORD has confirmed the

quality of our excellent

service.

Untertit

+WÖHLER INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGYAs a manufacturer we are not only able

to draw on many years of experience and

offer high levels of expertise, we are

always right up-to-date with relevant

laws and standards. At the Wöhler

Institute of Technology we pass on our

comprehensive knowledge to the

customer.

25

Untertitl

+WÖHLER POWER PARTNERThe idea behind the Wöhler Power

Partner program is quite simple: We wish

to support our market partners operating

in the chimney sweep, sanitation, heating

and climate control trades to the best of

our ability as they go about their daily

work. To achieve this objective, we have

developed a well-thought through

program to ensure our customers receive

the best support possible.

+INNOVATIONS-FORUMDialog with the customer forms the basis

for planning, developing and optimizing

our products. That´s why we not only

take every available opportunity to talk

with our customers, we also create the

opportunities too: The innovations forum

to be held in Fulda, from the 29-30th May

2015 not only offers customers

unparalleled experiences, it also offers

the place where essential knowledge is

passed on. 27

+WÖHLER THE EMPLOYER

We also strive for first class quality

amongst ourselves. We wish to achieve

the goals we set ourselves – and we do it

by working in partnership with one

another. A continuously increasing

number of colleagues feel at ease at their

place of work and in the Wöhler

environment.

28

+LIVING & WORKING IN BAD WÜNNENBERG

29

Bad Wünnenberg is a small, family-

friendly town in the Paderborn region of

Germany. Beautiful countryside offers an

open invitation to relax. Nevertheless,

with the university town of Paderborn just

20 minutes down the road it is possible to

benefit from all of the advantages that a

large town has to offer.

selecting the submenu "Mass„ – remove the unused filterStabilization begins (around 3 minutes)

weigh the filter cartridge on a laboratory precision balance, and write down the result

Press "Next" when the mass drift progress bar is filled completely green to initiate the zeroing process

Mass scale unit must be back in vertical position

When zeroing has been completed you are prompted to re-insert the filter cartridge – after zeroing!

press “OK”

When the lower progress bar is full after approx. 1minute, the graphic displaying the measurement readings is displayed

Undo the screw cap, insert the weighed filter cartridge, and then screw the cap back on again

It takes at least 2 minutes before the measurement reading can be read and compared with the target mass of the weighed filter cartridge. The maximum deviation from the target mass must not exceed ±5%.
