Promotion Innovation meets experience The internationally renowned KRAL AG has been developing and producing pumps since 1950 and owmeters since 1984. The company and its 250 employees consistently set new standards for the world market. JUNE 2016 57 © KRAL AG More than 30 years ago, KRAL AG achieved a particularly innovative breakthrough. Inspired by an external inventor’s idea, which was originally patented in 1937, KRAL AG became the fi rst company to produce a comprehensive product range of fl owmeters based on the screw spindle principle. Until 1984, no company besides KRAL was able to put this idea into practice In 1999, KRAL proved its pioneering role once again by becoming the fi rst producer of compact screw spindle pumps with hermetic-ally sealed magnetic couplings at competitive prices. Industry 4.0 currently provides particularly exciting and new opportunities. Even though practically all market opportunities are yet to be explored, there are already ideas for a pump that can detect its own status and communicates it independently to the world. This means that unplanned downtimes could be prevented and the condition is monitored automatically by the pump. Proactive adaptability Pumping and measuring liquids is harder than it may seem at fi rst glance. The liquids’ ingredients change, new production processes change their physical properties, and laws change economic frameworks. KRAL remains a reliable partner, especially in volatile environments because potential changes are closely monitored by experts who implement the necessary adaptions as quickly as possible. This level of adaptability assures our clients that the pumps will also work with changed liquids. Precision for the highest standards When it comes to saving resources and avoiding emissions, the amount of fuel that is fed into motor, burner or turbine is a decisive factor. KRAL adds electronic monitoring systems to mechanical fl owmeters for its clients to measure fuel consumption. The quality of the measured values is particularly important because they are transmitted to higher-level systems. These third party systems collect measurement data from a large number of measuring devices. Therefore it is only possible to arrive at an overall assessment if each individual measured value is as precise as possible. KRAL’s volumeters are precision instruments which are ideally suited for these sophisticated tasks. Focusing on customer needs With an export quota of approximately 97 percent the internationalisation is on a very high level. It is very important for this company to strongly support its sales partners. “With the appreciation we show our sales partners and clients by providing country-specifi c product properties, we motivate our partners, who are independent enterprises, to invest in their business with KRAL.” KRAL AG supports its international clients from its headquarters in Lustenau.
