The family-owned company AVS Römer GmbH & Co. KG specialises in customised solutions in fluid technology and manufactures high-quality pumps, valves, distributors, sensors and screw connections. The company has been active in the market for more than 50 years and has over 450 employees. In order to meet growing demand, an extension with a floor space of 6,800 m² was built at the company's headquarters. This increased the existing production and administrative space by 1.5 times.
PohlCon supported the construction project with its cable support structures: we were responsible for their manufacture and installation. A variety of different structural elements were used to best meet the different cable routing requirements.
Almost 850 m of perforated RG cable trays in various widths and heights were installed. The Sendzimir galvanisation reliably protects them from corrosion. For larger support distances, our long-span cable trays were chosen. Thanks to their increased transverse rigidity, they easily bridge distances of up to 8 m (type WPR 150) or 10 m (type WLR 200). We installed a total of 1,000 m of long-span tracks.
Our U-shaped support structure system was used to hold and support the cable-carrying components. The system consists of bracket holders, brackets and head plates and securely holds cable trays to walls or ceilings. The continuous three-sided perforation of the KDU and KHU bracket holders allows brackets to be attached easily and flexibly. Depending on the load, standard KW brackets, medium-duty KWMS brackets and heavy-duty KWS brackets were installed – more than 500 in total. The brackets also prove their worth as self-supporting wall brackets. Very large cable loads could be reliably supported with our KDI bracket holders and KTS brackets, which are designed for heavy loads. In areas with the highest load transfer requirements, profiles from our partner MEFA were used: a good 800 m of MEFA Centrum profiles XL100, 120 and 200 were installed.
Our BK floor duct was used in areas with floor-mounted cable routing – a total of more than 170 m. Its cover with anti-slip embossing ensures that the duct is walkable – an essential criterion on the part of the client. Screw connectors ensure equipotential bonding.
135 m of perforated KHA profile rails were installed to secure cable clamps and connection structures. They are versatile and ideal for use as a stand-alone construction profile. Thanks to additional components, the various support systems could be individually configured. Whether bends, crossings, branches or covers: PohlCon's range of moulded parts and accessories is diverse and extensive.
We are delighted with the successful completion of this special project: from one family business to another.
