STATIONARY UNITS FOR

FIREFIGHTING

KAP- /

VERTICUS - RANGE

When firefighters are concen­trating all efforts into saving
people's lives, health and pos­sessions, then there's only
one thing that counts with
fire: an uncompromising,
reliable supply of pure brea­thing air.

For the past 60 years BAUER, as
their partner, has been supply­ing the fire brigade and disaster
prevention with breathing air
compressors that are legendary
as in regards to their reliability
and durability.

FILLING SPECIALISTS FOR ALL PURPOSES

THE KAP- / VERTICUS RANGE

KAP- / VERTICUS - Range

Extremely compact powerful stationary filling centres.

Scope of supply: 4 filling devices and B-Control to moni­tor and control all important compressor functions. The
Verticus 5 - range: equipped with super silent housing.
Optional: bigger or additional filter housings, SECURUS fil­ter monitoring, external filling panels and storage
systems. Remote control, -monitoring of one or several
units in interconnected operation via B-Messenger is pos­sible.

KAP- / VERTICUS F - Range

High-performance open or acoustically insulated
units with the best price-performance ratio:

The new 15.1 compressor block delivers 450 litres per
minute. Otherwise technically identical to the standard
VERTICUS range, the F-unit range offers a particularly
good price-performance ratio thanks to the use of a con­ventional star-delta control.

The wide range of BAUER-units offers the right solution for each purpose and need

Thanks to the four-stage compr essor blocks and robust industrial bearingswith lifetime expec­tancies of more than 30.000 hours, the VERTICUS- and KAP- range units can be run conti-

nuously without restrictions. All coolers, filters, valves and pipes are manufactured in corrosion­free materials. High-performance axial fans and a cleverly devised cooling air supply in the sound-

proof silent units ensure an optimum supply of cooling air, a requirement necessary for a relia­ble application even under the most difficult external climatic conditions. The unit's design guaran­tees good accessibility for all routine maintenance work.
The VERTICUS range's efficient housing sound insulation permits trouble-free use even in a par­ticularly sound-sensitive environment.

KAP-DAH - Range

Diesel driven unit for self-sufficient use in
remote areas

Robust and low-maintenance diesel motor, par­ticularly unsusceptible at high temperatures.
Same fuel with mobile use on diesel driven
trucks and pick-ups.

KAP-H-Range

Horizontal design for operation on heavy seas
and extreme inclinations

The low centre of gravity and the block design allow
the operation even on heavy seas.

perceives the design, deve-

lopment and evolution of its

machines as a partnership

between manufacturer and
user. This philosophy is conti-

nuous in the approach to pro­vision of spare parts, long-

NO COMPROMISE REGARDING SAFETY !

FILTER SYSTEMS MADE BY BAUER

Safety starts with proces­sing quality.

BAUER manufactures filter

housings only from costly
special aluminium alloy or
tempered high-alloy steel.

This guarantees that the filter
housings survive the highest
of pressures up to 500 bar
with tens of thousands of fil-

ling cycles.

Starting from the raw material
up to the final filter housing
the manufacturing process
is subject to perfect control
supervised by TÜV and docu-

mented with stamped mate­rial- and production num­bers.

Your life is at risk with
fake cartridges!

Only original cartridges
made by BAUER guarantee
that oil, humidity or hydro-

carbons in the compressed

air are completely removed.
The limiting values of BAUER
filter systems comply with and
exceed all major national
and international standards
such as DIN EN 12021 and
medical air acc. to European

Pharmacy Requirements.

Only the most appropriate
filter media of the highest
quality are used.

In the BAUER Testing- and
Research Centre the composi-

tion for the respective appli­cation is calculated, optimized

and extensively tested.

Those, who buy cheap, buy
expensive!

To achieve a germfree and

unsaturated condition, a fil-

ter cartridge can only be filled
under industrial production
conditions. The balance of
carbon and molecular sieve of
BAUER original cartridges is

adjusted perfectly.
Mechanical filling guaran-

tees exact dosing and piling
to create the perfect cross­flow of the cartridge for opti-

mum air purification.

After filling the cartridges are
vaccuumized and the density is
checked.

Replacement cartridges

from uncontrolled sources

threaten your health not

only creating poor filter perfor­mance and icing of the brea­thing regulator, but also pro­ducing corrosion, which will
rapidly ruin the equipment.

Production- and material numbers
guarantee a perfect production control

The quality seal of an original BAUER
cartridge stands for purest breathing air

KOMPRESSOREN

KOMPRESSOREN

The compressed air

from the compressor block is
delivered to the final separa­tor. The separator effectively
separates oil- and water dro­plets.

The condensate

The condensate from the oil­and water droplets is collected
at the bottom of the filter
housing and is removed via
the condensate drain valve.

The pre-purified air

flows from the bottom of the
vessel through the molecular
sieve, which adsorbs the
remaining gaseous water. The
pores of the granules are
minute in diameter in order to
provide continuous filtration
and total removal of the water

Particle filter

holds all impurities and par­ticles.

An activated carbon layer

for breathing air applications
removes all organic impurities
such as oil vapour and hydro­carbons.

Purest air or gas

leave the filter cartridge and
are ready for the application.

The pressure maintai-

ning valve

keeps the filter housing conti­nuously under pressure to
increase the partial pressure on
the molecular sieve. So the
speed of the flow through the
cartridge is reduced, which
increases the purification effect
even more. Load cycles are
reduced, too - a positive effect
on the lifetime of the filter
housings and the operating
safety.

molecules.
The molecular sieve used by
BAUER matches perfectly the
granule and pore size for the
filter system. This is the only
way to comply with the strict
limiting values of breathing air
norms.

THE BODYGUARD OF YOUR FILTER SYSTEM

SECURUS FILTER MONITORING

SECURUS is simple to
operate

Mobile units, and those of
the KAP/ VERTICUS-F-Range
have a control- and moni­toring unit, which provides
information about the satu­ration status of the cartridge,
similar to a traffic light.

SECURUS protects
against damage:

All filter cartridges have a
limited life, which must be
monitored.
The patented SECURUS
system takes away from you
the important but annoying
responsibility of monitoring
the cartridge for the neces­sary timely replacement.

With SECURUS it is impossi­ble to overuse the filter,
which would damage the
following system with oil
and water.

This can only be achieved
with a patented sensor tech­nology, which is integrated
in the filter cartridge. The
integrated sensor indicates
the necessity for cartridge
change prematurely, war­ning in time about the
exhaustion of the cartridge
capacity and, finally switches
the compressor off.

Competitors systems, which
are available in the market,
which are fitted after the
purification system, provide
false safety!
They only warn the user
when it is too late: When
the cartridge is already
damaged and impurities
have occured.

SECURUS and B-Control:
full control - even online.

If the VERTICUS range is
equipped with the SECURUS
option, all messages are
shown on the display of
the electronic compressor
B-CONTROL.

Operators, who make use
of the new B-MESSENGER
can receive information via
SMS on their mobile tele­phone, via fax or even
online via email!

SECURUS helps to save
money:

The cartridge can be used
until complete saturation,
without any safety reserve.

FOR CUSTOM-MADE BREATHING AIR SUPPLY

BAUER STORAGE SYSTEMS AND FILLING PANELS

High pressure tanks ensure air is available at all times.

A perfectly designed storage solution adapted to the compressor guarantees constant

availability of breathing air, even in the case of a larger demand on short notice, inde-

pendent of whether the compressor is running.
Yet another advantage: The unit only switches on if the pressure in the tank drops below the
specified minimum value. Thanks to the low number of load cycles the durability of the
unit's components like the filter housing or final separator, are subject to pressure fluctuati­ons, increase accordingly.

In the course of unit planning and consulting our service team will naturally calculate the

custom-made storage solution for your respective unit size and individual filling requi­rement.
