Enclosure & Electronics Cooling, Liquid Cooling and Signaling Solutions

Enhance Industrial Safety: with the SIL/PL-compliant Signaling Technology from Pfannenberg, plant operators can guarantee standard alerting in accordance with the Seveso III Directive.

The EU Directive, Seveso III, is based on the catastrophic accident which occurred in the Italian town of Seveso in 1976 which prompted industrial companies that use dangerous chemicals to prevent and control such incidents. This can be achieved by installing appropriate industrial alerting and alarm systems.

Pfannenberg's Top-Mount Cooling Units meet all industry demands for costs, space and energy savings.

Proper cooling is essential for temperature regulation in electrical enclosures. Our Top Mount Cooling Units provide 100% protection against condensate with their unique, patented condensate management.

BEMA (Bakery Equipment Manufacturers and Allieds) is an international, non-profit trade association representing leading Bakery and Food Equipment manufacturers and suppliers, whose combined efforts in research and development have led to the continual improvement of the baking and food industries.

Heat is a single common by-product of today's manufacturing machines that include the advanced automation technology required for both high speed operation and high precision. To keep these processes running, Industrial Cooling is critical.  When ambient conditions are at their worst liquid cooling is an ideal efficient solution.

The Challenge...

One of our machine tool customers needed a customized solution adapted to their customer's environment allowing their industrial electronics to operate at optimal efficiency. 

Micro-Channel cooling is a proven cooling technology that has been used in the Automotive and HVAC industry for over 25 years. Pfannenberg was the first company to introduce micro-channel condenser technology to the industrial process and electrical enclosure cooling industry.

Pfannenberg's North American headquarters are based in Lancaster, NY but the company serves customers around the globe with plants in Germany, Italy, China and recently Brazil.

Our internal company motto is "Sharing Competence" which allows worldwide teams to work together for a better understanding of our customers, providing dedicated service and solutions for projects globally.

Under construction for 15 years, the 35 miles Gotthard tunnel located in Switzerland is finally finalized and is due to open in 2016.

The Gotthard Base Tunnel impresses with many outstanding figures:

• It is the longest railway tunnel in the world at 57 km and its tunnel run, with all the transverse and connection tunnels, stretches over 154 km.
• From 2016, passenger trains should have a top speed of 250 km/h, reducing the travelling time e.g. between Milan and Zurich to under 3 hours and should almost double the haulage capacity on the Swiss North-South Axis to 40 m tons of goods.

Safety is essential, warning alarms save lives and prevent injury, this is why Pfannenberg Signaling solutions are used throught many different industries for numerous applications.

The marine industry is no exception as visual and audible signaling devices are required for boat warnings. The State of Alaska Department of Fish and Game contacted Pfannenberg to install a flashing sounder to replace the warning alarm on one of their boats.

We are growing! We are currently about 1/2 way through the expansion of our North American headquarters. Once completed we will be adding new engineering and office space to accomodate our growing team.
