Maschinen- und Behälterbau GmbH in Daaden
Maschinen- und Behälterbau GmbH, known as MABE, based in Daaden (Rhineland-Pfalz), has been producing customized vacuum, pressure, and high-pressure vessels for various applications since 1967. These include vessel solutions for the compressed air industry, construction industry, environmental technology, for compressed air preparation, or for oxygen storage. Both serial production of vessels and custom-made vessels with variable vessel volumes from one liter to 35,000 liters are possible. The continuous monitoring of weld seam quality is ensured by our own X-ray system on-site. The company employs around 40 people and is a subsidiary of Walter Henrich GmbH.
Guideline
Our main goal is the production of pressure vessels and pressurized components to improve and further to develop in order to provide you with the best quality and reliability.
- The increasing demand towards customer satisfaction trough continues improvement is our main activity.
- Our well trained and capable employers enable us to find solutions for almost any requirement of our customers.
- As a mid-size family owned company we strive to perform with excellence in the areas of process development, production and service, to be responsible forwards the people in our environment.
Our customers, supplies and service provider are our partners and like to work with them in the long term. Trough togetherness and a trust based cooperation we assure the company success.
Technology
Further developed – further improved
Through the application of dedicated, consequent oriented towards product quality and economical equipment, we are able to produce consumer oriented pressure equipment in all different diameters, volume and pressure categories. Our design and manufacturing capabilities range from
- CAD / 3D supported calculation and drawing creation
- Via bending and welding equipment ranging up to 2,600 mm and part weights of up to 6 tons.
- Pressure testing equipment with capacity of 30,000 litres and pressures up to 150 bars.
- In addition, we create vessel documentation in all European languages.
With MABE Smart Control, we enable full transparency in the compressed air supply of your entire system. The retrofit sensor solution allows you to detect leaks early to prevent energy waste and costly production downtime. All relevant data is always available in the clear MABE Smart Control app.
Quality & Environment
Sustainability and resource-conserving operations – a matter of course for us
Your satisfaction is our top priority. Therefore we always work on improving the product and process quality. We guarantee high class manufacturing through strategic planning, precise examination and documentation.
- Through our modern x-ray equipment, personnel and our pressure, ultra sound our qualified and magnetic particle testing, we are able to monitor our manufacturing processes in real time.
- We are certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001:2008 und DGRL 2014/68/EU, Module H/H1 specifications and implemented a quality system, which exceeds the requirements of 9001:2008 and the HP0
- Safety is the top priority during the production of pressure vessels. For that reason we apply an additional Longitudinal inner weld seam to the regular outer weld.
Together we can make sure that we preserve our environment. Therefore we strive to use our resources in a sustainable way.
