- Location: Traiskirchen, Austria
- Industry: Plastics
- Topic: zwickiLine for plastic film tests for improving the quality of aerostrips
Aquaconsult Anlagenbau GmbH: Specialist for fine bubble diffuser systems
The company was founded in 1986 in Traiskirchen, Austria, and specializes in the development and production of fine bubble diffuser systems. With its Aerostrips diffusers, the company has been successful worldwide since 1995. Aquaconsult Anlagenbau GmbH, with its product Aerostrips, delivers fine bubble diffusers for wastewater treatment. Thanks to their durability and low energy requirements, Aerostrips help to make wastewater treatment more sustainable and also more cost-efficient.
Aerostrips diffusers are used in a wide range of applications, including:
- Municipal wastewater treatment plants: In cities and towns around the world, the diffusers provide efficient oxygenation and improve water quality.
- Industrial wastewater treatment: Companies use the diffusers to treat wastewater from production to meet environmental regulations and reduce operating costs.
- Aquaculture: In fish farms, diffusers help regulate oxygen levels in the water to promote fish growth and health.
- Biological reactors: In various biological reactor systems, such as membrane bioreactors (MBR), diffusers increase efficiency.
The task
Precise load tests: Solution for stable positioning of the crosshead.
The previous materials testing machine regularly lost its position on the crosshead, which impaired the performance of precise tensile and load tests. These tests required a reliable machine that could handle a wide variety of load and load removal cycles. The challenge was to find a solution that ensures stable and accurate positioning during the tests. In addition, the new machine had to be able to meet the high requirements for repeatability and load-bearing capacity to deliver consistent and reliable test results.
The ZwickRoell solution
Precise results for tensile and load tests thanks to the zwickiLine.
All necessary tests are now successfully performed with the zwickiLine machine. The machine enables a variety of test arrangements, from classic tensile tests to cyclic load tests to tests to determine friction forces and behavior. Due to its versatility and precision, the zwickiLine meets all customer requirements. It ensured stable and accurate positioning during the tests and delivered consistent and reliable results, which significantly increases the quality and efficiency of the testing processes.
"Our new zwickiLine replaces the predecessor model and offers impressive reliability and versatile functionalities for tensile and load tests. It enables precise and consistent results that far exceed our previous requirements. With the zwickiLine, we can now perform a wider range of tests and always rely on the highest accuracy and efficiency."

The result
Optimized testing process, improved reliability and versatility.
The old zwickiLine was replaced by a successor model. This new machine offers significantly improved reliability and versatility. Many processes now work more easily and reliably. Accurate quantification of the improvements is challenging, as the new machine offers functions that were no longer possible with the old model. In addition, test arrangements can now be performed that were previously theoretically possible but not tested. The new zwickiLine meets the requirements and enables a wider range of tests with higher efficiency and precision.
