HERGEN has received the renewal of its accreditation from
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
to produce Pressure Vessels with ASME Certification Section VIII Division 1
This certification is granted to companies that comply with the procedures determined by ASME for the production of pressure vessels.
The institution closely monitors the manufacture of each cylinder, thus ensuring that the products with the ASME seal are built according to the strictest and most recent international standards and are, above all, safe.
The renewed Certification is valid until 2023. HERGEN was accredited for the first time in 2017 and has been supplying certified cylinders since then to various parts of the world, such as the United States - where the ASME seal is mandatory - Eastern Europe and several Latin American countries.
Constant evolution
This is another major step by HERGEN in its constant technological evolution. Intense work and significant investments were necessary to accredit its manufacturing line of Drying Cylinders made of welded Carbon Steel plates.
This was all to provide not only more efficient but also increasingly safe products.
Quality assurance
The ASME accreditation gives HERGEN customers the assurance of purchasing products built according to the strictest procedures, which range from design, raw material purchase and manufacturing processes to the use of modern tools for quality control and certification of welded joints.
This, along with its manufacturing line – with a capacity to produce cylinders measuring over 7,000 mm in diameter and 6,500 mm in width – allows HERGEN to meet almost any need in this segment of the paper industry, with ever-present quality and safety.
A little about ASME
ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) is a not-for-profit membership organization that enables collaboration, knowledge sharing, career enrichment, and skills development across all engineering disciplines, toward a goal of helping the global engineering community develop solutions to benefit lives and livelihoods.
Founded in 1880 by a small group of leading industrialists, ASME has grown through the decades to include more than 100,000 members in 140+ countries. Thirty-two thousand of these members are students.
From college students and early-career engineers to project managers, corporate executives, researchers and academic leaders, ASME’s members are as diverse as the engineering community itself. ASME serves this wide-ranging technical community through quality programs in continuing education, training and professional development, codes and standards, research, conferences and publications, government relations and other forms of outreach.
