technology does move on greatly. Therefore, we need to constantly keep pace with the latest technological innovations. The newer machines offer several advantages, including reduced maintenance and increased speed. For instance, what used to take us 24 hours to engrave can now be done in just six-to-eight hours with the latest machines. Moreover, these advancements allow us to enter new markets, which is a key focus for us with the recent equipment we have acquired.
“ Beyond that, one of the key technological areas in our manufacturing process is what we refer to as plasma spray. Every one of our products is coated with a material called chromium oxide, which needs to be sprayed using a high-tech gun that operates at high speeds and temperatures. The efficiency of this gun is crucial to guarantee both the effectiveness and quality of the spray.
In the past, we would spray ten pounds of material, but only about two pounds would adhere to the roll. This measure is known as deposit efficiency. Today, we have improved this process significantly. Now, when we spray ten pounds, approximately 6.5 pounds stick to the roll. This substantial increase in deposit efficiency is a direct result of our investments in new equipment. Ultimately, these advancements contribute to faster manufacturing and a reduction in waste,” John concludes.
