Video: Delivery of a new production line

We delivered a new production line to our customer. The blocks manufactured for modernization were transported as large units (please watch video / Olli Pahikainen). In this way, we enabled our customer to keep the production downtime short.

Next generation Robogrind under development

Our company has started to develop the next generation Robogrind machine (RGNG). Its first generation version was in production from 2000 to 2020.

The machine grinds the insides of chemical containers. Through grinding, remnants of chemicals and corrosion damage can be removed from the interior surface of the containers. At the same time, grinding time is significantly shorter compared to grinding by hand. The use of Robogrind can considerably extend the lifespan of these containers.

The new RGNG differs from its predecessor due to its simpler structure and more advanced automation. Its usability has also better than ever.

The budget for our project is close to 400,000 euros, supplemented by funding from the EU.
