Tecnotri reduces costs by 50% with new Rotoline machine

With demand growing for reducing the cost of production, it is essential to find solutions to optimize processes and have better equipment. The same situation for Tecnotri, maker for rotomolding products to internal, external, and reverse logistics, present in Brazil and other countries South and Central Americas. The company, based in Vila Maria, state of Rio Grande do Sul, found in the Rotoline the ideal partner for developing an updated plan in your rotomolding equipment.

The Tecnotri, a customer of the company since 2001, had four Rotoline machines in your production line. In 2019, both did a measurement in one machine, which found an excessive consumption of GLP gas. The machine has 18 years in operation, the better solution was the replacement, held at the end of last year.

To exchange a machine may seem, at first, a drastic alternative. However, Maurício Scorteganha, director of Tecnotri, provides that the news equipment’s performance and efficiency compensated for the replacement: “How installation of the new machine, have a monthly economy of 15 thousand reais. The reduction of cost by 50% in relation to the old machine, made us very satisfied. This economy allows us to pay the financial cost of the machine and make a profit in relation to the company spent with prior equipment.”

Increase of up to 20% productivity

The new machine has resources of the last generation, how RWTC, which measures the external temperature variation and regulates the equipment consume according to this data. Also reduce consumption, the technology also smalling the cycle time, both in the oven and in cooling, depending on the temperature mold variation. Thus, it is possible to increase the car’s cycle number, which proposes 20% of the gain productivity, with 25 versus 20 cycles of the last equipment.

With the success of the operation, the Tecnotri resolved to implant RWTC resources in three machines existent. The software update brought considerable improvement efficiently, reducing their unconformities.”With RWTC, the machine keeps a uniform temperature no need for re-development, preventing the production of raw or burn parts, reducing we cost how supply and reprocessing. The ROI these updates were just three months”, affirm Scorteganha.

The director also highlights the remote maintenance offer of the Rotoline. The machines are connected with Rotoline headquarters, in Chapecó, State of Santa Catarina, Brazil. This connection allows a fast and efficient diagnosis, helps reduce the time of the stopped machine, and, also, small production fails.
