Status before investment
- Two sources for the production of the TK1 and TK2 pressurized air turbochargers
- Central cooling through a cooling tower, which was to be relocated within construction of a high-speed forging machine
- Two device operators
- Excess production resources
Opportunity for change
- New micro cooling towers—savings in the cooling circuit
- Modern turbochargers with lower specific consumption and capacity according to the required parameters of current consumption by customers
- Semi-automatic mode, which reduces the equipment's serviceability
Status after investment
- Modern TK3 and TK4 turbochargers
- Central cooling through two micro towers
- Maintaining backup operation of the TK2 turbocharger in case of equipment service
- One operator for the entire equipment
