To meet increasing demand and enhance efficiency, TPK OROMETAL required advanced metal forming machines, including a plate roll and a flanging machine. Expanding capabilities and strengthening its position required high-performance equipment to streamline operations and boost productivity.
Familiar with Faccin Group’s reliability, TPK OROMETAL had used Boldrini flanging machines for nearly 30 years. Positive industry feedback and ongoing innovations reinforced its trust, influencing the decision to invest further in Faccin Group solutions.
Decision-Making Process
Choosing the right equipment was a collaborative effort involving TPK OROMETAL, Lorsel Group (Faccin’s agent in Croatia), and Faccin Group experts.
Jendriš from Lorsel Group assessed production needs and worked closely with engineers to select optimal machines. Factory visits confirmed the equipment’s superior performance, and Faccin’s reputation, strong technical support, and professionalism solidified the decision.
Solutions Implemented
TPK OROMETAL adopted the Faccin 4HEL plate rolling machine and the Boldrini RIBO flanging machine.
The 4HEL machine ensures precise bending for steam boiler shells, pressure vessels, and heat exchangers. Its simultaneous roll movement, micro-positioning, and electronic balancing system enhance productivity and precision. Capable of handling 3050 mm plate lengths and 50 mm thickness, it offers durability and efficiency.
The RIBO flanging machine manufactures dished heads for industrial applications, enabling high-quality output. Features include high torque, speed, an automatic flanging cycle with pressure control, and electro-hydrostatic evolution control. It processes carbon steel plates up to 20 mm thick, torispherical dished heads with a maximum diameter of 4000 mm, and semi-elliptical dished heads with a maximum diameter of 3000 mm.
Implementation & Performance
The machines integrated seamlessly into TPK OROMETAL’s production, operating without malfunctions and minimizing downtime. Lorsel Group and Faccin Group provided excellent support from consultation to implementation, ensuring smooth adaptation.
Efficiency Gains & Market Impact
TPK OROMETAL uses an ERP system to track manufacturing efficiency, optimizing workflows and minimizing errors. The 4HEL machine enables pre-bending of components, reducing waste and improving precision, increasing production capacity by 30% while cutting production time significantly. The RIBO flanging machine improved efficiency, increasing capacity by 25% and reducing production time by 50%.
These upgrades allowed TPK OROMETAL to complete orders faster, secure new contracts, and expand its European market share, driving a 10% sales increase.
Company Overview
Founded in 1957, TPK OROMETAL evolved into a modern manufacturer of power and process equipment, including steam boilers, pressure vessels, and CHP plants. With 106 employees, the company prioritizes efficiency, high-quality production, and strong business relationships. Advanced computer systems support streamlined material management, production oversight, and design processes, ensuring continuous industry leadership.
