Faced with strict market regulations on industrial waste disposal, an international tool steel solutions provider in Taiwan turned to our renowned industrial cleaning systems for the perfect solution.
The company was formed in 1989. Located in Taiwan, it supplies high-quality tool steel from Sweden. Coupled with its leading metallurgical tooling services and technical know-how, it is a pioneer and leader in tool steel solutions in Taiwan.
Its product portfolio includes a full range of tool steel, steel for components and other quality steel products, designed for industries as diverse as automotive, electronics, home appliances, packaging, construction, offshore and recycling. It also specializes in physical vapor deposition coating systems, which is a physical coating process to optimize metal surfaces.
Challenge
As industrial land prices have steadily escalated over the years in Taiwan, this represents a challenge for manufacturers who needs land to manage their waste disposal generated from their operations.
The market’s stringent wastewater regulations also posed another hurdle for the company. To safeguard the environment and respond to public demands, Taiwan’s Environmental Protection Administration revised the required conditions for enterprises to operate wastewater treatment facilities properly and improve the quality of Taiwan’s waterbodies.
The company needed a solution to help reduce water disposal efficiently and meet the requirements from the government.
Approach
DKSH proposed the Novatec ultrasonic precision cleaning system and Borer chemicals cleaning solutions. Both brands are recognized in the industry for their wastewater management efficiency.
Novatec’s systems are well known for their surface preparation prior to PVD-CVD treatment and surface stripping. Their optimized equipment size is also ideal when land efficiency is a concern for the company.
Result
The solution has helped our customer to reduced the amount of wastewater accumulated from their current manufacturing processes and this subsequently reduced the company’s wastewater disposal costs, as tools cleaning was a labor-intensive part of the overall manufacturing process.
The efficacy of this move has had a significant impact on the quality of the finished products and governs the efficiency of the manufacturing process. The company recorded a stable production performance with enhanced production efficiency and improved product quality.
