Description

Electroprecizia Electrical Motors is confronted with problems related to productivity, quality and environmental protection. The general objective of this project is development of an environmentally friendly technological production process to achieve exterior references (outer part of the motor) of die casted aluminium alloys for electric motors with high efficiency, which aims at improving the quality, the productivity and the environmenta aspect The project is expected - to decrese the consumption of metallic powders on the entire tehnological process, the electricity and the marsh gas used, - to increase of the electric machines efficiency from the energy class IE2 to IE3, - to decrease the consumption of raw materials by 3% in the die casting process, - to save raw materials, allowing development of high power motors in inferior limits (4kW from limit 100 shall transform to 4kW in limit 80), - to decrease the cost of quality by reducing the number of scraps by minimum 5%, eliminating casting holes from exterior elements casted from aluminium alloy for electric motors, - to increase productivity with 20% replacing 5 TSP machines with a number of 3 die casting cells, in the context of achieving the same number of parts, namely the same quantity of casted alloy - to create 11 “green” jobs in the production process. The project will benefit Electroprecizia Electrical Motors, the shareholders, the stakeholders, the production equipment supplying companies, Internal/external customers, Suppliers of raw materials, the local community and the end consumer of IE3 products.

Summary of project results

The project was needed in order to increase competitiveness and improve environmental impact of the production. The project consisted in: Purchasing and installation of 3 aluminum die casting machines ( 250TF); Purchasing and installation of 2 belt blasting system; Purchasing and Individual exhaust installations corresponding to each machine TSP; Purchasing of new set mould tool kit. All planned activities have been implemented successfully and project objective was achieved. The expected impacts are reduced toxic exhaust in the atmosphere and in working environment together with improvement of company competitiveness 11 new green jobs have been created thanks to this project. The environmental goal of the project was to implement and put in function exhaust installation in order to extract and filter the toxic air which is produced during the casting operation and filtered it before goes out into environment (the filtration efficiency according to data sheets of installation is 97.5%).In parallel with this other important green component was that the energy consumption decreased.
