Description

The project objective is to increase the green innovative value and sustainable economic growth of MSS 20 Ltd. The project aims to contribute to the application of innovative and green processes and solutions including reduction of production wastes and carbon footprint, more energy efficient production processes and green products. These goals will be achieved through implementation of the main activities of the project which include purchasing of eccentric press and purchasing of hydraulic variable rake guillotine shear.

The equipment under this project will help MSS 20 Ltd. to have complete production process without the need of outsourcing and reduce waste by using cold cutting, ensuring dimensional accuracy and thus leading to zero waste. The hydraulic variable rake guillotine shear will facilitate the production process, because the sheet metal will be cut to the exact size according to the given project and there will be no need to wait for delivery of a certain size sheet metal. It also saves time and energy (several machines are currently used for this process and a lot of space for sorting the individual stages). The eccentric press will be used for making service holes for electrical and plumbing in the metal profile, as well as for making several types of metal plates, which are currently purchased separately and thus the final product becomes more expensive. Furthermore, the new equipment will significantly reduce electricity consumption of the enterprise by reducing the daily hourly operation of the machines. Production processes also do not include welding in comparison with competitors on the market, which helps reducing harmful emissions from traditional metal welding.

The material for the mobile houses (as well as for the rest of the company’s products) that is used is galvanized steel which can be fully recycled and leaves no carbon footprint.
