Brazil’s Aço e Ferro, a scrapyard in Castanhal, Pará, increased productivity by 300 per cent, thanks to switching to Hypertherm Powermax105 SYNC® plasma cutter!
The company was previously losing business due to being unable to keep up with the increased daily volume of scrap coming in from the mills and foundries it serves. Using oxyfuel was no longer fast enough, so it reached out to a supplier who suggested plasma.
Since switching to Hypertherm Powermax105 SYNC®, the company has been able to catch up with its production and increase productivity by over three times! The Powermax105® plasma system finishes jobs faster with cut speeds 3x greater than oxyfuel on 12-mm mild steel, making it the perfect solution for Aço e Ferro.
