NEW HIGH TECHNOLOGY DEGREASING MACHINE BROUGHT INTO USE

At the start of June we brought a new, fully automatic degreasing machine into operation to be able to serve our customers even better. Following increasingly stringent environmental standards we were compelled to make a large-scale new investment that does, however, also create other opportunities for the future.

Until recently the pipes and pipe sections we produce were degreased in open baths. This is no longer allowed under environmental law.


EXTREMELY ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY AND EFFICIENT
We took this big step forward to be able to maintain our growth. Our closed degreasing machine can degrease pipes with a length up to 7500 mm, and the closed nature of system means the 4,000 litres of perchloroethylene cannot evaporate outside. After the degreasing process the residual content of 2 mg/3m is negligible.


UNIQUE IN BELGIUM
Our new machine is also the first such version to be brought into use in our country. Besides our own use of the machine, we now offer a degreasing service to third parties to have this take place in an environmentally friendly and specialised way.
