MPI Case Study: How MPI Solved a Plant Production Bottleneck for Tier 1 Automotive Supplier
Many metal forming manufacturing companies are plagued with weekly downtime due to scrap handling equipment. MPI solved a Tier 1 Automotive supplier scrap metal challenge by installing 450 feet of underground conveying equipment. Metal is transferred reliably and quietly via the smooth, low frequency horizontal motion-sealed pans. The new conveyor system removes scrap from 13 presses into a distribution system at rates up to 15,000 lbs./hr.
