Success Stories: Disposables
DISPOSING OF UNNECESSARY DOWNTIME
A major manufacturer of disposable personal care products recently shared an interesting experience with H2O Jet diamond nozzles.
As part of an internal effort to boost plant efficiency, each manufacturing shift was competing against one another to qualify for productivity improvement bonuses.
After a month, it was determined that one shift was consistently out-producing the others. Many factors were analyzed to determine why this shift was putting out so much more product. The single biggest difference that could be identified was this shift was able to dramatically reduce machine downtime.
Upon further investigation, it was discovered that the maintenance personnel on the winning shift had found a way to drastically increase orifice life on the waterjet cutting heads used for product trimming. Orifice failure was one of the major contributors to machine downtime.
What was their Secret? They were using H2O Jet Diamond Nozzles. By installing them at the beginning of each shift and removing them at the end, they had a secret weapon in their arsenal. Not only did the orifices last much longer, but they produced a superior jet stream that allowed the machine operators to increase line-speed for even greater product output.
You can bet your "bottom" dollar they won't go back to sapphire orifices!
If you don't want to get "soaked" with unnecessary operating costs, get H2O Jet Diamond Nozzles for your cutting application. You'll be relieved you did!
