Case Study: Bharat Foils cuts costs and boosts productivity with Hypertherm cutting consumables

Bharat Foils cuts costs and raises productivity with genuine cutting consumables Hypertherm finds success with its anti-counterfeiting efforts again

Bharat Foils Limited, an India-based manufacturer of grain milling equipment, faced challenges with productivity and operating costs. The company was unknowingly using counterfeit plasma cutting consumables for its six Hypertherm Powermax85 systems, which led to poor cut quality, slow cutting speeds, and frequent consumable changes that increased expenses.

Hypertherm intervened by demonstrating the superior performance of its genuine Cu+ consumables through a side-by-side trial. The results proved Hypertherm's consumables lasted 3 to 4 times longer and increased cutting speeds by 68% on average. By switching back to genuine consumables, Bharat Foils reduced its consumption level by 40%, greatly improved product quality, and significantly boosted overall productivity and growth.
