Case Study: Nordland Betong cuts mold repair time in half with Hypertherm Powermax45 XP

Powermax45 XP cuts repair time in half for concrete manufacturer

Nordland Betong, a Norwegian concrete manufacturer, faced a challenge with the slow and inefficient process of preparing cracked steel molds for welding. Using a grinder was cumbersome and often failed to achieve the necessary depth for a good weld, leading to significant production delays. They turned to vendor Hypertherm for a solution using the Powermax45 XP plasma cutter.

Hypertherm's solution with the Powermax45 XP and its gouging capability doubled the efficiency of the repair process. The time required to gouge a mold to the correct depth was cut in half, from 30 minutes to just 15 minutes. This resulted in molds returning to production faster, higher quality welds, and better end products. The vendor's system also proved versatile for other workshop tasks.
