Case: Drum pulper

A 900m3 sheet-metal structure, optimised using a FEM calculation.

         

Previous weight 32t                                                              New weight 18t

A modular sheet-metal structure lightened the drum pulper by 44%.

Cost-savings were achieved in addition to material savings: Cutting -55%, edge trimming -20%, welding -95%, machining -90%, packaging -40%, transportation -50%.
