LÖRRACH, KARLSRUHE/Germany. The steel supplier Schwarzwald Eisenhandel GmbH & Co. KG has once again relied on the expertise of KALTENBACH, a technology leader in the field of steel processing equipment, to install a saw drill combination, a shot blasting system and an automated transport system at its Karlsruhe location. Thanks to the close and cooperative partnership between the two companies, the project was successfully implemented in a very short time despite the limited space available in the production hall.

Increased customer demands

The steel market is undergoing change, and customers' demands for fast delivery times and high-quality products are constantly increasing. In response to these requirements, Schwarzwald Eisen decided to install a further system in Karlsruhe with a saw drill combination, shot blasting system and automated transport system. KALTENBACH quickly disassembled the old system, which could only saw and drill at a limited speed and installed the new one. The limited hall space meant that the KALTENBACH team focused particularly on a space-saving and effective arrangement of the drilling, sawing, blasting and transport systems.

Schwarzwald-Eisen CEO Alexander Hatt expressed his satisfaction with the cooperation with KALTENBACH and the quality delivered: "Since the commissioning of our first KALTENBACH sawing system over 20 years ago in Lahr, we have always trusted in the quality and reliability of the machines. Installing further systems in Freiburg and the consistently positive experience with the service and help desk have confirmed our decision to rely on KALTENBACH."

Quality from a single source

KALTENBACH supplied the required systems as a one-stop shop, ensuring rapid installation and coordinated processes. Andreas Pregger, Sales Engineer KALTENBACH GmbH + CO. KG, highlights the flexibility of the new system: "The overall system is capable of processing a wide range of different profiles that are required in steel processing. A high level of processing quality is guaranteed for both small and large dimensions." The new roller conveyors also connect the individual work steps with each other and ensure a continuous and efficient material flow and optimized processes.

The KALTENBACH equipment is also characterized by its sturdiness, durability, simple implementation and integration as well as cost-effective maintenance. Schwarzwald Eisen has permanent access to KALTENBACH's highly qualified technical help desk and receives the best possible support even after commissioning. The installation of the KALTENBACH systems in Karlsruhe means that Schwarzwald Eisen is ideally equipped to meet the increasing demands of the steel market.
