Ruukki modernized the Ursviken press brake that had been operating at the Vimpeli, Finland plant for more than 20 years to meet today's needs and requirements. The tandem press brake is used to make high-quality steel purlins and diverse profiles to meet the needs of construction customers. The investment is an important one for customers, as there are only a few similar tandem-type press brakes capable of producing 16-meter profiles in the Nordic countries.
"Now we are able to serve our customers even more flexibly and quickly. Bending enables us to produce highly diverse and high-quality profiles quickly. Modernization makes the machine safer, improves the dimensional accuracy of the products and enhances the energy efficiency of the process. The upgraded machine uses significantly less electrical energy in relation to the number of profiles produced and thus the carbon footprint of the product decreases. The investment guarantees that we will be able to offer our customers cost-effective and high-quality profiles for years to come," says Tapio Videnoja, Plant Manager.
