New acquirements in Siliko Sevnica - marec 2006
There are several novelties at our production plant in Sevnica this spring: we have successfully began with the LSR (liquid silicone) production, settled new centre for tempering the articles, we have modernized the closed system of cooling water circulation in production plant, expanded the warehouse and last, but not least equipped completely new laboratory for testing the characteristics of articles and materials.
We have successfully began with the production of LSR (liquid silicone) articles in the beginning of 2006, which is one of more important novelties, since the LRS production demands specific machine equipment, moulding tools and also know-how.
We have also arranged new tempering centre with silicone articles tempering oven and other elastomer articles tempering oven. At the same time we have modernized our closed system of cooling water circulation at our production plant by setting more powerful pump that enables higher pressure and faster cooling water pouring.
A growing production reflects also in bigger amount of end-products and input-materials manipulation. Therefore we have decided to expand the present warehouse into another, neighbouring hall area, so that now the warehouse occupies two separated places:
- material warehouse
- end-products warehouse
On account of growing production and consecutively growing amount of warehouse-manipulation also the ProtoWraptor wrapping up device for faster and most of all easier wrapping up of carton packaging with protective foil was bought.
In February 2006 also a completely new laboratory in Siliko Sevnica was equipped. The laboratory is modern equipped with devices for testing the dimensional and physical characteristics of materials and end-products and among other contains also:
- profile projector
- reometer
- dynamometer
- high-precision scales for testing density
- density measuring devices ShoreA and IRHD micro
- laboratory ovens for aging of material
- other clasical measuring equipment
