Tooling manufacturer rewarded for shift to sustainability

By OEM Update Editorial May 12, 2020 3:02 pm

Dormer Pramet aims to lead a change in the metalworking industry by making sustainability an integral part of its business. At the core of this strategy is the use of new technologies and ways of workingthat deliver value for employees, customers, and suppliers, brought together under a programme called “Make the Shift”.

This encompasses a wide range of initiatives and targets under four key headings: Circularity, Climate, People, and Fair Play. A list of key actions and objectives are now in place with the aim to deliver all by 2030. This includes increasing recycling of its products and packaging material, reducing waste,lowering its CO2 impact, halving the total recorded injury frequency rate, developing a diverse and inclusive workforce, and engaging in community involvement projects.

An example of the very tangible results already achieved by this initiative comes from Dormer Pramet’s production and R&D department. Through international collaboration, a project team has made innovative technological developments that have enabled significant reductions in energy consumption and, at the same time, improved product quality.

By implementing new insulation on its furnace coating, the manufacturer improved the heating of its CVD coating reactor, significantly shortening cycle time. This not only improved the deposition conditions which affect the evenness of the coating on inserts, but it also generated a positive environmental impact, reducing CO2 emissions by 25 tonnes per year.

Dormer Pramet also modified the sintering cycle during the production phase. This involved a redesign of the gas flow passing through the charge, enabling a more efficient furnace. The project succeeded in shortening the length of a single sintering cycle by 100 minutes (10 percent of the total length of the cycle), while maintaining the quality of the process.

A gradual introduction of this new technology began in 2019 and will continue during this year, with an expected reduction in CO2 emissions of 14.7 tonnes per year. This activity resulted in the company being shortlisted in Sandvik Groups’ inaugural Sigrid Göransson sustainability award.

The new accolade is given to employees who have contributed to a particularly innovative solution, which has a measurable and lasting impact on environmental, economic or social sustainability projects within the company or local communities.
