MTL is a major UK supplier of Hardox, a high-strength abrasive plate made in Sweden by SSAB and known as a hard and tough steel for aggressive environments. MTL processes steel to supply safety critical parts including booms, chassis and major structural components for the construction and quarrying sector.
The plates will be delivered by MTL to an unnamed customer, cut and pressed using the firm's state-of-the-art equipment at the 300,000 sq ft facility, including the newly installed 6m x 2.5m Trumpf Laser 8000 cutting machine with automated handling system, the largest installation of its kind. The handling system provides increased efficiency and exceptional quality.
MTL said it worked closely with the customer on the project, turning around high volumes of material efficiently to ensure that all work adheres to a tight delivery schedule. 700 tonnes will be delivered over a four month period.
MTL offers a specialist added value engineering service called Design for Manufacture (DFM), where a dedicated team come together at the design stages, to review the customer's design and look at alternative processing methods to reduce weight, cost and increase the protection levels, resulting in cost savings for the customer.
