Increasing energy efficiency in Patlidganski Ltd.

Patlidganski Ltd. is an enterprise established in the year 2007 which initially provided only one service "laser cutting of details out of metal sheetings" for manufacturers of fireplace stoves. In the year 2008 the enterprise begun its own production of water drains for wet room drainage. Currently Patlidganski Ltd. manufactures 72 different types of metal drains meant for both the European and Bulgarian markets. Patlidganski Ltd. also offers the services laser cutting, manufacturing of inox products as well as steel shelves. The production process comprises 5 main phases - laser cutting of steel sheetings, bending, stamping, welding and grinding. The first three of the described operations are performed by new machines of the highest class and efficiency - laser cutting machine, sheet-bending press and punching machine while the welding is performed by hand by 1 - 4 old welding machines. The time dedicated to the process of hand welding with subsequent grinding is too long which results in a significant loss of energy. For the purpose of increasing the energy efficiency in the enterprise, during the production of bathroom drains, the implementation of the following activities is intended with this project, laid down in the energy audit, with opinion № BG16RFOP-233 / 07.09.2016 by AUER: - Acquiring of laser welding machine; - Acquiring of a ventilation system with heat recovery from the laser cutting machine's chiller; - Introduction and certification of energy management system in accordance with ISO 50001; The realization of the above mentioned measures will result in energy savings as well as a decrease in the other production costs. In addition, the decreased production time as a result of the project's realization, will allow for a significant increase in the enterprise's production capacity. During the realization of the project the appropriate measures for visualization and publicity will be taken.
