PC FABRICATIONS SAVES UP TO £20K
PER YEAR FOLLOWING NITROGEN
GENERATION SYSTEM INVESTMENT
Steel and aluminium fabricators, PC
Fabrications, has experienced significant
savings after investing in a Noblegen
nitrogen generation system.
Provided and installed by supplier of
leading laser cutting and metal fabrication
equipment, MBA Engineering, the
Noblegen Nitrogen generation system has
been installed in PC Fabrication’s Leeds-
based factory to produce nitrogen for the
company’s laser cutting machine.
Having previously bought nitrogen in
bulk pack form, PC Fabrications can now
produce its own in-house, eliminating the
expenses and CO2 emissions associated
with regular deliveries of the gas. The
systems are set to run as required, so no
nitrogen is wasted, and there’s no need to
stop production completely to replace gas
cylinders – another process which costs
valuable time and money.
PC Fabrications has received continued
support following the purchase of its laser
machine from MBA 2 years ago, and the
same applies to its most recent purchase
with MBA Engineering on hand to assist
with any servicing and maintenance
needs.
“The investment really speaks for itself,”
said Paul Close, managing director at
PC Fabrications. “The monthly savings
mean PC Fabrications will have paid
off the cost of the nitrogen generation
system in less than three years. Instead
of outsourcing our gas, we can produce
it on site, creating valuable floor space as
the generation system takes up less space
than storing cannisters. Knowing the MBA
Engineering team is on hand 24/7 offering
servicing support is incredibly reassuring
when downtime can be so costly to a
manufacturer.”
MBA Engineering exclusively partnered
with Noblegen last year to save laser users
up to £1,000 per month on gas costs.
Bradley McBain, Managing Director of
MBA Engineering said: “One of our key
aims is to provide valuable cost savings
to our customers and help reduce their
178
PECM Issue 38
overheads. Combining the British-made
nitrogen generation system with a laser
cutting system creates a sustainable, cost-
effective laser cutting solution.
“As well as providing the equipment,
we will also manage the installation
and provide complete support once the
equipment is in-situ.”
