THERMAL SEASONER
January 2020
SIM S.r.l. purchases a thermal seasoner. This machinery is capable of simulating the air curing of ceramic compounds, regulating temperature and humidity, and allows to speed up the time between the demoulding of raw materials and subsequent the sintering in our industrial furnaces. It also permits the total elimination of deformations due to windy days.
Furthermore, always at the beginner of 2020, our company:
- obtained the ISO 9001 2015 certification undertaken with TUV;
- implemented its quality control with sophisticated machinery dedicated to the quality checks placed on all the made shapes;
- implemented the foreign sales office and the quality control office, with professionals having over thirty years of experience in the specific industry.
BENDING MACHINE WITH MOVABLE HEAD AND AUTOMATIC CUTTER
March 2022
SIM Srl invests in the production of electrical heating elements with two automatic machines: this investment guarantees a strong reduction in processing costs and the production of heating elements with corrugated shape in a single body without measurement limit, so to eliminate welding in several segments.
Both machines are programmable directly from the technical office and reduce the geometric tolerances related to the specific construction of the shaped elements to decimal measurements. Moreover, thanks to the precision of realization, the already rigid tolerances related to the electrical resistivity of the heating elements (ohms), self-imposed by the company, are considerably reduced.
THREADER / AUTOMATIC DRILLING MACHINE
MAY 2023
Following the trend undertaken over the last five years, SIM Srl continues its investments in fully automated machinery, which guarantees lower labor costs and absolute precision in processing. The THREADING / DRILLING machine, once loaded with bars of the right diameter, provides polishing, mechanical threading and drilling of the bars to quickly create the terminals of the electric heating elements, allowing a significant reduction in delivery times and costs. Productivity has an increase of more than 35% compared to the traditional method.
HEADQUARTERS EXPANSION = TOTAL AREA REACHED 11,000 M2
SEPTEMBER 2024
SIM Srl doubles its production area, expanding its headquarters on Via IV Novembre in Cuggiono with a second warehouse. The covered area reaches 5,500 m2, while the total area reaches 11,000 m2. The investment allowed us to divide the production into two warehouses, one for ceramic processing, the other for the construction and assembly of electric heating elements and for the construction / revamping of heating systems on behalf of our customers. The large courtyard area now guarantees loading / unloading at three different stations, facilitating the mentioned operations and reducing logistics waiting times.
INSTALLATION OF NEW INDUSTRIAL FURNACES = GREEN CHOICE
NOVEMBER 2025
SIM Srl is completing the project to decarbonize its production processes, which began in January 2020. Two new industrial electric furnaces for the T. Max 1300°C are installed, replacing the last combustion plant. Emissions from the firing of our ceramics have thus eliminated CO2 and now emit only water vapor, expelled during the thermal sintering cycle.
