Success Stories: Customer Success Story: Air Knives Let Company Stand Out
The Achievement
€œThanks to the professional team at STANMECH, we are saving time, money and raising the quality of our product,€? says Sylvain Plourde, president of Les Trois Mousquetaires, a beer manufacturer in Brossard, Quebec.
The Challenge
The company needed a fast, efficient and economical system for drying beer bottles before they were labelled during the production process.
Why STANMECH
Sylvain chose to work with STANMECH because €œthey had prompt local technical representation and good descriptive examples from their literature and professional Web site,€? he declares.
The Details
Les Trois Mousquetaires had a real nightmare with their bottle washing and drying.
€œWe used to wash, rinse, label and leave our bottles to dry in cold storage for three days before the filling process,€? explains Sylvain. €œAfter filling, some of the bottles would stay humid and the labels didn€™t always stick well. Some would wrinkle, peel and slide off completely. It resulted in numerous bottle rejects and decreased production. We had to increase our manpower, drying time and resources to produce only limited results.€?
They contacted STANMECH in July 2007, and STANMECH staff began studying the company€™s production process. They surveyed and recorded the environmental and production parameters, photographed equipment and drew the production layout. STANMECH then took bottles for a simulation of the production conditions to test various drying solutions.
€œThey didn€™t try to sell us a system on the spot,€? says Sylvain. €œThey wanted to work with us to solve our problem. That impressed us.€?
Solution Specifics
STANMECH recommended an economical and energy-efficient air knife bottle-drying system that would save energy, eliminate bottle moisture and reduce production time. The system was made up of a jet 2 high-speed motor and blower 550 VAC 3-phase, a variable frequency drive 20HP 400-480 VAC with a human interface module, four 22-inch jet blast air knives and mounts, and eight nozzles.
€œSTANMECH presented an investment analysis that showed a payback for us in less than one year,€? notes Sylvain. €œThe system came as a turn-key package with preprogrammed settings customized for our production drying goals. It was very easy to assemble and hook up out of the box. We just had to plug and play!€?
The Results
€œIt helped us get the weekends off!€? jokes Sylvain of the STANMECH air-knife system. More seriously, he adds that the solution has tripled their production. There have been other benefits as well.
€œWe are currently one of the only micro breweries in Quebec that uses self-adhering labels on our beer bottles because of the very efficient job from STANMECH€™s Airknife system,€? says Sylvain. €œWe no longer are limited to standardized labels. Now we can create versatile and creative label designs. This makes us stand out from the rest.€?

Better Products with Deflashing System
The Achievement
A Tier 2 supplier to the automotive industry improved their production line with a STANMECH deflashing system.
The Challenge
A company providing parts to a firm that serves an auto assembly plant had a short area of flash that had to be taken off their product. The flash had been manually removed by propane torch, but the company wanted to replicate the deflashing system their sister facility had set up in Europe.
They wanted the product to be deflashed as it left the moulding machine, still being held by the robot arm. The deflash control had to be interfaced into their existing line process.
Why STANMECH
The company knew they needed a Leister product and research led them to STANMECH, the master distributor for Leister in Canada.
The Details
Shortly before Jan. 2005, STANMECH made a site visit to the company€™s plant to study their production line. Discussions were conducted and then STANMECH developed a demonstration solution in their Burlington facility. It involved two heaters, a blower and customized nozzled with thermo-couples, specifically the Leister Tool 3000 coded 101.426 with a wide-fit Ghibli nozzle, part number 106.998, and the Robust Blower part number 103.431. Leister parts are interchangeable and have scalability.
The thermo-couple temperature feedback allowed each tool to operate to the temperatures of the section that was presented to them. STANMECH is known for customizing solutions to customers€™ precise needs.
The Results
STANMECH€™s customized deflashing system met the company€™s needs. They succeeded in manufacturing a better product with fewer parts rejected after painting. In addition to improving and increasing their productivity, they were able to reassign staff who had previously done the deflashing by hand.
Testimonial: NuMED Canada Inc. of Cornwall, Ont. is happy with their productivity as a result of STANMECH's products. "We have had not problems meeting our increased demands, and our customers are very happy with our delivery times," says Del LaFleche, General Manager.
Francois Vaillancourt, purchasing manager for Groupe Bedard/Beacon Canada of Montreal, turned to STANMECH to provide a Varimat and Triac Hand Welder for the necessary function of welding PVC membrane. The equipment is performing well.
Brent Sereres of Mississauga's Poly Pro Welding has not a single bad thing to say about STANMECH. On the contrary, he says he finds the staff courteous and knowledgeable, and the service fast and efficient.
