Prima Power in the HVAC sector

Find out what we do in the HVAC sector

Rapid industrialization, urbanization and improved living standards have favored the development of modern infrastructure, leading to an increase in demand for air conditioning, ventilation and heating systems. The trend is set to continue in the future, increasing the sales of HVAC systems worldwide.

The HVAC industry is characterized by high-volume production, even with low-volume batches or single parts. Combining productivity and flexibility is the main challenge in this industry.​​

Demand is increasing due to energy saving programs in the construction sector and the diversification of the product range.

The variety of materials used (e.g. galvanised steel, aluminium, stainless steel) requires very flexible systems to carry out the processing.

In this sector, quality is also a fundamental requirement. Products need to be tested and certified, so all systems involved in the manufacturing process need to be accurate and repeatable. Furthermore, subsequent machining must be avoided to increase productivity.

Most projects are cost-sensitive and therefore low operating, maintenance and labour costs, as well as reducing material waste, play a key role in the choice of systems to use.

Solutions

Find your ideal solution

Our family of systems covers the main processes involved in the production of HVAC systems: cutting, punching, forming, drilling, shearing, bending, and welding. One single supplier means better process integration, more efficient material flow, greater ease of use of systems and better investments.

Our systems have been designed for flexibility: our punching machines can use a large number of different tools, integrated punch-shear systems allow you to process even diversified parts with a single machine, fibre laser cutting systems (alone or combined with punching systems) are ideal for thin gauges and highly reflective materials typical of this sector.

Our systems are suitable for both high volumes and small batch productions, depending on your needs: avoid overproduction, reduce finished parts stock and obtain "just in time" production.

Our efficient and versatile nesting programs allow you to make the most of the sheet metal, separate components quickly, and reduce cycle times.

Our panel benders are an excellent solution for processing components in HVAC products because they meet demands in terms of piece size, thickness, volume and batches.

The high quality of components (such as brushed stainless steel or pre-painted metal sheets) made with our machines eliminates the need for subsequent machining, such as deburring or painting, and also reduces assembly time.

Practically, there is virtually no limit to the complexity of components that can be made with our machines.​​

Our 2D laser products can be used not only for cutting profiles, but also for making tightly woven grids, which are common in this sector.

Our 3D laser machines can make tubes and profiles using a rotating axis. The weld line obtained with our laser head is thin and precise while the penetration depth control is extremely accurate. This means that strong, watertight welds with uniform characteristics can be achieved, allowing hydroforming with pressurized oil and the creation of channels for water circulation in a heat exchanger.

All of our systems feature minimal setup times and allow unmanned production.​​​

Our wide range of automation modules enable highly efficient and flexible material flow and production without the need for supervision. These modules can also be added later, as budgets and production needs increase.

Our systems allow you to produce responsibly: more components at a lower cost, whilst respecting the environment with the "Green Means" approach.

Our services are an integral part of the product offering because they guarantee maximum availability and exploitation of your production capacity, as well as allowing future development.
