Successful Case Studies

Case Studies 1

Customer Objective was that Wet mass of medicinal herbs was required to be handled and transferred from one process area to another and was further required to dump into reservoir, with high productivity

Specific Challenge was that This wet mass was required to be fill in various drums and was later on required to transport into reservoir area (agitator) and dumped into it manually.

In order to provide optimum solution, Team Josts studied the application and suggested to use 4-wheeler Dumper Platform Truck, considering floor condition and stability aspect of the dumper. With this the operation became easier and Productivity was also increased

Results
1.Overall safety was increased
2.Customer was successfully able to shift various components, parts and loose Material without any Material loss due to Slippery.

Case Studies 2

Customer Objective was to effectively manage the material shifting without any slippage

Specific Challenge was that Earlier before reaching Jost’s, customer was facing the material slipping issues while moving material from one place to another. Due to this customer was facing Loss of Material and was facing Safety Problems.

In order to provide optimum , Solution Team Josts had studied the application and suggested Customised Platform Truck with side Flaps.

Results
1.Instead of manually carrying 100 Kg drums number of times, a single platform truck was then started carrying 2000 kg load at a time, in a single transfer, thus increased overall Productivity.
2.Because Battery operated dumper was used, there was no pollution.
3.Time required to transfer complete load was reduced from 1 hour to 5 minutes.
4.Loading time was also reduced from 1 hour to 8 minutes, because of direct raising of dumper end by hydraulic power.
5.Area remained clean.
6.The same equipment could be used for transfer of herbal shrubs within the plant.
