Customer case
Stable air quality and continuity in the production hall
Mokveld is a global leader in critical valves for the energy and water sectors. Production requires extreme precision: turning, milling and boring to three decimal places. A clean, stable and safe working environment is essential. Mokveld had been using various forms of mist extraction for many years, but was looking for a partner that could guarantee reliability, maintenance quality and continuity. That expertise was found in MP Solutions, which supplies the mist extraction systems and performs maintenance four times a year, fully relieving Mokveld.
A production environment requiring absolute precision
Mokveld produces customer-specific valves for critical processes within the energy and water sectors. These are complex long-lead items with delivery times that can extend up to a year. Machining operations take place on specialised machines with varying capacities, ranging from compact to very large. The high requirements for accuracy and process reliability demand a stable indoor climate and air quality in which both employees and machines can operate optimally. Mist formation from emulsion and high temperatures noticeably affected this stability, making a consistent solution necessary.
Critical challenges in air quality and maintenance
Before working with MP Solutions, Mokveld experienced difficulties with timely and proper maintenance of the filters in the extraction systems. Filters were cleaned by employees, but due to daily workload this maintenance was often given lower priority. This resulted in reduced air quality and increased risk of contamination and temperature fluctuations in the production hall.
In addition, the machine fleet varies significantly in size and load. As a result, a single uniform extraction solution was not suitable. There was a need for an approach in which each machine would be equipped with an appropriate, quiet and reliable extraction unit, aligned with actual usage.
Machine-specific mist extraction with structured maintenance
MP Solutions implemented AFS mist extraction on each machine individually. For every machine, a suitable unit was selected based on capacity, usage and thermal load. This prevents disruption of the hall temperature and keeps the climate stable for both employees and production processes.
Mokveld also chose a maintenance programme with four fixed service visits per year. MP Solutions maintains and replaces filters, carries out inspections and provides an annual overview of costs, system status and planning in advance. This ensures predictability and prevents unexpected issues.
A stable production process for the long term
Thanks to the cooperation with MP Solutions, Mokveld operates in a production environment that meets the high requirements of the international energy and water markets. The combination of high-quality mist extraction, machine-specific units and structured maintenance ensures a stable production process, a clean working environment and a technical service team that can focus fully on its core tasks.
