Hytrol Boosts Production and Cuts Costs with IntelliFinishing

 

Hytrol has revolutionized its finishing process with IntelliFinishing, achieving a 33% increase in production year-over-year while freeing up 24,000 sq. ft. of floor space. By replacing its traditional power and free system, Hytrol now benefits from reduced downtime, lower labor costs, and greater flexibility in handling parts up to 1,000 pounds.

The smart controls and friction-driven conveyor enable precise control, minimizing bottlenecks and improving product quality. Training new employees is easier than ever, thanks to IntelliFinishing’s intuitive system design.

With improved efficiency, Hytrol reduced its operations from two shifts to one while maintaining higher output. The system’s adaptability allows for in-house finishing of previously outsourced parts, saving the company over $1.6 million annually.

The IntelliFinishing system isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a game-changer, driving productivity, quality, and cost savings to new heights.
