ISO EN 17025 LABORATORY – CHEMICAL RECOVERY SYSTEM IN THE NEW CORROSION TEST ROOM

In June 2018, the Forge Fedriga Test Laboratory, operating at the testing and shipping premises of Berzo Inferiore and accredited according to the ISO EN 17025 standard, passed surveillance audit 2 conducted by the ACCREDIA Institute. In the new room, recently set up to conduct corrosion tests, a system for the automatic collection and storage of exhausted chemicals was installed. Waste liquids fall by gravity into a tank and are then pumped into a container, which is later disposed of as special waste by authorised companies.

BIENNO (BS) 25-26-27 MAY 2018 BIENNALE DI FORGIATURA – FORGE FEDRIGA PARTICIPATES IN FORGING CONFERENCE

The Bienniale di Forgiatura (Forging Biennial) was held on 26-27 May 2018 in Bienno (in the province of Brescia), a village historically famous for its water-powered smithies. This event attracts all artistic forging enthusiasts from both Italy and abroad, who take part in an exciting competition that involves creating an artistic product. A conference on forging was held as part of the event, during which Forge Fedriga presented a report entitled “Dalla fucinatura con il maglio alla pressa idraulica” (From hammer forging to hydraulic press forging). The purpose of this informative report is to illustrate the similarities and analogies between forging operations carried out with trip hammers and those carried out with modern industrial presses.

THE ISO50001 ENERGY CERTIFICATION PROCESS CONTINUES

Now that the energy audit is complete, performance management and monitoring will continue. In March 2018, the company began focusing on activities in the most energy-intensive areas, which lead to the implementation of an improvement plan, the collection of data and the analysis of energy performance indicators. The Forge Fedriga Organisation Chart has been revised to include people with the necessary skills and the ENERGY TEAM was appointed, a multidisciplinary group that will participate in decisions and evaluations aimed at reducing energy consumption.
