Innovating to discover increasingly efficient solutions for water management is a fundamental part of Caprari‘s core business. Thanks to its internal research and development division and production capabilities, the Modena-based industrial group is able to offer highly efficient and reliable products. Each new solution is designed to meet specific market demand in the most effective and technologically advanced way. With this objective in mind, Caprari internally develops exclusive patents aimed at improving the performance of its products.

Starting from the design stage, the company pays the utmost attention to all the measures that can improve the life of the product and has patented several devices like Defender, Easy Check, Sand-Out System, Smart-Fix System, ConnectoFlex, HT Coupling, and HT-High Trust Bearing that protect the pump and extend the product life cycle, reducing its environmental impact and overall costs for the end-user.

The MAC series Submersible Motors have significantly increased their performance thanks to the innovative HT-High Trust bearing, patented exclusively by Caprari (Caprari International Patent), with margins of tolerance that make the device extremely reliable in all conditions of use.  Today the HT-High Thrust bearing is present in MAC6 Submersible Motors as well as in the MAC8 and MAC10 larger-sized motors, both in cast iron and stainless steel version.

This special patent allows obtaining a more durable product and improved axial load resistance: Its performance provides the Motor with a structural oversizing with respect to the actual thrust that the wet end generates, even during operation transients. To achieve this result, the cage supports, and skids have been completely redesigned on new concepts. With the same dimensions, the HT thrust bearing withstands at least three times the load of a traditional Mitchell bearing.

Thanks to its exclusive and diversified know-how, Caprari provides complete solutions for every major water requirement, including collection from deep wells, wastewater and drain water lifting, water supply, and distribution for residential, industrial, and agricultural purposes and various water treatment applications. Innovation and reliability of exclusive products and services dedicated to the customer: these are the strategic assets that have always distinguished Caprari.

The road to the highest honor was built on solid pillars and high knowledge, and key gold points mentioned were: quality, machining maintenance, and the Karakuri system. As an industry 4.0 strongly focused plant, Bourbon-Lancy has applied its built-in innovative and research-oriented approach in a number of sector ground-breaking projects, mainly in the IT and logistic applications, such as the introduction of the Sherpa smart and mobile collaborative robots along the production line.

All these activities, projects, and team efforts, in addition to being internationally recognized by important scientific publications, have been honored by the label Industry of the Future, which acknowledges the most emblematic industrial achievements in France.

The Bourbon-Lancy plant is well known in the region for its commitment to sustainability,
with a number of projects focused on minimizing the impact of industrial activities and on
protecting the biodiversity of the surrounding environment, making it the ideal home of the
most successful natural gas-powered engines on the market. As a testament to it, in March, the 10,000th Cursor 13 NG engine rolled out from its production lines.

World Class Manufacturing is an international methodology for the organization of the manufacturing process and has been adopted, on a worldwide basis, by the most important companies in every kind of business, from automotive to services, from consumer goods to industrial tools.

WCM has the goal of continuously improving production performance and gradually eliminating waste, which helps to ensure product quality and maximum flexibility in responding to customer requests. All this is achieved through a structured and integrated production system that encompasses all the plant’s processes, from safety to the environment, from maintenance to logistics and quality, as well as the involvement and motivation of the personnel working in the factory.

WCM activities are formally audited at regular intervals and each production plant is assigned a score and the appropriate prizes and medals (Bronze, Silver, Gold).

Thanks to the application of the WCM methodology, FPT Industrial’s activities have been
undergoing a process of continuous improvement and achieving increasingly higher levels of competitiveness, thus contributing to set the company as one of the most important and reliable powertrain developers and producers on a worldwide basis. Thanks to the WCM approach, also customers can benefit from top-quality products.

“After receiving Bronze level certification in 2008 and Silver level in 2010, this incredible achievement rewards the hard work of the whole plant team of the last years. Each of us must be more than proud of what we were able to get working together day after day, always believing that we had the will, the capability, and the determination to make it to the top,”

says Luc Bernardini, Plant Manager of FPT Industrial’s Bourbon Lancy plant.

“I would like to thank from the bottom of my heart all the present and past workers of BourbonLancy for this glorious accomplishment. When you can count on people and teams like those, even the most challenging and apparently impossible gold dream can become true,”

comments Annalisa Stupenengo, CEO of FPT Industrial.

Since its introduction, the Magna M-Terrain has proven to be the ideal tire pattern for earthmoving equipment operating on challenging offroad surfaces. The demand from the market for made in Holland tires is increasing strongly, in particular the size 29.5R25.

With the current addition, Magna Tyres responds at the earliest opportunity and shows that they are capable to listen to the market and able to produce it within a short time.

Magna Tyres is now able to deliver a Made in Holland solution ranging from 17.5R25 to 29.5R25.

EUR.1 Certified

This unique robust E4/L4 tire, specifically developed for medium / large wheel loaders and articulated dump trucks has been completely manufactured in the Netherlands, resulting in the EUR.1 certificate for this tire. This certificate enables our customers in countries such as the USA / Brazil and Turkey to import this 29.5R25 M-Terrain at a reduced or nil rate of import duty under trade agreements between the EU and beneficiary countries.

Made in Holland

Magna Tyres Group is committed to delivering the required quality and guaranteeing the product availability demanded by its ever-growing customer base. Bringing back a part of the 25” tire production to our own Dutch factory has more than proved to be an excellent decision over the past years.

With this latest release of the 29.5R25 E4/L4 tire, we serve to anticipate current and future needs from our major Mining & Earthmoving customers.
