A medium-sized transformer core cutting center in Europe reported a significant improvement in production quality after integrating the BROCKHAUS Inline Power-Loss Measurement (EBA) system into its slitting line, which has an annual capacity of 21,500 tons.

By preventing the processing of underperforming or mixed-up coils, the company achieved an immediate annual payback of approximately 105.000 € per line.

After one year of operation, the enhanced transparency into material performance enabled the substitution of around 11% of inputs with a lower grade, resulting in an additional annual benefit of about 250.000 €—with strong potential to double these savings as process knowledge and optimization continue to grow.

One of the world’s largest transformer manufacturers has been using the BROCKHAUS Single Sheet Tester for electrical steel incoming inspection since 2005—across most of its production facilities.

The in-depth knowledge gained from magnetic measurements—covering different suppliers, material grades, and their impact on the quality of finished transformers—has proven to be of exceptional value for both production and development.

Furthermore, by using the BROCKHAUS Single Sheet Tester for incoming inspection and identifying non-performing material early, the company achieved an average annual payback of approximately $95,000 per site.
