FUCINA ITALIA, FUCINA OF IDEAS…

Since 2019, the new ownership of FUCINA ITALIA srl has undertaken applied research, experimental development and innovation activities.

Thanks to its in-house team of qualified engineers, expert designers and highly specialized workforce, FUCINA ITALIA has defined two areas on which to focus its R&D activities: decommissioning and port handling.

The R&D projects undertaken, born from production needs and objectives, thanks to the strong integration between the various company functions, have contributed to the growth and enhancement of the stock of knowledge not only of the personnel involved but of the entire company.

In 2020, FUCINA ITALIA increased its investment in R&D by over 70%, keeping the distribution of human resources constant, focusing on projects related to decommissioning and consolidating the excellent results in the port handling sector.

Internal investment has further contributed to the drive for growth and change that permeates the consolidated corporate culture and allows FUCINA ITALIA to increasingly offer itself, in the selective reference market, as a reliable partner and always ready for new challenges.

NUCLEAR DECOMMISSIONING

Nuclear decommissioning includes all operations aimed at the complete decommissioning and safety of industrial facilities and plants belonging to the nuclear chain. The experience gained over the years in this sector has allowed us over time to be involved in the front line in the design and construction of facilities designed and built for the following main purposes:

 

  • Decommissioning of decommissioned nuclear facilities;
  • Inertization of liquid and solid radioactive waste

The acquired know-how therefore makes us a highly competent partner and “problem solver”, able to range from the feasibility study to the concrete realization of the process and related plant engineering such as:

  • Dynamic confinement of contaminated areas;
  • Drainage and handling of radioactive liquid effluents;
  • Environmental and online radiological monitoring.

THE DRAWING THAT BECOMES MATERIAL

To increase and speed up the production phase, FUCINA ITALIA can boast, within its fleet of equipment, a new sheet metal cutting machine capable of operating in oxy-fuel or plasma cutting mode based on the need or less than making cuts of greater precision and quality.

 

The main features of the machine are:

 

AUTOMATIC CUTTING MACHINE – DAMI MODEL HD 5500

Useful cutting width 3050mm

Useful cutting length 12200mm

External cartridge suction filter

SANDBLASTING AND PAINTING DEPARTMENT: AN ESSENTIAL SECTOR FOR FUCINA ITALIA

With a useful opening of 6x6m and a length of 40m, the Sandblasting/Painting area, equipped with sand recovery and continuous aspirators with special bag filters, allows you to accommodate small and large artifacts, guaranteeing optimal results in a short time.

The sandblasting treatment is one of the most used methods before a painting process; the large or small pieces are hit by a vast range of abrasive materials, depending on the type of result to be obtained, in order to bring them back to white metal.

The painting is applied in liquid with compressed air.

To guarantee the procedure, process and final painting quality checks are carried out by the Frosio III level inspector, with the release of supervision and inspection certificates to the customer with measurements and adherence tests.
