Northern Tool Mfg. Co.

With the builders moved out, our addition is finally complete. The new Air Compressor Center from Kaeser arrived today. The electricians need to finalize their hookups to the compressor and new 120 Ton Plant wide cooling system. We should be fully operational before the end of the month. With only fire suppression needed before opening for employee use. We are almost there.

It's been a long road to get to this point. The benefits of the added room have already helped. The increased cooling capacity is much needed. We expect molding to have it's biggest year ever, and it will now be possible to run all of our molding machines at the same time on the hottest days of the year.

With the addition we've added some Green Tech. LED motion sensor lighting (the rest of the building soon to be converted), epoxy flooring, sealed windows, Compressor's VFD motor, and the compressor's discharged heat has enough BTU's to heat the expansion on it's own (Will only need to add A/C!!).

Future improvements set for this year. Card swipe access, additional security cameras, VOIP phone system, Renishaw probes for CNC, new high speed milling machine, and possibility of adding an additional Wire EDM. We are well positioned to make '16 our best year ever.

Just Added. Doosan DNM500 High Speed Machining Center.
