How FORMAT products secure the mountains of Slovakia
A customer of our dealer AG Náradie s.r.o. from Slovakia relies on the quality of FORMAT products. They install snow nets as avalanche protection systems.
Challenge
Avalanche protection is not only an enormously important venture, but also a very precise one. Just a small mistake when installing protection systems can have serious consequences. This is why the right tools are crucial when installing snow nets, for example. A customer of our dealer AG Náradie s.r.o. from Slovakia therefore relies on the quality of FORMAT products.
Solution
The customer of our dealer relies, among others, on the FORMAT core drill (EAN: 4317784560900), for the production of avalanche barriers. With the help of a magnetic core drill, many holes are drilled into the solid beams made of thick-walled steel for subsequent assembly. The FORMAT drill can also handle very tough material and has a long service life, making it ideal for this type of work. The core drill only cuts a thin ring of material with high precision. The drill core that remains is pushed open by spring force via a guide and ejector pin. In this way, the chips are quickly removed upwards, and the risk of breakage is minimized. Another special feature is that it requires little energy for large drilling diameters. Compared to a twist drill, only a small part of the total surface is machined. This saves both – time and energy.
The FORMAT angled screwdriver set (4317784202145) is a reliable all-rounder and is used to loosen and tighten the screw that holds the core drill in place.
Advantages
Thanks to the durability of the FORMAT core drill, it can be used more often than other drills. If you calculate the cost per hole drilled, this significantly reduces production and installation costs. At the same time, high safety standards are maintained without incurring high costs. Thanks to their quality, FORMAT products are able to fulfil the requirements for safety and precision when installing avalanche protection systems. The customer of AG Náradie s.r.o. therefore clarifies that FORMAT products also indirectly ensure safety on passes and slopes and contribute to the protection of people in world’s mountains.
