Case Study

Soraluce SP8000
→ Brazil

This project shows the handling of a Soraluce SP8000 for the Brazilian market: technically verified and measured, dismantled by our team and prepared for sea freight — plus accompanying support for installation and parts at the destination.

MBR role

Metrology, dismantling, logistics, commissioning & parts

1. Starting point

Large-format gantry mills like the SP8000 place special demands on condition proof, load securing and documentation for overseas shipment. The customer needed to know, before the investment, that geometry, critical assemblies and the logistics path were defensibly verified — not first on arrival at the port.

MBR was engaged because we run such projects technically and organisationally from one source: from measurement and verification through dismantle-ready preparation to sea-freight packaging and the later support for commissioning and spare-parts supply.

2. Verification and metrology

Before dismantling and packaging, the machine was technically released to a fixed scheme: documented condition of main assemblies, relevant geometric metrics and a defensible set of photos and inspection notes. The goal is that the state at destination remains traceable against the origin state — for insurance, import and later commissioning.

3. Dismantling and sea-freight preparation

Our team coordinated dismantling of the critical sub-assemblies, protection of sensitive surfaces and load securing for sea freight. Includes consistent weight and dimension declarations, clean labelling of packing units and coordination with heavy-load / container logistics — so the transition from factory to ship is documented without breaks.

4. Installation and parts at destination

After arrival, MBR supported installation and integration into the production flow — including interfaces typically arising in overseas projects. In parallel, spare-parts and supply logic was supported, so the customer doesn't idle once the machine should go productive.

5. Result

The SP8000 was technically verified, dismantled and sea-freight-prepared; MBR accompanied the onward path through supported commissioning and parts supply. Exactly this end-to-end responsibility makes such references plannable for our customers — and is a good reason to discuss projects of this scale with us.
