About this case

Introductions

MMC Contractors, now known as Cerris Systems, is a pipe spool fabricator with multiple locations across the United States and collaborated with HGG to develop the groundbreaking ProCutter 900 RB.

This robust, heavy-duty machine is specifically designed for fabrication shops and includes a sideways offload feature. Since introducing the ProCutter 900 RB, MMC Contractors has experienced remarkable improvements in production, achieving a significant reduction in cutting time and enhancing overall efficiency.

Breaking ground

Mark Janning: “At the time we met with HGG we worked with a more primitive machine to feed our welders, the need to make the next step into a fully automated system was apparent. We just needed to find the right machine to fit our shop. A guy that we worked with a lot from another company came to us and said “Hey, have you thought about HGG?” My colleague Matt said: “HGG would be great, but they don’t make our machine.” And he said “they like to meet with you. They want to build the machine you want.”

Quickly into the conversation with MMC Contractors the HGG team realized that indeed we did not offer a machine that ticked all the boxes for them. Their needs and wishes however were clear and matched up perfectly with our ambition to build such a machine.

Side-ways offload build for heavy duty work

The main problem MMC was facing was that because of their shop lay-out a ‘standard’ linear outfeed just didn’t fit. Their lay-out demaned for the offload system to be orientated side-ways.

Having listened closely to their demands we made the decision to build a completely new machine from scratch. A machine that meets their, as well as our standards: Perfect cuts, save to operate and build to last. Mark: “They came here to our shop. He asked us what we wanted. We told him what we wanted. Drew up a little sketch of it on the dry and erase board about what this machine needed to look like to get into a fabshop like ours in the US market. And from there on we were sold.”

“The HGG is the heartbeat of the shop. It drives what gets done on a daily basis.”
