The two project phases

During the installation of the first phase, the pipeline with diameters of 168mm, 110mm, 50mm and 25mm designated to feed the milling area of ​​the factory were used, being completed in just 40 days. This clay grinding area – raw material for Incenor products, is considered one of the most important stages of the factory’s production process.

In the second stage of assembly, pipes with diameters between 63mm and 25mm were installed in the new enameling area of ​​the factory. This area is intended for the final treatment of Incenor products, such as enamelling and finishing the pieces. And once again, it was quickly completed by the Ecoget team. Considering the two phases, more than 1000 meters of Infinity piping were installed. This was the second project executed by Ecoget & Aignep to Incenor. The first project was executed 12 years ago in the first building in Cordeirópolis. As first building never presented problems in 12 years Aignep‘s Infinity line and Ecoget was a safe choice of Fragnani Group new lines located in Bahia.
