About the project
At Rosink GmbH, Value Engineering was applied during the further development of a new industrial cleaning machine. In addition to significantly improving the drying process—resulting in a much more energy-efficient machine—the company’s Corporate Design was also integrated into the development. This Corporate Design will be rolled out across the other washing machines as well, creating a consistent and recognizable brand identity throughout the product range.

Value engineering and corporate design RC 850 and RC 1250.

Value engineering of an Industrial washing machine for Rosink. A significant cost and lead time reduction.

What did we achieve?

The company offered a wide range of product variants but was unable to market them competitively. In addition, lead times were too long. Following the Value Engineering project and implementation of the solutions, the results were:

  • Lead time reduced by 50%
  • Total cost reduction of 33%
  • Reduced energy consumption
  • Improved ergonomics
  • Attractive product design

Smart product improvements

The drying process was changed from heating the entire interior chamber to using hot-air nozzles that direct heat only at the products. This made the process more efficient and reduced the thermal load. As a result, a lightweight double-walled plastic lid with insulating foam became feasible, eliminating the need for gas springs.

In addition, the plastic lid became a distinctive design feature in the company’s corporate color, making it unnecessary to paint the remaining stainless-steel components.
