A new project is about to start with Matís and partners. The project is particularly practical and involves the redesign and improvement of the bleeding and cooling equipment Dreka, which has been manufactured by Micro Ryðfrí Smíði ehf. from 2012 but the equipment has been used on board ships with good results.

The aim of the project is to increase the quality of raw materials and homogeneity of products with equipment that also ensures simple operation on board and takes up little space compared to other comparable solutions. To achieve these goals, the project aims to deliver the following three products:

Redesign of the Draka bleeding and cooling equipment with automation in mind.

Design of a vertical Dragon that can be placed between the tires, thus saving valuable space on board and also creating opportunities to improve blood drainage with increased fluid pressure during the bleeding process.

Design of a new solution that combines bleeding and cooling into one integrated. These solutions will then be tested and their results will be used in the preparation of marketing material.

Matís' partners in this project are Micro Ryðfrí Smíði ehf. and Skinney Þinganes.
