Simplify and optimize
The “spool valve” in a central heating boiler is a component that mixes gas with air in a certain ratio. Our assignment for Remeha was to reduce the amount of parts in the composite product. The aim of this was to simplify the assembly process, reduce the cost price and reduce the required investment in moulds.
Challenges
An interesting challenge was developing further from the first concept that Remeha had. In this, Pi Development was allowed to continue development with a fresh look at the situation.
Cooperation
The collaboration between Remeha and Pi development was limited, but for a reason. After all, Remeha's wish was a new perspective on the situation. Pi Development has been freewheeling a lot to come up with new concepts and perspectives. After this initial free period, the detailing and production of the product continued in collaboration.
