            PROTECTING RESOURCES
            AND INVESTMENTS
              For some MSK machines, the
            cost savings due to resource sav-
            ings exceed the initial machine
            investment after only a few years.
            Machine characteristics such as
            maintenance-free time belt tech-
            nology, or the use of counter-
            weights to reduce the engine
            output through balancing, also
            increased the useful life of the
            systems. Water-based powder
            coatings and avoiding hydraulics
            and lubricants protect the envi-
            ronment. Since MSK produces
            its machines as modular systems
            and there is thus a lot of flex-
            ibility for future modifications
            and expansion. MSK palletizing,
            packaging, and conveyor systems
            provide a high level of invest-
            ment protection for new prod-
            uct requirements that are still
            unknown at this time. The avail-
            ability of spare parts also plays an
            important role if machines need
            to be reliably available for years
