Reducing the amount of water used for water leak testing and the amount discarded

Water used for water leak testing in the silencer assembly line became dirty quickly, and it was necessary to change large quantities of water once every month. We endeavored to reduce the amount of water discarded by deploying new equipment into the silencer assembly line in October 2019 so the testing could be completed using a single machine rather than two.
