\u201cMeeting your needs at every turn represents us impeccably. Over the years there have been several occasions and requests that justify this statement\u201d – explains Eng. Luca Mazzotti, General Manager of Maflex<\/strong>. The 3Ps of Maflex are Personalization, Preparedness and Partnership. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecause of the many different needs of converters, we diversify and propose projects tailored to their ambitions, production characteristics and the dynamics of the markets in which they operate, rather than canned packages\u201d – adds Mazzotti. \u201cMeeting your needs at every turn\u201d is Maflex\u2019s commitment to provide solutions that are as innovative, reliable and diverse as the everyday needs they serve. Tissue converting is very fluid: worldwide demands are affected by general trends and motivation. This can be due to the specific territory, industry constraints or original production needs. Maflex stands as an ideal partner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery product requires the right equipment to face the race! The goal is to achieve concrete results in the marketplace: OEMs teaming up with converters\u201d – says Mazzotti. While Maflex machinery is flexible and based on the modular philosophy, the Engineering Department does not exclude the integration of customized solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe customized solutions do not always demand revolutionary technologies, but they often pay off in advantages in production efficiencies\u201d – explains Luca Mazzotti. For example, a customer was looking for a highperformance continuous converting line capable of processing largediameter parent reels and producing a wide range of industrial rolls. A competitive layout was designed that provided maximum efficiency in terms of production flexibility and fast changeovers with minimal downtime. The line operates at a constant speed of 600 m\/min, ensuring maximum performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur project included top-loading unwinders model UT 250 that easily process paper reels up to 2500 mm in diameter at the required speed. The low ceiling of the building for which the line was intended, however, would not have allowed proper use of the unwinder with reels larger than 2100 mm in diameter\u201d – adds Mazzotti. Giving up the features of the UT 250 to use only smaller reels would have meant a significant decrease in overall productivity. The project would have lost its main objective: to meet the customer\u2019s ambition with a high-performance line. \u201cWe came up with a modification to facilitate the loading and unloading of the large parent reels by avoiding top loading\u201d – explains Mazzotti. The extraction of finished reels and the insertion of new ones takes place from a reduced height and makes the operations related to loading the reel with the overhead crane easier, faster and safer. Close collaboration with the customer is the added value of the innovation journey. This provides insight into original production ideas; feedback is of fundamental value in continuous improvement and research and development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnother case came up with the need to produce on both standard paper width (reel width 2750 mm) and reduced width (reel width 900\/1000 mm). The standard setup of a single reel unwind would have limited the production potential of the line by going against the principles of optimization and performance; the goal was to prevent the customer from losing productivity\u201d – says General Manager of Maflex. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A \u201ctwo-up\u201d unwind system (dual parent reels) was proposed – which maximized time and performance and led the plant to the next level of efficiency and productivity – and met the needs perfectly. Being faster does not always mean being more productive. Working consistently allows you to produce more efficiently and with higher quality. This is why Maflex focuses on maximizing machine efficiency while minimizing downtime, such as production changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe had to make sense of the customer\u2019s specific need, avoiding downtime and enhancing line performance instead of inhibiting it. To please them without betraying our principles!\u201d – adds Luca Mazzotti. Maflex stands out for its willingness to fulfill specific needs. Working closely with the customer, from design to production, is aimed at ensuring full satisfaction. From this synergy comes original and beneficial ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese are just a few examples that perfectly reflect our approach from Lucca to Green Bay. Recently, in fact, the Maflex America team worked closely with a multi-national tissue manufacturer and provided a novel \u201cout-of-the-box\u201d solution to a complex, product-specific need for two of their manufacturing sites\u201d – concludes Mazzotti. The path to innovation is an ongoing journey of incremental progress that, together, create significant and lasting impact. \u201cMeeting your needs at every turn\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
