Service 2009: higher capacity – less downtime
In 2009 our service teams carried out nine large modifi cation
projects which were accepted by the customers in the same year.
For our Ukrainian customer JSC Weidmann Malyn Paper Mill we
increased the productivity of an 11-daylight transformer board
plant built in 1986. Our measures concentrated on the press area
and the loader and unloader unit. Twelve new 3,530 x 6,510 x
100 mm hot platens with drainage channels allow water and
steam to drain away from the product during the press process.
The new hot platens result in shorter press cycles. Furthermore,
we provided completely new loader and unloader units. Both

were equipped with state-of-the-art drive technology which
required the conversion from a hydraulic to an electrical drive
system. We also replaced a number of worn parts in the press
area. Beyond the productivity increase, with the help of detailed
installation planning and good coordination with the customer
and its installation company, the downtime could be reduced to
a minimum!
