Our solution

At Daniele, we proposed to carry out a standardization and improvement of the lamination roller assemblies, so that the production process would always remain within the established parameters and, at the same time, the useful life of the parts would be extended.

He worked with the client to define a new coding system to begin recording the dimensions of the elements in this new stage of repairs. The best method was also sought to achieve the roughness required by the client on the rolling roll, define tolerances and adjustments, and survey/sketch when necessary.

Roller trunnion being machined for later casing.

Initially, the client did not have a large amount of supplies and parts for the proper maintenance and tuning of the rolling mill (such as bearings, grease, seals, rollers, and pockets). Therefore, resources had to be optimized based on the existence of these elements, with the aggravating factor that the assemblies that were on the production line had an imprecise and unstable duration, which put the existing inventory in check.

Precise machining, detailed inspection during disassembly, methodical assembly and conscientious recording were proposed to control and detect anomalies in old elements, thus avoiding future problems in the rolling mill. Details of assembly and disassembly, and specific maintenance tips were also shared, obtaining a round trip of information beneficial to everyone.

Leonardo Piccardo, Head of Maintenance at Trivium Packaging in Argentina, shared his experience with us:

“Working with Daniele's team was very rewarding. They perfectly understood the problem and the urgency with which we needed a solution, and they helped us optimize our lamination process in record time. We are very happy with the results”.
