Self-repairing high speed doors

nnnn

Interruption of the production line

nnnn

is the most critical issue for companies

nnnn

in the manufacturing industry

nnnn

The Lomazzo building halfway between Milan

nnnn

and the Swiss border is, in the opinion of

nnnn

Henkel, one one of the oldest and most unique

nnnn

factories in Italy. For several decades the com-

nnnn

pany has used a rather complex and efficient

nnnn

bottling process to produce its detergents.

nnnn

The bottling lines start with a small plastic

nnnn

tube that is heated and shaped along the pro-

nnnn

duction line before it becomes the shape com-

nnnn

monly found on the shelves of all supermarkets.

nnnn

If these semi-finished products are too low

nnnn

in temperature when they arrive at the plant,

nnnn

the heating process, due to thermal shock, makes

nnnn

them to rupture, causing the entire process to

nnnn

stop and necessitating the preprogramming

nnnn

of the machine's settings.

nnnn

Critical aspects:

nnnn

• Keeping the temperature of the semi-

nnnn

finished products constant;

nnnn

• Keeping the temperature of the warehouse

nnnn

constant and controlled;

nnnn

• Using gates that are high-quality in terms

nnnn

of speed, durability and performance.

nnnn

The Crawford solution:

nnnn

• Self-repairing high speed doors;

nnnn

• Teledock 100 kN model loading ramps.

nnnn

• Extremely professional customer support

nnnn

service and scheduled maintenance.

nnnn

The installation of high-quality, fast acting

nnnn

doors now means the temperature of the

nnnn

warehouse can be maintained at the correct

nnnn

level, allowing semi-finished products to enter

nnnn

plants at the right temperature. The speed and

nnnn

durability of the installed models is undoubt-

nnnn

edly what sets Crawford apart from many

nnnn

other companies in the sector. Moreover, the

nnnn

particular shape of the building, which is

nnnn

quite old, is not the ideal space for the move-

nnnn

ment of heavy vehicles and forklifts. The

nnnn

installed self-repairing solutions now reduce

nnnn

service interruptions caused by accidental

nnnn

impact and costs to almost zero, for the

nnnn

installed products.

nnnn

"We have worked for years with Crawford"

nnnn

— says Mr Figini, engineer and plant manager —

nnnn

"Even in the case of this solution they have

nnnn

advised us correctly andprovided us with what

nnnn

we need for our business".
