High Performance With W&H Lifecycle Services
December 21, 2022Over the past 5 years, W&H customer Marudhar Industries has become one of the leading manufacturers of multilayer coextruded blown films and flexible packaging materials in the Indian market.
In 2018, Marudhar Industries decided to collaborate with Windmöller & Hölscher and invested in a customized VAREX´´ 5-layer blown film line.
As the VAREX´´ forms the centerpiece of production, it is particularly important to Marudhar Industries to avoid unplanned downtime and to constantly optimize production performance. In close coordination with the W&H team on site, they therefore decided to agree on a Lifecycle Service.
In order to prevent
any machine breakdown and constantly work on the performance of the machine,
Marudhar Industries decided on an individual Service Plan with four visits per
year. The periodic visits of the W&H service technicians quickly showed
positive effects: Impending problems and production downtimes are detected at
an early stage and directly avoided by necessary countermeasures. Unscheduled
downtimes could thus be minimized and production output steadily improved.
“W&H Lifecycle Services are of great value to us. The preventive
maintenance work helps to identify problems at an early stage and avoid
unplanned downtime”, reports Mr. Khatri, Production Head of Flexible
Packaging at Marudhar Industries.
At the same time, the joint troubleshooting and practical coaching directly on
the job increase the self-confidence of the operating and maintenance personnel
on site and ensure professional use of the VAREX´´.
The W&H Service
Plan helped our machine operators to become more confident through joint
troubleshooting and practical exercises directly on the machine.”
