MILLTEX Spa

The customer

Milltex, established in 1987, started its business by carrying out maintenance on and retrofitting machinery for the paper industry, increasing the quality and the quantity of production for their customers. Using the experience the founding partners acquired in engineering and constructing special machines, they gradually shifted to production to offer the current range of machinery for paper and cardboard in paper mills and converters. Milltex is located in Ronco Campo Canneto in Parma and is developed on an area of 15500 square meters, of which 4,500 are indoor facilities. The company has 20 employees. Milltex creates assemblies of all its equipment in its facilities. The construction and the final assembly stages are monitored by highly qualified professional technicians whose ability is enhanced by extensive experience in the paper industry.

Application

Milltex is always able to manage specific customer requirements in processing different paper specifications: high electrical conductivity, low weight, high conveying speeds. In this case, they have been issued with an order for fitting 14 cross cutters for the Chinese market. The production environment in which they were treated meant that paper was often wet, with high levels of electrical conductivity.

Our belting solution

We offered the superior technical characteristics of the NN 4P-HC + grey. Thanks to excellent conductivity, flexibility and resistance to ink markings, as well as superb centering especially when conveyed over long distances, these benefits convinced the customer to use our belt for the large order in China of 14 machines. We found an excellent technical alternative to our competitor’s product.

Result

Milltex installed the NN4P-HC+ belts on all 14 cross cutters. Because of their high conductivity they solved lot of problems caused by electrostatic discharge. They were perfect for this application. Given the minimal time for delivery of the machines, Milltex was able to manage assembly and testing inside of each machine.
