Voith Paper Manchester opens dedicated fibre systems service centre

Sep 13, 2005. /Lesprom Network/. Following a restructuring of the service facilities offered to its UK customers, Voith Paper Manchester has recently invested in a state-of-the-art service centre dedicated to fibre systems and equipment, currently the only centre of its kind in the UK. Covering both in-house and on-site service, the new operation will assist customers with all aspects of maintenance, repair and upgrades to stock preparation plant whether supplied by Voith or alternative sources. The implementation of new technologies and sub-system upgrades give improved machine performance for a relatively small investment. As paper and board mills look to further improve efficiency, engineering personnel are often reduced and it is here where Voith Paper fibre systems service can really make a difference. Voith engineers operate quickly and efficiently from well equipped service vehicles utilising specialist OEM knowledge and experience. Competant and reliable staff deliver repairs, rebuilds, dismantling, spares, erection, commissioning and process optimisation from a single source. The use of OEM drawings and spare parts combined with Voith Paper fibre systems technical know-how enable the continued operation of systems and sub-systems both efficiently and economically. The facilities offered also extend to on-site service contracts, where regular preventative maintenance helps keep system downtime to an absolute minimum and machine efficiency at optimum levels. Voith Paper fibre systems service centre is staffed by qualified design engineers with the capability to produce detailed CAD layouts for repairs, upgrades or modifications. The centre is managed by Robert O'Shaughnessy who also runs the Voith Paper rolls service centre. Voith Paper is the process supplier for the worldwide paper industry.
