12.4.2011 Finishing service of ceramic center roll cover


Wintech has now new services to offer for our customers. We finished a big (dia 1600 x  10 000 mm) ceramic covered center roll on the shop floor of customer's workshop.  The work took totally 2 days. Through our service the customer avoided disassembly and assembly of the roll (weight almost 100 000 kg) and sending it to grinding.

For further information, please do not hestitate to contact us.

14.4.2010 Another Wintech success story: Parenco thermo rolls on-site finishing

Wintech has made two times on-site finishing for Nordske Skog Parenco in Netherlands. Both times two tungsteen covered calender thermo rolls were finished to roughness Ra 0,04 (mirror) in 24 hours shutdown. Only 2 µm of the cover was removed. The work was done with Wintech's equipment and professional personnel.

13.1.2010 New product from Wintech: WinHeavyBK barring removal equipment!

 Now we have a new unique product published; the WinHeavyBK (Barring Killer)! Last week we made a successful test in Middle-Europe with a customer's roll to instead only improving the surface quality but to also change the form of the roll. We also made last week the official patent application for the equipment, so now we are able to launch the product officially.

WinHeavyBK looks quite similar to traditional WinHeavy superfinishing head, and it will be installed into the carbon fiber beam in the same way. Now it is possible to prolong the lifetime of a polymer roll with barring problem. Maximum allowed deformation of the roll's roundness is normally 0,03 ... 0,05 mm, and then it has to be taken off the machine and ground in the roll grinder. Now we may bring the roundness with finshing in the papermachine to the level ca. 0,01 mm or less. The time needed for this will be only slightly longer than normal finishing.

For further information, please contact your local sales agent or Wintech.

27.8.2009 Successful startup of WinSchleif band grinding equipment

Wintech had a best possible startup of a WinSchleif band grinding equipment for a roll grinder in a Finnish papermill.

After 1,5 days installation work of equipment, the first roll to be ground was a SymSizer roll with very demanding CoteFalcon 55 P&J polyurethane cover. Instead of former ca. 100 hours grinding time the roll was ground in 11 hours, so reduction in grinding time was almost 90%. Expected time savings with rubber covers are 60 %


29.7.2009 Kari Koirikivi joined the Wintech team

Mr. Koirikivi has started to work as a Product manager in the area of roll grinding products. His main responsibilities are sales work especially in Scandinavia and Far East (China and South-Korea) and development of new roll grinding products. He is also co-owner of the company.

It was also decided, that Mr. Sampo Viitanen is responsible for the sales also in Thailand and Indonesia.
