Successful start-up of another production line for PVC floor coverings

In December 2018, OLBRICH already received an order from a leading manufacturer of floor coverings in Russia.

Due to its many years of experience and driven by innovative product developments, a challenging project was created: A new coating and laminating line for the production of heterogeneous floor coverings with a working width of up to 4,100 mm. For the first time, a new process technology, which OLBRICH developed exclusively together with this customer, is being used for this customer-specific line. The customer's concepts and ideas were jointly and promptly evaluated in several test series. The findings were directly incorporated into the conceptual design of the machine technology. In total, up to 30 million m²/year of heterogeneous floor covering can now be produced on the line at production speeds of up to 30 m/min.

We are very pleased that - despite COVID19 conditions and restrictions - we were able to complete the order for the new complete line on schedule. For the first time, the OLBRICH specialists were not only present on site during the acceptance runs, but were also available in virtual meetings, telephone conferences and live online support. In combination with the support of the experienced team from the customer's premises, only one OLBRICH employee was actually on site during the commissioning (due to travel and hygiene restrictions).

We at OLBRICH are proud of the fact that, thanks to modern communication channels and our service support, we are able to provide our customers with optimum service even in these challenging times.
