1-2) Savings in logistics and production waste
In a typical external conversion scenario the share of the logistcs is anywhere betwen 25 to 40% of the total conversion cost. Furthermore, rewindng and horizontal sawing techniques create production waste additional to the trim waste. The production waste in rewinding concerns the beginning and end of each reel, which accounts for 2-3% of the total quantity. In horizontal sawing process reels often need to be unwrapped, and some paper slapped off in order to ensure an even surface.
Colombier Mobile Resizer and Mobile Reel Divider rely on vertical process, hence only end caps need to be removed, and the machine is calibrated for even surface.
Next to savings in raw materials, there is an enormous saving in transport costs when the conversion is done at the customer's premises without the need for moving the reels.
Fewer logistics and less handling lead to less admisnistration, and more time. Additional benefit is the reduced risk of damages and insurance.
Production time of a Mobile machine is 1/2 of that on a rewinder leading to more production and fater solution.
Colombier Mobile Services cover the entire Europe within 48 to 72 hours, leading to an earlier resolution of the situation at hand.
