ZURICH, Switzerland, BUSTO ARSIZIO, Italy
In 1971, the basic idea of today's Nipco™ roller was developed in Zurich. A short time later, the first version of this roller was part of a calender in a paper machine. Thousands of supplied Voith Nipco™ roller systems in different industries state the enormous experience in a wide variety of application areas.
Voith Nipco™ rollers have been installed in Guarneri Technology calender systems for different industrial applications since many years. This combination is working very successfully not only in the field of textiles and technical textiles, it can also be effectively used in the processing of Nonwovens and in thermo-bonding. More than 40 years of experience in Nipco™ rollers and Guarneri Technology's tailor-made calendering experience, combine this enormous expertise into a reliable partnership.
For this reason, Voith Paper Walztechnik AG is further expanding its cooperation with Guarneri Technology worldwide.
In 2018, Voith took over the sales activities for Guarneri Technology in the German-speaking area, in the Textile, Technical Textile and Nonwovens industry.
All calender projects in this region are handled by Voith Paper Walztechnik AG in Zurich. The coordination of technology and the bundling of purchasing synergies for rollers by the Voith Group enable optimized and high-quality production of the components within Europe.
"Many years of successful cooperation with Guarneri Technology” have moved us to this step. With the experience of a well-known Italian calender builder and the combination with our Nipco™ roller systems, we have achieved a partnership whose benefits our customers already over the past year. Several sold calender systems with Nipco™ rollers are the result of this cooperation." explains Harald Gruber, Managing Director of Voith Paper Walztechnik AG.
In addition, the worldwide cooperation between Voith Paper Walztechnik and Guarneri Technology will be further expanded. The ever increasing demand for reliable calendering systems with optimal process control shows that the flexibility of Nipco™ rolls is a prerequisite for high reproducibility in the calendering process in these markets.
The worldwide network of the service locations of the Voith Group also enables local support for the Nipco™ roller systems supplied.
The latest developments of Guarneri Technology calendering systems and an enhanced version of the precise Voith Nipco™ roller with AirHybrid™ Technology for low line load applications in dyeing padder and other applications are presented.
