technical support remotely or on
site to minimise downtime and
support customers in identifying
and solving problems, so that the
installed base is always up-to-date
and efficient.
“In 2022 alone, over 500 onfield activities were performed.
A significant part of them were
carried out within the framework
of Technical Improvement
Programs (TIP). Thanks to this
service, technological adjustments
are made to new- and oldgeneration systems to guarantee
high standards of safety and
efficiency.”
The strategic and
sustainable role of TIPs
Greater sustainability, safety,
efficiency, performance and
productivity are the priorities for
the customers to whom Körber
Business Area Tissue caters with
more than 300 standard TIPs,
already implemented today, to
which those designed according
to the specific needs of tissue
companies should also be added.
There are six TIP macrocategories aimed at minimising
the environmental impact of
production and finished products
and at guaranteeing operator
safety in compliance with the
most recent regulations.
Activities may range from
work on small machine parts
to a complete overhaul of the
entire line, giving it new life and
sometimes a new registration and
CE marking based on customer
needs. This business model,
that keeps the investment of
Körber customers tenable in
the long term, is also based on
design criteria that presuppose
the possibility of retrofitting
machines with the most recent
process and product technologies
developed for the new series,
even over a large part of the
installed base, to keep it always
up-to-date.
Efficiency and safety: New
electrical cabinet TIP
With the replacement of the
entire electrical cabinet for
wrappers and bundlers, Körber’s
offerings are designed to
guarantee a stabilisation and an
enhancement of the machine
performance, in some cases even
by 20 per cent.
The installation of the latest
generation 4.0-ready components
ensures the management of the
motor logic, of the axis control, and
of the on-board machine systems,
simplifying the command interface
and eliminating any obsolescence.
For example, electronic limiters
instead of physical systems acquire

some critical forces for a significant
reduction in the wear-and-tear of
mechanical parts and of the cycle
speed.
