Our Case

Customer Profile Industry: BOPP Film Manufacturing Region: South America Production Line Width: 7.4 meters Product: BOPP Packaging Film   The Challenge A leading BOPP film manufacturer in South America was facing recurring challenges with the cooling section of its 7.4-meter production line. The existing chill rolls required frequent replacement due to surface wear, resulting in long procurement cycles, increased maintenance costs, and unplanned production interruptions. The customer needed a reliable supplier capable of delivering high-quality chill rolls with shorter lead times while maintaining excellent cooling performance and long service life.   Our Solution Our engineering team supplied a custom chrome-plated chill roll designed specifically for the customer’s BOPP production line.   Roll Specifications Roll Type: Chrome-Plated Chill Roll Roll Diameter: Ø450 mm Application: High-speed BOPP Film Production Surface Finish: Precision Mirror Chrome Plating Features: Excellent wear resistance, superior corrosion protection, uniform cooling performance, and high dimensional accuracy. In addition to premium manufacturing quality, our optimized production process enabled significantly shorter delivery times compared with the customer’s previous supplier, allowing the replacement roll to be installed quickly and minimizing production delays.   Results Following installation, the customer reported measurable improvements in both production efficiency and operating costs. Over 60% Reduction in Roller Procurement Costs The longer service life of our chrome-plated chill rolls significantly reduced replacement frequency, lowering total roller procurement costs by more than 60%. Faster Delivery, Less Downtime Our shorter manufacturing lead time enabled the customer to receive replacement rolls much faster, reducing maintenance-related downtime and improving production planning. Extended Roll Service Life The precision chrome-plated surface delivered excellent wear resistance and maintained stable cooling performance throughout extended production cycles, minimizing maintenance requirements. Higher BOPP Film Productivity With reliable cooling performance, fewer maintenance interruptions, and improved equipment availability, the customer achieved higher production efficiency and increased BOPP film output.   Key Benefits More than 60% reduction in roller procurement costs Fast delivery for reduced production delays Long service life with outstanding wear resistance Reduced maintenance frequency Less unplanned downtime Stable cooling performance for high-speed BOPP production Increased overall production efficiency Lower total cost of ownership (TCO)   Customer Value For high-speed BOPP film production, the performance and reliability of chill rolls directly affect product quality, production efficiency, and operating costs. By partnering with us, the South American customer upgraded to a durable chrome-plated chill roll solution that combines fast delivery, long service life, and consistent cooling performance. Today, our Ø450 mm chrome-plated chill rolls continue to operate reliably on the customer’s 7.4-meter BOPP production line, helping maximize productivity while significantly reducing lifecycle costs.

Customer Profile Industry: BOPP Film Manufacturing Location: North America Production Line Width: 8.7 meters Application: 450m/min  BOPP Film Production   The Challenge A leading north America BOPP film manufacturer operating an 8.7-meter production line had long relied on conventional chrome-plated chill rolls. Although these rolls initially provided acceptable cooling performance, they presented several long-term challenges: Chrome plating gradually wore out under continuous operation. Surface corrosion affected film quality and roll performance. Frequent refurbishment and replacement increased maintenance costs. Unexpected downtime reduced production efficiency. The total cost of ownership continued to rise. The customer was looking for a more durable solution that could withstand continuous production while reducing lifecycle costs.   Our Solution After evaluating the customer’s operating conditions, our engineering team recommended replacing the traditional chrome-plated chill rolls with our corrosion-resistant chill rolls. The customized solution included: Advanced corrosion-resistant roll surface technology High-precision dynamic balancing for high-speed operation Uniform internal cooling channel design Superior temperature uniformity across the full 8.7-meter width Long-service-life construction designed for continuous industrial production The new rolls were installed without requiring major modifications to the existing production line.   Results Following implementation, the customer achieved significant operational improvements. More Than 50% Reduction in Roller Procurement Costs The extended service life of our corrosion-resistant chill rolls dramatically reduced the frequency of replacement and refurbishment. Over the equipment lifecycle, roller procurement costs were reduced by more than 50%. Longer Service Life Compared with conventional chrome-plated rolls, the corrosion-resistant surface maintained excellent cooling performance and surface quality for a much longer period, even under demanding operating conditions. Reduced Maintenance and Downtime The improved durability minimized maintenance intervals and shortened production interruptions, allowing the customer to maintain higher equipment availability. Increased BOPP Film Output With fewer shutdowns and stable cooling performance, the production line operated more consistently, improving overall production efficiency and increasing BOPP film output.   Key Benefits Over 50% lower roller procurement costs Significantly longer roller service life Reduced maintenance frequency Less production downtime Stable cooling performance Improved BOPP film productivity Lower total cost of ownership (TCO)   Customer Value For large-width BOPP production lines, roller reliability directly impacts production efficiency and operating costs. By upgrading from traditional chrome-plated chill rolls to our corrosion-resistant solution, the customer not only reduced procurement expenses but also achieved higher line availability, longer maintenance intervals, and improved production capacity.
