Repairing your rolls will result in cost savings and a downtime reduction while increasing the sustainability of the manufacturing process. Once an industrial roll is received at MP&P, and inspected: measurements are taken, the condition of the roll is determined. If the surface of the industrial roll is reparable, the roll surface can be ground to exacting specifications and that includes the often overlooked service of industrial roll balance, when product quality and production output are involved.

Excessive equipment wear, slow production as well as increased downtime can be cause by an industrial roll out of balance. Don’t wait until the industrial roll becomes a major problem. Contact MP&P to discuss how your industrial roll can be made productive. 203-575-5400

Decatur is the core city of the two-county large Decatur metropolitan area. Like many southern cities in the early 19th century, Decatur’s early success was based upon its location along a river. Railroad routes and boating traffic pushed the city to the front of North Alabama’s economic atmosphere. The city rapidly grew into a large economic center.

Decatur now finds its economy heavily based on manufacturing, mining, cargo transit, chemical, and high-tech companies such as, 3M, GE, International Paper and others.  Manufacturers in Decatur can’t afford to take chances when their industrial rolls need resurfacing or other related services.

We can define “quality” in many ways, but the ISO family of standards gives a very concise definition:

“Quality – the degree to which a set of inherent characteristics fulfils requirements.” (ISO 9000:2005 – 3.1.1).

This definition gives a general sense of “quality”, but we can watch at The Chartered Quality Institute (thecqi.org) which gives the following definition:

Quality: “an outcome – a characteristic of a product or service provided to a customer, and the hallmark of an organization which has satisfied all of its stakeholders.”

So, we must consider the customer and the degree to which the product or service meets the needs of all involved. We can say that a service is “poor”, or “good” or “excellent”, but this must be in accordance with something, we must have a reference to give such a description.

“Quality” is very important for every business!

What is a Quality Management System?
Returning to ISO 9000:2005, we can find this definition:

“management system to direct and control an organization with regard to quality”.
In other words, a Quality Management System is “a set of interrelated or interacting processes used to guide and lead an organization so that its products or services meet the established requirements”.

Specifically, the Quality Management System focuses on the processes of the organization, customer and continuous improvement.

There are actually, eight quality management principles and any organization must take these into account:

1. Customer focus
2. Leadership
3. Involvement of people
4. Process approach
5. System approach to management
6. Continual improvement
7. Factual approach to decision making
8. Mutually beneficial supplier relationships

At MP&P these are letters that are ingrained in every step of our industrial roll services.

We adhere to this because we are often under pressure to get an industrial roll back to the customer, especially if it is hindering their productivity. Under that kind of pressure, our teams comply with quality standards first and foremost. We don’t let pressure move us in any shortcut direction.

Every quality step we take not only benefits us, but better serves our industrial roll customers with greater productivity, cost savings and attention to detail. Contact MP&P today to discuss your industrial, roll needs.

For example, temperature control and stability is a key indicator of Heat Transfer Roll health. In today’s world of performance materials and adherence to international standards, uniform temperature control is essential.

Whatever the industrial roll, we service it at MP&P

It directly impacts line speed as well as product quality and consistency. If you’ve identified an issue with your heat transfer rolls, the decision to refurbish or replace is best made by first determining the cause of performance decline.

Basic maintenance of your heat transfer roll, such as running treated water through your roll or acid-flushing with regularity, will help to maintain clean internal flow passages.

When scale build-up, excessive corrosion, and blockages inside the roll are significant, roll refurbish may be a more economical option than de-commissioning or discarding the roll. At Mirror Polishing & Plating, our goal is to provide you a means to salvage usable components when possible. Removing the outer shell and reconditioning the internal components can be solutions.

Engineers at MP&P are available to talk through your industrial roll challenges and help you evaluate whether repair or refurbish could save you time and money.
