Large order from Kunert Wellpappe

By News

Modern Swiss dust disposal

Lucerne-based NBS AG receives the major order from Kunert Wellpappe in Biebesheim and implements the complete ventilation and dust disposal system for the new Göpfert corrugated board processing machine.

What do NBS AG, a Swiss company specialising in extraction and disposal technology, and the Kunert Group, a leading international manufacturer of corrugated cardboard cores and packaging, have in common?

Well, both are family-run traditional companies and both are innovative with their products and services. However, the greatest common feature is that both companies each pursue the most constructive solution concept. In November 2019, for example, the Kunert Group opted for the dust disposal project of the company NBS AG, Nickel Betriebsanlagen + Systeme.

A professional plant concept

The Kunert Group has 17 plants with a total of around 2,000 employees, 2 of which specialize in the production of corrugated board. These are produced in one- to three-flute qualities, printed and processed into individual packaging. In order to be able to cover the growing demand of corrugated board products, the Kunert Group decided to invest in a new corrugated board processing machine CL 13/32 from Bahmüller-Göpfert (BGM). The evaluation phase for the new extraction system began back in the summer of 2019. The task: around 50,000 m3/h of contaminated air must be removed from the machine and processed accordingly. In addition, the punching waste must also be conveyed to the existing disposal site. At this point, the plan was to set up an identical extraction system with monoblock fine filtration, as is already in place at the adjacent yard. "After the discussions with Mr. Jörg Nickel, however, we were very quickly interested in the alternatives," says Andreas Goldbach, technical manager of the corrugated board group.

Using state-of-the-art fan and control technology, the dust-laden air from the processing machine will now be conveyed to a specially designed NBS jet-set filter system from April 2020. There, more than 300 filter bags catch the contaminated air, which is then shot off by means of compressed air. The resulting dust is collected in a silo and pressed into hard briquettes in a briquetting press. The cleaned air is finally returned to the production hall. Jörg Nickel, Managing Director of NBS AG, explains his concept: "We always try to create a sustainable and well thought-out concept for our customers. After all, we are the specialists and know the long-term advantages and disadvantages of various extraction systems. With the approach chosen here, the Kunert Group has a professional extraction system with which it has virtually nothing to do. Everything is controlled automatically and the filter bags no longer have to be changed as often as the fine filter cells."

 

Build-up during crisis period within 6 weeks

The Corona crisis took the economy by surprise in all areas. Thus, with the lockdown and border closures, the assembly installation also became a great challenge for NBS. However, the entire assembly could be carried out on schedule by the NBS Germany assembly team, taking into account the hygiene and clearance measures. Jürgen Prell, Managing Director of Kunert Biebesheim, states: "The date for the acceptance of the processing machine had been fixed since the beginning of the year, there was nothing left to shake. Fortunately, the company NBS was so well positioned and was able to commission the extraction system on time as agreed despite the unforeseeable restrictions caused by the pandemic. We are very satisfied and pleased with the excellent partnership with NBS".

Since 2014, the company NBS AG, Nickel Betriebsanlagen + Systeme, has been intensively involved in the training of talented students from Frei's Schulen in Lucerne. As a training company, NBS AG offers the young athletes the opportunity to optimally combine competitive sports and vocational training. In addition to the Frei's Talent School, the apprentices attend their sports training sessions as well as sporting events and complete their internship at the company at the same time. "The coordination between the apprenticeship company, school and sport must function perfectly in order to offer the young talent all the possibilities and opportunities for the future," says Jörg Nickel, Managing Director of NBS AG and member of the board of Verdia AG (the placement agency for the trainees).

NBS intern makes the leap into the professional league

Stefan Knezevic started his apprenticeship at the company NBS AG in February 2014 as 1st trainee. After successfully completing his apprenticeship, he received a professional contract as a footballer with FC Lucerne. Since then, NBS AG has been looking after one trainee from the Lucerne talent school every new semester, and since February 2018, even two trainees have been taken on. In recognition of this commitment, NBS AG has now been awarded the Swiss Olympic "Performance Sport Friendly Teaching Company" label for the 2018/2019 teaching year.

New paper disposal at Allprint AG, St. Gallen

By News

In the course of a far-reaching redesign, the Allprint printing company in St. Gallen has installed a modern paper and dust extraction and disposal system from NBS AG, Nickel Betriebsanlagen + Systeme. The system was designed according to the latest state of the art and is characterized by high economic efficiency.

"With the expansion of our machine park, we are confronted with significantly larger paper extraction volumes. The old extraction system could no longer meet this requirement profile," says Tobias Anderegg, member of the management at Allprint AG.

The individual and tailor-made solution concept was created very closely together with the customer and designed to meet their needs. The installation of the new system was completed in only 2 1/2 weeks, and this with production running normally. Each extraction line to the individual production machines was disconnected from the old extraction system and connected to the new system by means of the shortest possible interruption to production. "The parallel installation of the new system was also a reason for working with NBS AG. We had practically no interruption in production," says Tobias Anderegg.

From now on, Allprint AG can once again concentrate fully on its specialisation of business printing. The fully automatic NBS extraction system takes over the responsible task of paper waste disposal. Tobias Anderegg adds: "NBS advised us very well at all times and installed the system professionally and expeditiously, we are looking forward to further cooperation".

For NBS AG, the decision to distribute the products in Switzerland was an easy one: The quality of the presses and the technically noticeable advantage are unmistakable. In addition, it quickly became clear in the discussions that the Finnish company policy as well as the family philosophy is a reflection of the values of NBS. For the first time, NBS AG will now present the vertical cardboard baler "N-Balex-10" at the Fachpack packaging trade fair in Nuremberg at the end of September.

New NBS coffee capsule extraction system

By News

The Italian coffee company "Luigi Lavazza S.p.A." is expanding its production in the south of France and relies on the competences of NBS AG for the disposal plant.

Luigi Lavazza S.p.A. is an Italian company that is in the business of refining and distributing coffee beans. Through the acquisition of the "Carte Noir" brand, the company now also produces in the south of France, more precisely at the world's third-largest food manufacturer Mondélez International. In 2013, NBS AG installed a central extraction system for the aluminum waste from the coffee capsules for this very food company. Even then, an optimal system design with high flexibility and at the same time almost 100% availability played an important role, which is why the technical solution of NBS AG was chosen.

Now the expansion of Lavazza Holding is imminent, with four production machines having to dispose of the die-cutting waste from flow paper - capsules. After many previous analyses, it was recognized that the different material also meant a different system design than at Mondélez International. The energy-optimized components and the application with briquetting presses spoke in favor of NBS AG. Last but not least, a complicated fabric insertion and the low space requirement are also the speciality of the central Swiss company.

For these reasons, and also due to the successful cooperation in the recent past, Lavazza S.p.A. quickly agreed and awarded the major contract to the family-owned company NBS AG.
