Cooperation Morssinkhof Plastics and KLINGER

The Morssinkhof factory dates back to the 1960s, and like many other factories of that era, it was built for a special function. This has worked very well, but in the meantime the pressure has been quietly increased to be able to produce more. Basic components such as steam systems have gradually been jacked up to meet the new capacities, but often this has not taken into account the connecting lines from utilities: how do steam and condensate relate to these new modifications? In short, as a production site, the plant is deployed to its utmost capacity, but the steam plant has not grown with it. All too often this leads to a chain reaction of problems: breakdowns, leaks, broken pipes and other unnecessary delays in the production process.

At Morssinkhof, they started upgrading their plant about seven years ago. KLINGER was already a supplier, but in this development, KLINGER supported in optimizing the process systems. Slowly but surely, KLINGER came more and more into the picture. It started with steam trap inspections and consulting. What sets us apart is that our Sales Engineer Marc Westerhuis visits the plant every Wednesday morning and thus continuously monitors the entire process together with the customer and advises optimization actions in consultation. He has been doing this since 2008. All the mechanics at Morssinkhof know this and collect issues so they can be discussed. They can show the problem to Marc, which of course is much more pleasant than having to discuss something over the phone. Also, Marc knows the customer's system from a to z and the KLINGER team can better assess which solutions will work best.
