Churning out corrugated base paper: The paper machine 6 (PM6) at the Palm paper factory in Wörth am Rhein, Germany, annually produces some 650,000 tons of the versatile packaging raw material with surface weights of up to 160 g/m2. In order to safely transport these huge paper rolls day and night, the double-girder bridge cranes inside the factory must always function flawlessly. For this reason, Konecranes has closely analyzed the gear oil of the cranes and used the endoscope to look deep inside the gears. Paper remains one of the most important resources for the economy: According to the association of German paper factories, the paper industry sold approximately 23 million tons of paper, cardboard and paperboard in 2017 – up 1.4 percent from 2016. The packaging industry is especially hungry for paper. Sales in this sector increased by 3.4 percent last year alone. This is the area of operation for the paper machine 6 (PM6) at...

Everything was in full swing at the Pletschacher Group in Dasing, Bayern: In August, 44 trailer trucks left the tent builder’s premises daily to make sure that everything was ready for when Oktoberfest 2018 starts. The company builds nearly all of the large party tents and stands for the world’s largest folk festival in Munich. A specially designed heavy-duty forklift, a double-girder bridge crane and electric chain hoists from Konecranes help to make sure that everything that is important reaches the festival grounds on time. The party tents at the Munich Oktoberfest could shelter the inhabitants of an entire city – they have room for at least 119,000 people. Quite an effort is required each year to erect these and many smaller stands on the festival grounds. Pletschacher, one of Germany’s largest tent builders, was in charge of this once again in 2018. Everything must go according to plan when storing and loading components, from...

Lampoldshausen, the headquarters of the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt DLR (German Aerospace Center): is where the technology is being developed for European space travel. The upper station drives for the Ariane launch rockets are tested here, at the P4 test facility. The tests are planned in great detail with the process flows monitored and timed precisely.
