Kadant's European sales and support network has completed its latest training course on Johnson-Fluiten rotary joints

The latest training course on Johnson-Fluiten rotary joints for Kadant’s European sales and support network has just come to an end.

The purpose of the event was to update the technical and sales staff on the different product lines so they can give the best support and advice to customers all over the world. The focus was on understanding the design, the most important technical features, the target markets and applications.

Many Kadant branches were involved, and participants came from many different countries; including Spain, Germany, Czech Republic, England, Turkey, France, and Sweden. All of them traveled to the Milan (Italy) headquarters for a full immersion that covered different topics such as news, benefits, innovations, and markets for Johnson-Fluiten rotary joints.

Marco Golla, sales director, and Valentino Teresi, area manager, were the main speakers. They explained the most important characteristics that rotary joints must have in specific industrial applications; the content focused mainly on the systems and machinery for the sectors:?

- Machine Tools

- Plastic and Rubber

- Metal Production

- Food Processing

- Converting

- Chemicals

- Pharmaceuticals

- Textile Industry

Extensive time was dedicated to the 'heart' of the rotary joint, the mechanical seal, which is the competitive advantage of Johnson-Fluiten products. This component was the main topic both in the class and during the factory tour, which allowed all participants to discover how all Johnson-Fluiten rotary joint components are manufactured in-house.

It was possible to visit all the departments involved in the process:

- Internal Engineering

- Prototyping

- Measurements and Quality Control

- Application and Life Testing

- Production

- Assembly

- Logistics

The very informative and detailed tour ended with a visit to the test area, the last department before shipment. This is a key department that also represents a considerable benefit for every customer since EVERY ORDER for Johnson-Fluiten rotary joints REQUIRES THAT A TEST IS CONDUCTED ON EACH ROTARY UNION TO CHECK ITS PERFECT CONFORMITY before it is packed and shipped.

Particular emphasis was placed on presenting the advantages of Johnson-Fluiten rotary joints over their competitors; by analysing real case studies, specific applications, and customer success stories, it was possible to demonstrate how every problem can be solved with the right product.

Especially appreciated by the audience were the in-depth case histories that helped to demonstrate how the high level of expertise of the technicians and the ability to meet application needs with workable solutions can have a positive impact on the customer’s entire production activity.

Providing the right product and the right assembly information can be crucial in enabling the machine to perform at its best by increasing efficiency, productivity, and above all economic income for the end customer.
