Goldenrod Corporation and our affiliate, Svecom (Italy) are well known in tissue mills across North America. Our pneumatic reel spools are the industry standard.
If you’ve commissioned a new tissue machine in the last 20 years, chances are, you have our reel spools. In addition, tissue converting facilities have seen the light and have replaced their non-expanding core plugs with our Model 714 MZL Expanding core plugs.
Why? Simple. The Goldenrod/Svecom Model 714 MZL Expanding core plugs do not damage cores!
The mechanical expansion/air retraction allows the grip pads to softly grab the core ID with zero slippage. This design takes operator error out of the equation as there is no way to underinflate. The Model 714 MZLs have almost an inch of expansion/contraction range to offer easy insertion and retraction.
The Model 714 MZL Expanding Core plug is virtually maintenance free. Traditional non-expanding core plugs can chew up cores and are hard to insert and retract. They are also susceptible to rivets that pop and welds that crack.
If you’re serious about reducing core costs, let us help.
Here’s your justification for choosing Goldenrod made easy:
One tissue machine produces two jumbo rolls per hour. That equates to 17,520 total jumbo rolls annually for a machine that runs 24/7.
The average life of a cardboard core is between one to six turns as it cycles through the mill and converting departments.
If we consider an average core life of three cycles and 17,520 jumbo rolls per year, that equals 5,840 cores a year for that one tissue machine and that size core.
The average cost of one core (12” ID core) is approximately $36 each depending on width.
Consider this core cost analysis:
Using current non-expanding core plugs:
- Estimated annual core cost if core lasts three cycles is $36/core x 5,840 cores = $210,240.
- Estimated annual core cost if core lasts six cycles: $36/core x 2,920 cores = $105,120.
Using Goldenrod’s Model 714 MZL expanding core plugs:
Estimated annual core cost if core lasts 12 cycles: $36/core x 4,380 cores = $52,560.
Many tissue operations using our Model 714 MZL report much higher core reuse cycles and an incredibly fast ROI on their investment.
