more efficient.
Industrispik Linan AB, Sweden
Industrispik Linan are a leading producer of nails for pallets and wood packaging based in Sweden. Their nails are made exclusively from ore-based steel wire in order to make sure that the quality is as high and uniform as possible. This consistent quality is enhanced by our precision machinery.
Our partnership began when they were looking to replace old machinery and found that two ENKOlines could produce the same volume as four conventional lines, with a more reliable output.
Reliable and Efficient Production
Industrispik Linan AB is run by only two employees producing 1500 tons of nails annually. The plant consists of six production lines, including two new ENKOTEC in-line nail manufacturing lines, both consisting of an ENKOnail machine and an ENKOroll thread roller. These two new ENKOTEC lines have replaced four old conventional nail manufacturing lines.
According to Kenneth Svensson the choice of ENKOTEC as a supplier for the company’s investment in new nail manufacturing machines was a result of comparing the alternative options.
Minimal Downtime and High Utilisation Capacity
“Among the decisive factors was the possibility of establishing a low noise, space-saving and oil-free production. The lack of oil in the process and the efficient dust exhaust devices mean that there is no need for tumbling the nails afterwards. An additional advantage is that our power consumption has fallen significantly on our total volume. What also matters much to us is ENKOTEC’s aftersales concept with quick service and support, easy access to spare parts, and user-friendly technical manuals”, says Kenneth Svensson.
He continues, "Our company is more than satisfied with our high-efficient ENKOTEC in-line production lines, operating with a utilisation percentage of 90% of the capacity. As we are very particular about service and settings, we have very little downtime in our production with these machines. Feedback from our customers has been very positive, and we have not received one single complaint about the nail quality.”
Kenneth Svensson concludes: “I am convinced that wood packaging material will continue to be a strong alternative to plastic and other types of packaging in the future. The need for nails will still be there for a long time to come. Therefore, I believe the future looks bright for our business. In order to stay competitive, we must be able to produce efficiently with short delivery times and a high-quality nail output in large volumes, when required. And with our modern ENKOTEC production equipment, we have every possibility to do so. Our plan is to replace the remaining old nail production lines with more ENKOlines for the production of convex head nails”.
