Mingazzini at the Miac of Lucca: the company presents the latest solutions of a high-tech made in Italy and more than 95 years of experience at the paper industry’s reference fair
An October as a protagonist, that of Mingazzini, for almost a century in the steam boiler manufacturing sector and an international reference point with lines of latest-generation generators designed to meet the most demanding challenges of tomorrow and that guarantee customers maximum safety, high quality and impeccable service in the world of paper, laundry and food.
The Parma-based company was busy at Miac, the International Exhibition of Technology and Equipment for Paper and Paperboard Production and Paper Tissue Converting, in Lucca, Italy, Oct. 9-11.
Mingazzini looks with determination to the future, with highly technological products that are increasingly performing in terms of energy savings and respect for the environment. Concrete proof of this is the combination of newly developed “Low NOx” burners with the generators’ large combustion chambers, achieving NOx and CO values that meet the most stringent local and international emission standards.
While remaining a family business, Mingazzini boasts more than 10,000 installed generators, exclusively for industrial use, for what is in fact one of the most important fleets internationally.
Each system is conceived, designed, engineered and built to measure, where flexibility and customization are among the key factors that allow it to respond to a market in which it has been able to distinguish itself by combining design and construction, based on craftsmanship that does not exclude, but rather reinforces technological surplus value.
In fact, among the special features of Mingazzini is the ability to provide everything necessary for the implementation and modern and efficient management of thermal power plants of any size. Thanks to the possibility of connection, it is feasible to implement complete supervision of the boiler or thermal power plant for remote control and remote diagnostics without continuous supervision for 24/72 h.
Not only that, because by centralizing all the systems, it is possible to have always available all the operating data of the steam generator such as for example: pressure, working level, active and historicized alarms list, consumption of methane gas, steam, water, allowing an overall efficiency of performance in terms of energy. In addition, with the latest applied solutions, steam generators can also be controlled remotely, as they are interconnected in a network. This means adjusting each plant according to the production flows and daily performance needs required, even from a common device, such as a computer, cell phone, tablet, cutting down waste and dissipation, consumption and emissions, limiting it to the actual daily needs, on each plant, optimizing the working and standby set points automatically, minimizing heat losses.
Industry 4.0 and Transition 4.0
An extremely modern and competitive result, to which a further added value is added, the possibility of tracking specific consumption, i.e., the kilos of steam produced per cubic meter of methane gas, creating a history that can be overwritten over time, so as to verify performance and analyze any deviations, thus being able to implement predictive maintenance, thus avoiding unexpected downtime, another enormous benefit.
These are all items of primary importance that take on even more value today, in a manufacturing world harassed by rising energy prices and increasingly stringent regulations in terms of emissions.
Mingazzini’s made-in-Mingazzini products, fully compliant with Industry 4.0 and Transition 4.0 requirements, represent not only machinery, but solutions capable of seizing the opportunities offered by the ongoing fourth industrial revolution, both in the field of generators and in that of atmospheric and pressurized degassers, achieving great international confirmation in various scenarios, including paper, food&beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical and industrial laundries, as well as in textiles and other areas of application.
