Werner Breitsching,
Purchaser Manager WATT EURODIRVE
ttv Managing Director Harald Nitzschke clearly remembers the initial enquiry from Watt Drive in 2002 regarding seals for drive motors. We were already on the path towards becoming a partner for individual, customer-specific solutions at that time.
After the initial consultations, a meeting was held at Watt Drive's head office in Markt Piesting near Vienna in order to establish ways of significantly increasing the service lives and load capacities of the seals being used by the company. Specially tailored, double-lipped HNBR shaft sealing rings were recommended, which passed all of the relevant tests with flying colours.
ttv has been a close technological partner of Watt Drive ever since, and has continually optimised its solutions over the years with the introduction of additional applications.
Due to the huge loads that are involved, the steel industry offers a great deal of potential with regard to using customised solutions to further increase service lives and temperature resistance.
For Harald Nitzschke, this is not only an affirmation but also an incentive to keep on expanding upon ttv's successful approach as a specialist in engineering solutions in a targeted manner. After all, having an immediately available standard is a fantastic thing. ttv customers are increasingly looking for solutions that are the perfect match for their specific technical and climatic requirements.
With its future-oriented strategic decision to follow the approach of customer-specific product developments, and the associated investment into development capacities and laboratory technology, we are fully on the right path in this regard. Another area that should not be overlooked is that of standard products that are available directly from stock at extremely short notice.
Time and time again, we see customers looking for urgent solutions and are able to support them by initially providing off-the-shelf products, before then going on to simultaneously develop optimised customer-specific solutions for their particular applications, explains Harald Nitzschke.
