Test Before You Invest in Designs, Configurations and Machinery
Our one-of-a-kind core winding simulator enables Sonoco customers to test different core configurations and designs prior to making any changes in plants or starting a new paper machine.
Located in the Sonoco Core Research and Engineering Zone (called the SCORE zone), this proprietary-specific equipment enables our customers to:
- Improve functionality and fitness for use without using production machinery for research and development.
- Mitigate winding process challenges before adjusting machinery or beginning core winding.
- Fabricate sample cores without interrupting production schedules.
- Test different configurations or designs with the help of a leading provider of cores to the paper industry.
With the ability to test different core configurations and designs prior to making changes in your own plant, you can confidently make informed decisions, mitigate downtime and ensure success.
Reliably operate your own equipment, knowing our in-house experts are ready to help you increase production.
