were after.” What began as a trial quickly became a
standard. Today, GIC fits these rod ends into all new machines and retrofits existing systems in the field. “When GIC first approached us, it was clear that the application pushed conventional
components to their limits,” says Adam Hoxey, Technical Sales Engineer at Rollon. “Our goal wasn’t simply to supply a stronger rod end, but to analyse the load conditions, motion cycles and hygiene requirements in detail to identify the most durable and maintenance-free solution. The Durbal Classic Line allows us to
deliver fully customisable solutions to each customer’s unique machine design, ensuring every installation performs reliably under even the toughest operating conditions.”
RELIABILITY ENGINEERED FOR THE FUTURE For GIC, machine building is a question of engineering insight, each packaging line must be adapted to the type of product, film, speed and sealing strategy. The rod end may be a small component, but its function within the sealing system is vital. As packaging materials become thinner and
more sustainable, the challenges multiply and as consumers and retailers push for these changes, machine builders need to respond. GIC’s packaging machines operate under
extreme mechanical conditions, where success depends on the performance of every component. The introduction of Rollon Durbal Classic rod ends has eliminated a key reliability issue, improving machine uptime and extending lifecycle performance. For manufacturers and machine builders
facing similar demands, Rollon’s engineering teams are available worldwide to support application analysis and component selection.
