CHAPTER 4: Four Years, Zero Maintenance Problems—What Made the Difference?

"The fact that I'm not aware of recent maintenance problems speaks volumes about the system's reliability." That's not marketing speak—that's Marco Fantoni's assessment after four years of continuous industrial operation processing 450,000 tonnes annually. But what created this exceptional reliability? This chapter explores why FANTONI chose STEINERT as their sole sorting technology provider and what made this partnership different. From extensive trials at STEINERT's Cologne Test Centre to critical on-site support during startup, see how true engineering collaboration goes beyond simply supplying machines. "Having your teams here for the necessary period was of utmost importance," Fantoni reflects. "The relationship was very good. I must stress the importance of the tests we did at the Test Centre." The result? A €150 million investment that proved its concept and continues delivering market-leading performance years later. This is what engineering partnership actually looks like. 🎬 Watch the full video: https://youtu.be/YrJVPad3Rac 📖 Read the case study: https://steinertglobal.com/company/news/news-detail/the-sorting-tech-that-unlocked-70-recycled-mdf/
