But controlling these process areas will enable optimization to gain energy & chemical savings, uniform quality, and better machine runnability. Valmet’s portfolio of analyzers, measurements, and controls helps you reach a stable process.

Doctoring safety - know the hazards and upgrade safety equipment

Doctors are designed to be safe. Hazards that cannot be completely removed are identified and their impact is eliminated or reduced by the use of safety devices and following instructions.

Introduction to the tail threading process, efficiency and audits

If you can't thread the machine, production stops. Depending on the automation level of your machine, threading can be a safety issue. Achieving and maintaining tail threading efficiency is thus exceedingly important for safety and bottom line performance on machines making any grade of paper, board, pulp or tissue.

Forming section beam changeout case study and mechanical audit

Reel primary arm nip relief methods reduce bottom waste at turnup

Excessive bottom waste occurs during turn-ups where there is insufficient primary arm nip relief at the reel. To avoid this, primary arm nip force control should start before turn-up and continue smoothly as the building parent reel travels down along the reel drum to the secondary arms at the kickout rails.

Keys to optimize drying efficiency; start with the felt tension

Increased felt tension can optimize drying efficiency and improve paper quality. However, a thorough evaluation of machinery and close monitoring of felt tension, along with a complete maintenance program, are the keys to a headache-free dryer section.
