Designed to help you learn ‘why’ things happen on a paper machine, this three-day course focuses on improving your understanding of the overall paper machine operation and improving paper machine operations and product quality.
This course is one of the best ways to get a good overview of the paper mill operation.
This course will provide participants with an improved understanding of the overall paper machine operation. Fundamental understanding of fiber properties and the way the mechanical components function on the paper machine will give the participant the tools needed to more quickly troubleshoot operational problems and improve paper machine operations and product quality.
What you will learn?
This course will provide fundamental training on the design and operation of the paper machine and support systems, and is designed for operators and other individuals who are involved with the day-to-day operation of the paper machine. Learn more about ‘why’ things happen on a paper machine, as opposed to ‘how’.
Gain a deeper understanding of fiber properties and the way the mechanical components function on the paper machine so you will be able to troubleshoot operational problems more quickly while improving paper machine operations and product quality.
After successfully completing this course, participants should be able to:
- Describe how the mechanical components and operations of the paper machine affect the structure of paper and thus the quality.
- Identify design and operating features of the paper machine that affect machine performance.
- Identify ways to improve paper machine efficiency and product quality based on a new understanding of the overall operation.
- Each participant will receive a binder with copies of the PowerPoint presentations from the course.
Who should attend?
This course will be particularly helpful to –
- paper machine operators
- technicians
- process engineers
- product development engineers from paper manufacturers
- service technicians & engineers from clothing, chemical and other suppliers
It is applicable to individuals with minimal experience around a paper machine, as well as operators who have considerable hands-on operational experience.
This course in NOT intended for employees of tissue companies. Those interested in learning about tissue may be more interested in the TAPPI Tissue Runnability Course.
