Capacity study

Enhance the financial performance of your existing 
tissue making process

Metso will use its extensive and unique
machinery and process knowledge to 
identify and quantify bottleneck areas to 
recommend modifications of the tissue 
making process to improve machine 
efficiency and increase machine speed. The 
capacity study will be the best base to
identify improvements to minimize the 
capital investment required for achieving 
the defined targets.

Increased production

Every production line has bottleneck areas that 
limit the total performance. Each one of the 
limitations adds up to give a larger total negative 
effect both on the efficiency and speed of the 
paper making process.
 
Metso offers a mechanical and process exami-
nation of defined sections or of the complete 
paper making process in order to assess current 
production capacity and to identify and quantify 
bottleneck areas which limit the paper making
capacity.

Based on these findings, Metso will use its 
extensive and unique machinery and process 
knowledge to propose and suggest priorities for 
recommended modifications of the tissue mak-
ing process to reach defined targets.
The examination of the machinery and process 
evaluates possibilities to increase production to 
levels even beyond the original design capacity.

Excellent economic return

The results from the study will be presented in 
a written report together with a graphic pres-
entation for easy understanding and for internal 
presentations.

The report will define existing capacity, identify 
bottleneck areas and propose de-bottlenecking 
solutions. The report will also include evaluation 
of the expected economic effects of the pro-
posed solutions.

The capacity study will be the best base to 
identify solutions to minimize capital investment 
required to reach higher production and better 
economic return.
