Vibration study

Take advantage of the benefits the vibration study offer

The mechanical dynamic behaviour of the 
Tissue machine is a limiting factor for the 
machine capacity. Vibrations in machine 
equipment will cause severe problems in 
the paper making process and will limit 
the machine efficiency and is also a safety 
hazard.  

Metso vibration studies covers the 
mechanical condition and the dynamic 
behaviour of the entire machine line from 
stock preparation to reel, or of specific 
machine sections in troubleshooting.

Objective

Metso vibration study main objectives are: 

Capacity study; mapping the dynamic behaviour  

 

of the machine at current towards targeted  

 

speeds yielding most cost effective approach  

 

foreseeing problems
Rebuild analysis; evaluate how rebuilds will  

 

affect dynamic behaviour of the machine and its  

 

consequences at current or increased speeds
Troubleshooting; locate and eliminate vibration  

 

sources having detrimental effect on the  

 

machinery or process

Each objective is based on extensive paper ma-
chine building expertise, utilizing top of the line 
hardware and software for analysis. 

Metso’s vibration studies combine mathematical 
analyzes and diagnostic measurements in a dis-
tinct aim to make your machine run smoother, 
faster and more cost efficient.
