Forming section process and 

condition test

For tissue machines

Optimum dewatering and sheet formation is 
critical to tissue production. Let Metso
perform regular inspections on your tissue 
machine.

Description

The forming section process and condition test 
informs the mill about problem situations in 
production, the condition of the components 
and the potential for improving runnability. It 
also gives recommendations for timing preven-
tive maintenance actions. Such maintenance, 
when performed regularly, ensures trouble-free 
production and more uniform paper quality.

Some potential problems that can be detected 
by process and condition tests:

Misaligned headbox
Headbox condition
Guide and stretch roll function

Early detection of the above problems and many 
others can yield tremendous savings in time and 
money. 

Metso has the staff and equipment to quickly 
and accurately 

perform process and condition tests 

on your Yankee and provide a detailed analysis
