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
