To be frank ~ Daily Data Powers Production
You can increase your machine output through better performing press felts. Simply because there is still a lot of potential in this part of the machine.
Imagine: ‘What if your paper left 1% dryer out of the press section…?’
Just by doing things a little bit differently?
You could very well be producing 4% more!
Hopefully, I will be able to inspire you to start a process of continuous improvement of your press felts, in conjunction with your suppliers. In order for that process to be successful, start collecting felt-related data on a daily basis. It becomes very easy, to assess if a felt was good or better. You create a valuable data set for your felt & fabric suppliers. Run trials and be able to assess the performance of both standard and trial felts.
On average, getting 1 percentage point dryer out of the press section results in 4% more output. So why be satisfied with 54% dry content after the nip, when it could be 55% or 56%? This would result in 4% and 8% more output respectively.
How many more tons would you produce if your machine has 4% or 8% more output?
Take a moment to think about it…
Would you like to know how you can improve output by 4% without a major investment?
