Why Predictive Maintenance is necessary for Paper Industries?

  • Vibration in calendar machines is difficult to analyze with traditional vibration measurements.
  • Calendar rolls running for too long causes calendar barring which increases vibrations throughout the stack affecting caliper variation causing a quality loss
  • The bearings of the suction roll used in extractors if unmonitored, can lead to downtime which can cost as much as $10,000 per hour and stretch into days.
  • The extraction of moisture from the wood (raw material) is generally done within 24 hours, else the wood pulp converts in to waste. This accounts for a direct loss.
