The primary function of a wire- and press section in a paper machine is to remove water from the paper sheet.
Efficient Paper Machine Dewatering
The most efficient and economical method of water removal in the press section is nip dewatering.
Reducing Paper Machine Downtime
Reducing downtime increases productivity, lowers costs, and decreases accidents.
Ball valves – Ideal control valve solution for delayed coking
Using ball valves for flow control allows a delayed-coker unit to continuously run at full capacity, making them the ideal control valve for these high solid applications.
A History of Forming Systems for Packaging Grades of Paper
For years, papermakers have looked for the best combination of drainage and formation in the early section of fourdrinier paper machines.

Causes of Yankee Chatter (Part 1 of 2)
Chatter on a Yankee is a result of multiple process and mechanical issues in the manufacturing of tissue that cause the doctor blade to skip or flex, and eventually bounce on the dryer surface digging into the metal and leaving chatter marks.
The Never-Ending Battle of Stickies
Recycled fibers are critical for sustainable paper and board production, but they are often contaminated with stickies and waxes from adhesives.
A single approach for a multifaceted result when processing recycled fiber
Mills incorporating waste paper in their process has since long struggled with many different issues. The more obvious are the actual contaminants accompanying the waste paper.
KCM’s Orizaba Mill Boosts Efficiency with New Enerquin Yankee Hood and Process Air Systems
Kimberly Clark Mexico operates many tissue mills in Mexico; one of them is located in Orizaba. As phase I of a major machine rebuild, KCM decided to replace one of their Yankee steam cylinders and simultaneously install a new state-of-the-art Yankee hood, process air systems and full heat recovery systems.
A PM Audit May Be the Key to Improved Performance
More vacuum alone may not be the answer
Hybrid structured tissue efficiency begins at the Yankee transfer
Hybrid structured tissue is a term that has risen to describe the latest iterations of structured tissue machines which forego the through air dried sections of the dominant structured platform approach.
Understanding Paper Machine Ceramics Chapter 2: Failures and Causes
The previous chapter highlighted the history and safety of paper machine ceramics. This chapter covers common ceramic failures and causes.
Understanding Paper Machine Ceramics Chapter 1: History and Safety
The use of ceramics on dewatering elements in the forming and press section of a modern-day paper machine was introduced over 60 years ago.
3 Benefits of benchmarking your paper machine performance
Benchmarking is a continuous improvement tool for comparing the effectiveness of product lines within your company or the effectiveness of your product lines against competitors near and far.
The Liqui-Mover® Float Operated Pump’s Reputation for Durability Starts with Spring Design
Spring failures can occur in some manufacturer’s float level control pressure powered pumps due to harsh environments and repeated cycling. The three main causes of spring failure are chloride stress cracking, contaminants, and work hardening.
Kadant Recovers Valuable Fiber from Complicated Alternative Sources
A supply shortage of good and white conventional recycled papers can be felt in Europe and in many other places around the world. For different reasons concerning market evolution, this situation is expected to stay the same or even worsen in times to come. This has pushed the market to seek out alternative fibers.
Building Ventilation Solutions for Today’s Paper Mills
Building ventilation systems that are poorly designed or lack the required capacity will often result in corrosion of the building structure and equipment, potentially unsafe working conditions and a negative impact on production. Let’s review building ventilation solutions for today’s paper mills.
