Web breaks reduced by 85%: PMS SuperTrim enables increased production and cost savings

PMS Papiermaschinen-Systemtechnik GmbH, a member of the IBS Paper Performance Group, was able to significantly increase machine efficiency at a manufacturer of white packaging paper. The installation of a PMS SuperTrim edge trimming system reduced web breaks related to edge trimming by an impressive 85%. This resulted in an annual increase in production of 430 metric tons and cost savings of 92,000 euros. The return on investment (ROI) for this optimization project was achieved after just a few months. The vast majority of high-performance paper machines worldwide are equipped with SuperTrim edge trimming systems.

The PMS SuperTrim is a high-precision edge trimming system that ensures a precise and clean cut of the paper web. Thanks to optimized jet technology, the fibers at the edge are cut extremely cleanly, which significantly improves edge quality. A clean edge is essential, particularly in the production of packaging papers, to minimize breaks in the subsequent press and drying sections. With PMS’s system solution, the edge-trimming process is fully under control, drastically reducing machine downtime and sustainably saving resources.

With the SuperTrim Full-Motion, PMS is also marking the beginning of a new era in edge trimming on paper machines. The latest generation relies on intelligent automation, maximum precision, and the highest level of safety. The SuperTrim Full-Motion impresses with its fully digital control system: angle, position, and jet alignment can be adjusted automatically with exact reproducibility. Operation is extremely user-friendly and can be performed via a touchscreen, a DCS connection, or a remote control (wireless or wired). Thanks to its excellent value for money and low operating and maintenance costs, the system offers users maximum reliability in edge trimming.
