REDUCE WEB BREAKS AND BROKE

• Web breaks and broke waste all previously invested resources - from materials to personnel costs.
• Web breaks lead to a quality-restricted start-up phase.
• Irregular machine operation has a negative impact on the entire production line.
• Reducing unplanned downtime leads to more production.

• Reduction of web breaks and unplanned interruptions 
  to save resources, achieve a high level of production and continuously produce homogeneous product quality.
• Identify and understand the root cause of web breaks 
  in order to avoid them in the future.
• Targeted optimization of machine sections 
  to avoid unplanned interruptions and boost overall machine efficiency.
• …

Discover how we reduce web breaks and minimize broke on paper machines through targeted measures, based on our successfully implemented projects. Our case studies clearly demonstrate how you can significantly reduce your costs while maintaining or improving paper quality and achieving a return on investment starting in just a few months. 

ACHIEVED RESULTS

• Web breaks through improved root cause analysis reduced by 40%.
• Production increased due to fewer web breaks by 8,200 t/year.
• The same or even improved paper quality.
• Return on investment within a few months.

ACHIEVED RESULTS

• Fully automatic sheet transfer to new reel spool.
• Loose winding of the paper web on the parent roll eliminated.
• Creasing on the reel core reduced to a minimum.
• Annual production significantly increased.
• Lowest investment costs compared to alternatives.
• Safety increased for operating personnel.
• Return on investment of just a few months.
