Latest tail threading technology

Paper machine production speed is getting faster, 1, 900 m/min for LWC, 1, 600 m/min for fine paper and 1, 500 m/min for board, and production per year is reached to several hundred thousand tons. In high speed machine, to reduce the loss caused by web break and grade change, and to urge the automation instead of experts, are very important things to improve the production efficient. Metso Paper developed improved tail threading device with advanced vacuum conveyor technology. PressForce for press section, SingleForce and DoubleForce 1 for dryer section and FoilForce 1 for calendar section.These new tail threading devices shorten tail threading time compared to conventional systems, enhance both human and mechanical safety by eliminating rope accidents, increase production line efficiency and reduce unexpected production downtime.
