Paper breaks and various defects are an efficiency robbing reality on all types of paper machines, coaters and downstream converting operations. Eliminating breaks and paper defects, at their source, has become very important with the increasing speed and operating complexities of today’s papermaking operations. Papertech’s TotalVision™ now offers papermakers a single high speed digital camera based platform allowing all types of defects (holes, slime, oil, etc.) at various points on the paper machine, ahead and after the coater, to be rapidly analyzed to their root cause. This eliminates operator guesswork and rapidly allows breaks and defects to be eliminated and coater runnability to be improved.
