Each year more paper is being converted from rolls to cut size and folio size sheets. To accommodate this increasing demand, paper companies are upgrading their current sheeter/packaging lines and installing new ones. The new sheeter lines are more sophisticated than their predecessors and are designed to operate at higher speeds. Proper installation of these sheeter lines is essential to a good start-up and continued long term operation.

This presentation addresses all of the design considerations required to provide a successful installation. Everything from how to select an engineer; what to look for in designing basic equipment configuration; to how to avoid problems with the trim system are discussed in detail.
