OASIS is pleased to announce that PaperAge recently published “Precision Machine Alignment Critical to Fabric Performance, Sheet Formation & Water Removal” as one of their featured articles in the printed and digital edition of the May/June 2021 issue of PaperAge Magazine.
Authored by Myron Smith, OASIS Director of Training & Development, this article is intended to help paper mill personnel learn the importance of precision machine alignment as it relates to fabric performance, sheet formation, and the water removal process.
Proper alignment of the components in the forming, pressing, and drying section can have a significant effect on fabric operation. Misalignment in these sections can cause issues such as trade seem skew, fabric weaving, fabric slipping on driven components, uneven nips, and more. Here are just some of the topics covered in the article:
♦ How alignment effects fabric function, the forming zone, and the press section
♦ Alignment tips and techniques for the forming zone, press section and dryers
♦ Overview of alignment tooling and technologies
♦ The benefits of precision machine alignment
