Machine Speed & Runnability
Push speed with stable formation and fewer breaks, without compromising paper quality.
Customer Challenge / Issue
For today’s paperboard machine, efficiency is essential. Mills aim to increase machine speed to gain productivity while maintaining runability and quality. They must run at design capacity while maintaining control.
Axchem Solution
To address this challenge, Axchem has developed specialized products and application skills. The first step involves reconsidering the existing program by implementing best practices and optimizing polymer selection in terms of molecular weight, ionic charge, and chemical structure. Next, we consider strategies to enhance machine speed, employing solutions such as AXSTRENGTH® or AXFLOC® products. Axchem offers various technologies for both thick and thin stock applications, complementing the retention system. Moreover, improving drainage and water cleanliness can significantly boost speed and productivity.
Benefits
AXCHEM technologies optimize the performance of paper machines by improving sheet formation, drainage, and mechanical properties. It ensures controlled high-speed drainage and improves particle retention, thus reducing operating costs and environmental impact.
