benefits gradually decreased over time. Solution: “Abitibi was looking for a new sustainable method to improve the paper machine production,” said Jorg Ruppenstein, process control engineer at Abitibi. “We were looking for a quantifiable datadriven approach. This would enable us to compare our performance before and after the project, so that we could measure a true economic benefit.” To solve the problem, Abitibi partnered with Edmonton, Alberta-based Matrikon Inc. in a Sheet-Break Reduction Initiative. Abitibi provided all the necessary plant data and operations experience. Matrikon provided the tools and expertise for the advanced data mining and analysis. The core technology for this effort was the Matrikon Process Monitoring software. The project was broken into four distinct phases: Phase 1 Interview and knowledge discovery; Phase 2 Data collection; Phase 3 Data mining and analysis; Phase 4 Defining improvement projects. The data analysis used eight months’ worth of data stored in the mill’s process data historian. The data included information from PM 7’s automation systems (DCSs, QCSs and PLCs), drives and other sources. The analysis enabled the team to classify the root causes into three major process areas, namely stock prep and stock proportioning, the steam system and the draw system. • Over all, the customer lowered headbox consistency, modified refining practices and increased machine speed to improve physical strength properties and formation. • Enhanced drainage resulted in increased couch solids. This helped to stabilize draw control and improve press performance. There was a 16% increase in the solids with a single VibreFoil and 38% with a dual unit. • The headbox consistency was lowered by 30% which improved

Case Study
Breakthrough technology for Creping Blades
Pacific International Perma-Life creping blades offer up to 10 time the life of a traditional steel blade – with less Yankee wear, meaning fewer Yankee regrinds. Other results show that when using virgin pulp in tissue paper stock use of a spray coat-
Abitibi, Matrikon solve sheet-break problem
Sheet-breaks are a significant contributor to lost paper machine efficiency, productivity and greater operating costs. Consequently, sheet break reduction is a major area of focus for most paper operations. Like many mills in the industry, PM 7 at Abitibi-Consolidated Inc.’s Fort Frances, Ontario, mill suffered from deteriorating production. PM7 is a 210-in., 1920’s vintage Valmet Bel-Baie III, rebuilt in 1984 and The team found that: 30% of the breaks were related to changes in the broke system; 15% of the breaks were virgin groundwood and not virgin kraft. Results: Since the goal of the project was to deliver sustainable improvements, the team calculated all measurements over a nine-month period after the project. The results were impressive. The average wet-end sheet breaks per day were reduced by over 40% (from 2.30 to 1.36 breaks per day). The average production rate increased by 12% (from 303 to 338 tons/day). Average downtime was reduced by 37% (from 75 to 47 minutes per day). OEE increased by 8.3% (from 69.4% to 77.7%). Benefits: “The Matrikon Process Monitoring software helped our Fort Frances paper mill realize over $1million in savings during the first nine months alone,” said Ruppenstein. “We have a sustainable, quantifiable data-driven approach to improve paper machine production. It was truly a team effort between operations, engineering, maintenance and Matrikon.”

ing significantly improves the Pacific PermaLife blades performance. When using recylced paper, the hemicellulose contained in the stock may not require the use of the spray coating, whereas the PermaLife blades will still perform to specification. Due to the fact the Perma-Life blade cleans the Yankee better than a steel blade, the use of cleaning blades may not be necessary. Due to the extreme smoothness of the Perma-Life creping blades, Pacific says they will maintain paper quality even when gaining bulk. www.pacificintnl.com FastInfo #164

Vibre-Tech VibreFoil helps drainage, formation
Vibre-Tech LLC, Little Chute, WI, says its VibreFoil™ enhances stock drainage and sheet formation by imparting a hydraulic pulse into the stock from under the forming fabric. It is mounted after the forming board and provides a tunable means of activity generation for all product grades and basis weights. The Vibre-Foil promotes underwire agitation. This activity delays sheet sealing and creates opportunities for enhanced drainage and formation improvement. Slow draining tables can be made more efficient, says the company. Constructed of 316L SST, the custom-built VibreFoils are modular with operator-friendly controls. They require a 110- or 220-V, single-phase power source and an 80-psi air source. The company says the VibreFoil can be mounted on a fourdrinier during a fourhour machine outage. Case study: A study of the VibreFoil used on a 26-lb/1000 sf corrugating-medium machine showed the following results. fiber mobilization and wet end efficiency. • Steam consumption fell by 42% on average over six months. • Speed increased by 8%. • Basis weights fell by 0.8%. The improved sheet properties and uniformity along with enhanced drainage and drying resulted in increased productivity and profitability. PI Vibre-Tech LLC, www.vibretech.com FastInfo #217

New roll and roll covering technology at Perma-Flex premier Center of Excellence
Perma-Flex, Inc. presents carbon fiber roll technology
Originally developed by the aerospace and aviation industries, carbon fiber technology quickly replaced steel as the material of choice in the construction of aircraft, shuttle payloads, and related items. These industries thereby maintained the structural strength found in steel, but reduced operating costs by having a lighter weight product. Perma-Flex now leads the pulp and paper industry in manufacturing or rebuilding rolls and cores based on this technology. Available in lengths up to 13 meters, carbon fiber rolls and cores improve performance while reducing manufacturing costs. Because they present excellent strength to weight ratios, they function ideally in larger applications. Among a host of features, they increase durability, reduce corrosion and operate well in excessive heat and moisture. For more on Perma-Flex composites and new specialty rubber compounds, refer to the profile on page 5. Perma-Flex, Inc., www.perma-flex.com FastInfo #201
With over 50 years of production expertise, Perma-Flex operates from locations in the USA and Canada. In their premier Center of Excellence for Precision Rotating Equipment in Salisbury, NC, they focus on new roll and roll covering technologies. Chemists, engineers and metallurgists at the facility devote themselves to solving the problems inherent in design and composition. In this Center, papermaking science, technology and experience merge to help move papermaking into the 21st century. Recent discoveries have supplied new methods of building and rebuilding rolls. The new carbon fiber technology developed by Perma-Flex benefits the user through operational cost savings. Because carbon fiber is lightweight, it provides less deflection, reduces roll vibration, yields higher critical speeds, presents good dimensional stability and decreases bearing wear, according to Perma-Flex. When compared to steel, it helps prevent damage to fabrics because it is corrosion resistant. New specialty rubber compounds developed by Perma-Flex are unique in that they attack the not so unique problems created by increased temperatures, unremitting moisture, static electricity and wear. These problems include down time and lost production. The cleaner manufacturing processes used in making and applying these compounds also reduce surface imperfections on roll covers. This helps protect fabrics and equipment. What does the future hold? Under the new ownership of Douglas Angel and Michael Berwick, Perma-Flex will continue the mission of manufacturing and repairing rolls. Their particular skills and background of Berwick and Angel, however, will dramatically strengthen the Company’s move toward advanced compositions. They believe technical innovation and systematic manufacturing processes will advance the mission of Perma-Flex. Additionally, they will place a greater emphasis on sales and marketing. Their belief is the products from PermaFlex can and will out-perform the competition and they will actively promote that principle in the marketplace. PI www.pfroll.com FastInfo #154
Using testing software, lab technicians chart the strength of new compounds under specific pressures.
Each day lab technicians redefine and expand the limits of rubber compounds.
No matter how advanced the search for new technology, the basics of roll rework, such as grinding, remain the same. The amount of attention to detail will yield superb craftsmanship and better product performance.
