The 2011 Tissue Runnability Course, April 11 - 13 at TAPPI headquarters in Norcross, Ga., USA. is designed to help attendees gain a thorough understanding of the tissue making process at many levels and acquire effective methods to advance their own mill operations. Generally, the course focuses on improving product quality, diminishing waste and poor output, reducing frustration and thumb-twiddling downtime, and thrusting production into high gear. More specifically, it will help participants: ·
- Understand the impact of recycled furnishes on paper characteristics ·
- Incorporate principles of wet-end chemistry into the machine operation ·
- Improve the cleaning and conditioning of felts and wires ·
- Recognize causes of tissue runnability problems in press/yankee/hood drying systems ·
- Identify improvement opportunities on the dry-end of the paper machine
- Pinpoint problems with yankee dryer steam, coating, and hood systems to increase machine productivity.
Lead by industry-recognized instructors, the Tissue Runnability Course is expressly designed for engineers, machine supervisors, technical resources, lead operators, and technical personnel in tissue and towel mills. TAPPI will award CEU credits to participants who attend at least 80% of the educational sessions and complete a final program evaluation.
More information about this course and online registration is available on the TAPPI web site.
