TAPPI announces open registration for the TAPPI Best Practices on the Corrugator Course taking place Saturday and Sunday, August 7 and 8, prior to SuperCorrExpo® 2021 in Orlando, Florida. This two-day training is expressly designed to strengthen attendees’ understanding of each element in the complex corrugating process, which can lead to higher productivity and profitability, better quality and reduced waste and downtime.
TAPPI’s Best Practices on the Corrugator Course is offered for anyone working on corrugators as well as corrugator operators, box plant supervisors, production managers, engineers, technical service managers, consultants and sales support.
The panel of instructors collaborated to design a course curriculum that focuses on:
- The basics of how each component in the corrugator system works
- How to run each component with optimum settings for peak performance
- The critical properties of raw materials vital for quality board
- How to adopt the “Centerline Process” to achieve product consistency
- Causes of excess waste and how to measure and eliminate this waste
Instructors encourage attendees to bring product samples with them, their individual challenges and questions. In many cases, attendees will learn additional information from listening to answers provided from others in the room.
