This unbiased, peer-reviewed curriculum is delivered by a top-rated team of tissue instructors who will show you mastery of the concepts taught including:
- The basics of tissue sheet structure and properties, and how the manufacturing process affects performance and design.
- The effect of fiber raw materials on tissue structure and properties, and how to select and apply them to achieve product goals.
- The functions of chemicals in tissue manufacture and how to apply them to increase machine/product performance.
- How each tissue machine process creates/effects tissue structure and properties.
- The most important variables controlling product quality/variability.
Tissue 202: Converting Operations Course is held immediately following Tissue 101 from May 17 – 19. This is the course to help you learn about the latest technologies and resources available in converting operations. Bring your mill shoes as you will be moving around learning about tissue converting lines and working with a hands-on pilot converting line in workshops.

- Exploring each major roll converting sub process
- Understanding raw material (tissue reel) properties
- Learning how sheet variability impacts each converting sub process
- Recognizing the impact of each converting sub process on the final product
- Building awareness of the safety hazards present in typical converting lines
The following week, May 23 – 24 is Tissue 201: Operations and Runnability Course. A panel of expert instructors will explain the most industry-accepted best practices that will help you:
- Improve overall tissue machine efficiency
- Increase production
- Enhance project softness and bulk
- Optimize performance of consumables such as blades, chemicals, and clothing
Designed to meet the career development of engineers, machine supervisors, operators and suppliers or other technical people who are new to tissue grades, there is so much to be gained from this course. Previous attendees have excelled professional based on the experience and quality of speakers, broad content on manufacturing, depth of practical information and style in which basic concepts were presented very clearly.
