Challenges

Maintaining a pulp and paper plant involves managing specialized equipment prone to corrosion and wear due to harsh chemicals and high temperatures.

Challenges include optimizing complex paper machine operations, ensuring energy efficiency, meeting stringent environmental regulations, and prioritizing safety in a hazardous environment.

Minimizing downtime, addressing aging infrastructure, and maintaining a skilled workforce are critical. Effective supply chain management and proactive maintenance strategies are essential for sustaining efficient and compliant production processes.

Case Study: Paper Machine

Program started October with continuous monitoring of temperature/vibration on wet end rolls.

Wireless sensors sample data every 5 minutes alerting on issues in real-time.

In mid-November the vibration started increasing indicating damage on the drive side bearing.

Analysis performed and diagnosed as an outer race bearing fault, replacement was advised.

Monthly vibration routes did not detect this sudden failure, replacement scheduled during the Thanksgiving shutdown on a planned basis.

The bearing was found to have severe damage on the outer race verifying the vibration data.

Downtime on the machine is $5,000/hr with an estimated replacement time of 6 hours.
