The safer a machine is to operate, the fewer accidents there will be. The more usable it is, the more it will produce. Safety and usability play an increasingly important role in Valmet’s innovative paper and board manufacturing line engineering today.

How about saving millions? - Zhuhai S.E.Z. Hongta Reheng Paper

Paper and board makers have been focusing their attention on increasing their output in tonnes. A paper machine is not considered to be functioning well if its output in tonnes drops, even if this is due to improved bulk and reduced use of fibers. Environmental considerations and cost competition are forcing to rethink the processes. Boxes are not made of tonnes but board sheets.

OT cybersecurity: Move beyond monitoring to true protection

When cyber threats hit your production environment, monitoring alone isn’t enough. You need protection that stops attacks before they impact operations. Learn why intrusion prevention systems are a critical layer of OT cybersecurity, and how to best implement them.

Tips for Selling Your Used Tissue Converting Equipment

Tissue converting equipment is a considerable investment. When it comes time for an upgrade or replacement, selling the used machinery is generally a sensible way to monetize remaining value and free up budget space for new capital spend.

Planned and unplanned downtime and its impact on tissue converters

Downtime can be a detriment for tissue converters, but it’s also necessary to keep production lines running at peak efficiency. The difference between hindrance and help is whether the downtime is unplanned or planned.
