Recent Project: Stock Prep Expansion
Goal: Expand stock preparation system, including new pulpers, transfer pumps and piping systems. Project was designed to allow for prework and a phased installation, resulting in a shorter construction schedule.
Recent Project: Tissue Machine Rebuild
Goal: Rebuild a tissue machine and ancillary equipment installation. In addition to new equipment, the scope included extensive market research for used equipment and the relocation of existing equipment from other facilities. Demolition and relocation of equipment, ducting, and piping allowed for prework and phased installation, leading to earlier setting of equipment and a shorter construction schedule.
Recent Project: Winder Safety Upgrades
Goal: Improve safety and efficiency of 1980s vintage winder, including interlocked barrier fencing. Project included removal of line shaft drive and installation of new sectionalized drives, new GuardLogix Safety PLC, safety fencing, fortress locks, and hydraulic and pneumatic system upgrades. The project also converted roll handling logic to ControlLogix platform from PLC5.
Recent Project: Dry End Roll Handling Automation
Goal: Reduce time between turnovers. Scope included replacement of existing roll handling equipment with new automated core loading system, shaft extractor, roll conveyors, and up-ender. Eliminating manual core loading onto spools resulted in reduced operator touches.
