Tension Seminar Leads to Big Savings for Georgia Pacific
See how this Georgia Pacific Maintenance Supervisor applied the principles he learned during a MAGPOWR Torque and Tension Control Seminar to reduce waste on a core machine.The critical aspect of this application is the tension at which the paperboard is wrapped around the mandrel. When wrapped too tight, it binds up the mandrel drive mechanism, too loose and the core falls apart. As a result of out-of-round rolls, the machines employ a dancer system to control brake torque on the unwind rolls.
