Expert knowledge of the entire calendering process

A calender audit offers a well-documented foundation for optimizing your system and process in order to cope with changed requirements. Thus, e.g., increase in production speed with consistent product quality or measures for improved or changed product quality.

The range of services in a calender audit includes carrying out a technological analysis of the production process and the process environment on site. The operator’s problem list is taken into consideration.

The data and knowledge obtained here are systematically analyzed and summarized in a catalog of measures with priorities.

The calender audit occasionally includes:
• Examination of base paper and calendered paper (M&D Paper profile
  (Tapio PMA))
• Determination of temperature profiles
• Temperature measurements with heat image camera (M&D High speed
  thermography)
• Nip impressions dynamically (M&D Press capacity and nip load
  distribution)
• Monitoring the functions of the deflection compensation rolls
• Satinage result analysis
• Mapping analysis (checking the CD control calender)
• Vibration condition analysis


Customer benefits
• Catalog of measures with indication of priorities (short-, medium-,
  long-term) for
- Speed increases
- Quality improvements or quality changes
• Implementable improvements are carried out directly
• Benchmarking with other production facilities of the Voith installed base
• Concluding discussion with specific recommendations
