Weyerhaeuser
Highlights
New papermaking
technology designed to
improve product quality,
machine energy efficiency
and team productivity will
be installed on Plymouth’s
N.C. 1 linerboard machine.
Installation begins
November l and will require
25 days to complete, ac
cording to Fred Willimas,
paperboard superintendent.
The device to be installed
in called ENP, or extended
nip press. It improves and
increases the paper
machine's sheet drying
capability be expanding a
critical surface called the
“nip” by papermakers. It is
an area where water is
squeezed from the sheet of
paper or paparboard.
“Conventional wet
pressing involves a series of
roll presses to squeeze the
water out”, says Williams.
In the extended nip press we
replace one of the rolls with
a curved pressure shoe.
That gives us a wider, more
efficient nip area. The sheet
stays under pressure a
longer time and we get more
water out”, Williams
concluded.
The ENP technology was
developed jointly by
Weyerhaeuser and Beloit, a
major supplier of
machinery and hardware to
the pulp and paper industry.
The extended nip press for
Plymouth is one of three
purchased by the company.
“We never like to take
down time, says Paper
borad Production Manager,
Bill Redd, but when we do,
we want to make sure we get
a payback like the one we’ll
get hare: improved quality,
improved energy efficiency
and improved produc
tivity.”
