Why should you get your equipment aligned?


You cannot always tell if your equipment is misaligned.  Seemingly small issues can have a major impact on the quality of your board, or worse, can cause an unplanned plant shutdown.

Some of the damaging symptoms of misalignment include:
 
  • Failed or poor splicing
  • Paper tracking issues resulting in uneven tension in face and back papers
  • Paper breaks
  • Lack of edge control / difficulty keeping papers on center
  • Level issues with board line rollers having an impact on the core
  • Premature wear to forming belt and other equipment

Proper alignment, which helps to improve up-time, product quality, and raw material waste, can result in a dramatic savings of both time and money.
