MTS solutions and results are as follows:

Increase paper machine production speed

• A well-known paper machine production line has a nmachine design speed of 1580MPM, and the general application can only reach 1320MPM. Through MTS diagnosis and research, the power transmission design problem is confirmed. After 2 hours of maintenance downtime and the application of the MTS solution, the paper machine speed was immediately increased by 17%, and it was able to run more smoothly and reduce paper breaks.

Reduce downtime

• The paper break frequency of a newly installed paper machine is 92 times per day. Through MTS precision diagnostic inspection and implementation of improvement/modification solutions, paper breaks were reduced to only 1-2 times per day, which greatly improved production volume and quality.

Extend the interval between each failure

• A high-speed paper machine press section, after the introduction of MTS paper industry solutions, the lagging life is extended by an average of 3 times. Save tens of thousands of dollars in the cost of encapsulation, and monitor the encapsulation and netting through MTS diagnostic technology to greatly reduce production costs.

Cost down

• A paper mill has 4 paper machines designed and manufactured in Europe, which have extremely high operating and maintenance costs. After the introduction of TPM, maintenance costs still cannot be reduced. After many unsuccessful attempts, they implemented the MTS zero-fault system, and their average annual maintenance and spare parts costs were reduced by 67%.

Improvement plan

• In a paper mill, there are thousands of motors on 11 paper production lines, and there are tens to hundreds of motor failures every month. After applying the MTS zero failure system, they have not stopped production due to any motor failure for 27 consecutive months.

Zero failure

• Until today, more than 100 paper machines in Asia have implemented the MTS zero failure system. The efficiency of these paper machines has increased significantly, and the non-planned downtime is close to zero, achieving the goal of zero downtime; parts inventory has been reduced by more than 55%, and unplanned downtime has been reduced by up to 97%.
