Anyone working with web machinery can benefit from this unique course.
This includes product/process designers, process engineers, QA, sales/service, maintenance and lead operators.
The physics of web handling are applicable to any of the web industries including paper, film, metals, non-wovens and textiles.
The course will provide information on various topics vital to manufacturers and converters of web products and also to machine builders, component suppliers and material suppliers.
Learn how to get your web through your machine at the highest throughput and with minimal trouble.
Find out how wrinkles are formed and how they can be prevented.
Find out how and why tension must be controlled throughout the machine.
Find out how and why machines need to be aligned.
Find out why rollers must be true.
Find out how to avoid web breaks and damage.
Learn about options for slitting, edge guiding, calendering, winding and many other converting processes.
The concepts discussed through the course will include: Runnability; Preventing web breaks; Web Handling; Physical laws governing web behaviour; Tension; Setpoints, draw, dancer and load cell control; Guiding by passive, unwind, rewind, steering and displacement; Materials; Effects on handling and converting; Environment; Moisture and temperature effects on webs and rolls; Rollers; The foundation of web processes; Spreading for widening, slit separation and preventing wrinkles; Wrinkling; Diagnosing and preventing wrinkles;Nips; Calendering, laminating, winding; Slitting by razor laser, log saw, score, shear, waterjet; Winding, and how to wind a good roll.
The Instructor is Dr David Roisum, founder and president of Finishing Technologies, who is a renowned authority in the area of web handling and converting.
He has authored three books and over 100 papers and articles, including his monthly Web Works column in "Converting" magazine.
At Beloit Corporation he was a machine designer and then research manager for winders.
At the Web Handling Research Centre he served as an advisor and helped set up their pilot lab.
At Kimberly-Clark he served as an internal converting consultant to all business units.
Finally, as an independent consultant he has helped troubleshoot a variety of problems in the paper, film, foil, non-woven and textile industries.
He has been honoured several times with the TAPPI Finest Faculty award, based on positive feedback from TAPPI short course attendees.
