Overview: This course is designed for those who desire an introductory-to-intermediate level, comprehensive, and structured course on tissue properties, and the effect of manufacturing processes on them.
Course Topics:
- Tissue properties & tests and how these relate to sheet structure;
- Performance effects of fiber raw materials, pulp mill and recycling operations;
- Stock prep refining for tissue;
- Chemicals for tissue: wet end chemicals (adhesives, debonders, retention, deposit control) ; yankee coating chemicals
- Tissue machine wet end operations & effects on sheet structure & properties; multilayer headboxes, formation, fiber orientation, dewatering, and fabrics for sheet forming and sheet structure;
- TAD and yankee drying & effects on properties;
- Forming, TAD, and wet press fabrics for obtaining desired sheet structure;
- Creping
- Calendering and converting
This course precedes the Tissue Forum @ PaperCon 2013, and is an excellent educational compliment to these technical sessions.
Who Should Attend?
This course will be particularly helpful to –
- Non-technical professionals
- Technical Process Engineers
- Operators
- Suppliers
- Converters
- Marketers
- Tissue manufacturing
- Tissue raw material supply (fiber, chemicals)
- Tissue converting, distribution and marketing
Should You Attend?
By successfully completing this course, you can expect to:
- Understand how tissue is manufactured
- Understand how tissue properties are created or affected by the manufacturing process
- Increase their ability to improve manufacturing operations; and produce a more competitive product.
- Provide a firm technical foundation for attendees of the TAPPI Tissue360° Forum
Learning Outcomes
- Participants will gain stronger understanding tissue performance properties and how they are achieved; interacting more knowledgeably within the mill, and/or with suppliers.
- Increased ability to improve manufacturing operations, and produce a more competitive product.
This course will also prepare participants for more advanced courses on tissue manufacturing and runnability.
