2013 TAPPI Tissue Properties and Manufacturing
 

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
Who are involved in tissue and toweling in the following environments:
  • Tissue manufacturing
  • Tissue raw material supply (fiber, chemicals)
  • Tissue converting, distribution and marketing
It is applicable to individuals with 0-5 years of experience in this subject matter.

 

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.

THIS IS AN INTRODUCTORY-INTERMEDIATE COURSE
