TAPPI’s Papermaking Technology and Operations Committee (PTOC) within the Paper and Board Division is organizing an informational webinar focused on the importance of an optimized approach flow screening. Common impurities such as plastic, glass, metal, gravel, sticky particles and more can be found in the paper stock of a mill. If not removed, impurities and contaminants can damage equipment while also reducing the overall stock quality in a mill. A non-optimized approach flow screening can disturb runnability of paper, board and tissue machines and increase fiber losses and energy consumption.

Valmet screening specialist, Evandro Zacharias, will host the Approach Flow Screening – Impact on Capacity, Stock Cleanliness, Fiber and Energy Savings and PM Runnability webinar on Wednesday, March 29 from 12 PM – 1PM (ET). Zacharias will discuss the important design features for machine screens and the interaction of the patented rotor and foil designs and how they ensure the risk-free operation of paper, board and tissue machines, energy savings and high capacity. Customized approach flow screening can assure fiber savings and stock cleanliness to achieve enhanced paper quality.

Webinar attendance is free and open to everyone, but registration is required. Sign up today!
