Special note: Documents appearing in the TAPPI online version of the Standards and TIPs are updated once a month (usually around the 30th). So it is possible that there is a delay between the publication announcement and the posting online. If you are a subscriber to the online access to Standards and TIPs and you are in a hurry for new documents that have not yet been posted, you can send a request for TIPs to tip@tappi.org or for Standards to standards@tappi.org.

Ask The Expert Event:
Process Chemicals for Papermaking on TAPPI Connect

Attend this live online event on TAPPI Connect, Friday, August 5, 2022 - 10:00am to 12:00pm EDT, led by experts Martin A. Hubbe, Ph.D. and Scott Rosencrance, Ph.D. and get your questions about process chemicals for papermaking answered.  

Hubbe and Rosencrance edited "Process Chemicals for Papermaking", an authoritative, up-to-date, practical and readable text that describes some of the most important technological strategies in the use of process chemicals to achieve efficient operation of paper mills, starting with freshwater treatment and ending with wastewater treatment.

To attend, all you need to is login to TAPPI Connect’s Open Forum anytime between 10:00am and 12:00pm and simply watch the live Q&A session.  During this timeframe, you can post your questions on the feed. Hubbe and Rosencrance will respond as quickly as possible. If they do not have an opportunity to respond to your question during the event, your question will be addressed within the next week. This live session will also be archived here and accessible after the event.

Already have questions?
If you already have questions, send them ahead of time! Email them to Kristin Dixon before Friday, July 8 and the expert will have answers already prepared.

Can't Think of a Question to Ask?
Curious about this topic, but don't have a specific question? You can log in and monitor the conversation without participating. It will also be archived, so you can revisit it as much as needed in the future. Visit the Ask the Expert events archive.

Please note: this is a online discussion thread only. Not a video or webinar. After the event, the entire discussion will be available on TAPPI Connect to read in its entirety.

Get the Book, too!
Process Chemicals for Papermaking

STAR of the Month

TIP 0404-44: Sheet Handling Devices

The purpose of this Technical Information Paper is to describe equipment that is used to enhance web runnability in the dryer section of papermaking machinery.

Safety precautions: There are no specific safety precautions for the use or application of this TIP, however normal and mill specific safety precautions should be taken when working around sheet handling devices on operating papermaking machines.

Utility: As paper machine speeds increase, efficient paper web runnability through the dryer section is normally more difficult to achieve. This is particularly true where machine speeds are increased above original design speeds.

The most common runnability problems are loose sheet edges, threading tail drop-off in the press-to-dryer and dryer-to-dryer transfer areas, blowing of the web around the bottom cylinders in single-fabric two-tier dryer sections, edge fluttering, and sheet stealing in open draws. The first step in solving windage-induced runnability problems is to document where the problem starts and the airflows around the problem areas.

Many times dryer runnability can be improved by:

  • Changing dryer fabric design to reduce air movement
  • Proper balancing of hood and pocket ventilation systems
  • Setting up proper geometry in fabric runs between dryers
