Non-contact IR Thermometers Excel in Paper Manufacturing Application

摘要

Process Sensors, the IR division of KPM Analytics, has recently stepped up and emerged as a problem solver for Advanced Technology Services, operating as the maintenance staff for United States Gypsum in North Kansas City, Missouri. Sheet break prevention is a serious concern of pulp and paper manufacturers because breaks contribute significantly to increased production downtime and higher than normal operating expenses. Sheet breaks occur at several stages of paper processing but always cause troublesome delays. Some of the reasons for sheet breaks accumulate gradually overtime while other causes may occur suddenly and without warning. Paper manufacturers strive to get out in front of the problems and avoid downtime and cost overruns.
