Paper industry white paper
Euro Hubner’s force measurement systems, sensors, and web tension controllers offer reliable feedback on position and speed, ensuring that all drives and motors can work with precise control throughout the papermaking process.
What is web tension?
Web tension refers to the amount of force applied to the paper webs during the production process. If the tension is too low, the paper may become wrinkled or slack, affecting its quality and causing jams in the machine. Conversely, if the tension is too high, it can cause stretching or tearing of the paper web, leading to waste, machine damage, and downtime.
To ensure proper web tension, force measurement systems and sensors are used to monitor and measure the tension levels. These systems can detect variations in tension caused by changes in the speed, thickness, or moisture content of the paper. They provide real-time feedback to the web tension controller, which adjusts the tension levels accordingly.
Web tension controllers
Web tension controllers are essential for maintaining consistent web tension levels throughout the production process. They work by automatically adjusting the tension levels based on the feedback received from the force measurement systems and sensors. The controllers use advanced algorithms and control techniques to ensure precise and reliable tension control.
Force measurement systems and sensors
Force measurement systems and sensors used in the paper and pulp industry must be durable and reliable. They should be able to withstand the harsh conditions of the production environment, such as dust, moisture, and high temperatures. They should also be easy to install, calibrate, and maintain, with minimal downtime.
Web tension control systems have become increasingly important in the paper and pulp industry due to the growing demand for high-quality paper products and the need for more efficient production processes. Proper tension control can improve the paper’s print quality, reduce waste, and enhance the overall productivity of the manufacturing process.
