A  COMMON  PROBLEM  FOR  TISSUE  MAKERS  –  CHATTER

CHATTER  –  A  PROBLEM  AT  THE  CREPING  DOCTOR  RELATED  TO  DYNAMIC  INSTABILITY
Dynamic  instability  caused  by  Fric;on:
The  variaMon  of  the  fricMon  coefficient  with  the  relaMve  speed  can   create  dynamic  instability.  Tribology  is  a  great  part  of  this  instability,   as  we  are  facing  a  sMck-­‐slip  problem.
Dynamic  instability  created  by  Regenera;ve  Effect:
VibraMon  gets  affected  by  the  groove  created  by  the  creping  blade   in   the   coaMng   layer   during   the   previous   Yankee   turn.   This   groove   influences  the  creping  efforts.
High  frequency  vibra;ons:
Lihle   crashes   created   in   the   creping   blade   by   the   creping   process   can  originate  marks  in  the  Yankee.

INSTABILITY  –  CAUSED  BY  MULTIPLE  RISK  FACTORS
Both  staMc  and  dynamic  phenomena  bear  extremely  complex   mathemaMcal  modelizaMon  as  they  are  depending  in  many  process   parameters.
Chaher  is  a  complex,  mulM-­‐disciplinary  and  cumulaMve  phenomenon.

Tissue  makers  take  mulMple   decisions  on  chaher-­‐criMcal   parameters    everyday
Those  decisions  affect   process-­‐safety,  machine-­‐   efficiency,  producMvity  &   costs
Results  of  those  decisions   are  usually  only  measured   aker  days/weeks
We  need  to  measure  the   results  of  decisions

SUMMARY:
Tissue  World  2015  –  Booth  No.  F250
A  harmful  consequence  of  pushing   the  limits  in  search  of  producMvity  is
Yankee  chaher
LanMer’s   iCrepe®  is  the  only  tool  that   detects  chaher  early  enough  that   major  damages  can  be  avoided
LanMer’s  high  dampening  crepe   holders  and  special  polishing  blades   reduce  the  effect  of  chaher  and   improve  crepe-­‐producMvity
Tissue  makers,  Yankee  reliability   experts  and  Mssue  consultants  can   now  have  the  best  set  of  tools  to   steer  process-­‐decisions  and  opMmize   crepe  performance
You  can  get  any  expert  to  help  you  with   this  tool,  because  it  is  accessible   worldwide  over  the  internet
