IBS Group Optimises Turn-up on Packaging Paper Machine: EUR420,000 Annual Savings

The IBS Paper Performance Group, one of the technology leaders in paper machine optimisation, successfully upgraded the reel change process on a packaging paper machine. The project resulted in a significant increase in net production and annual savings of more than EUR420,000.

Return on investment was achieved in just a few months. As part of the project, outdated equipment was replaced by an RCS 6000 reel change system. This technology provides a fully automatic sheet transfer to a new reel spool and sets a new standard for a reliable and cost-effective turn-up. To achieve maximum reel change performance, IBS Paper Tapes and double-sided IBS adhesive tapes for reel change systems are also used. Folded IBS Paper Tapes are up to more than 50% thinner than conventional paper tapes made of strings. This significantly minimises paper marks on the core of the reel spool, thereby ensuring a higher yield at the winder. Double-sided IBS Adhesive Tapes made of tear-resistant fabric ensure a reliable turn-up and can be removed from the reel spool without leaving any residue.
