Maintaining equipment is the best way to maximize efficiency of tissue, paper and board machines. Air and energy system analysis by ANDRITZ Novimpianti, confirms that regular scheduled maintenance reduces downtime by as much as 75%, when applied to paper and tissue machines and processes.
Service packages have evolved to the extent that now, most breakdowns are completely avoidable with the correct and timely maintenance. We offer scheduled packages for maintaining complete machines and processes, to ensure maximum efficiency with minimum downtime.
As well as improving uptime, scheduled maintenance can also play a major part in improving Overall Equipment Efficiency and maximizing energy efficiency. This is particularly relevant in times of increasing energy prices and supply volatility.
The instrumentation portfolio ANDRITZ Novimpianti is employed to carry out specialized audits, including the Survey Green Paper which seeks to identify and isolate any deficiencies or energy losses being incurred on tissue, or paper and board machines.
Scheduled maintenance packages are designed by ANDRITZ Novimpianti in close collaboration with the customer, detailing which systems and components need to be regularly serviced. Together with the customer’s technical department, a servicing frequency plan is established, with an outline of the machine condition requirements.
Scheduled maintenance is performed following a checklist of inspections, defined with the customer, which is filled in at each service visit. In addition, a final report is provided to the customer that contains all the results and respective recommendations for machine optimization. Subsequently, follow up meetings are scheduled with the customer to set the date for the next inspection.
