Reduce Costs, Increase Efficiency through Customizable Stickies Treatment Strategies
Reduce Costs, Increase Efficiency through Customizable Stickies Treatment Strategies The Problem: A tissue mill with two machines on a bleached secondary fiber pulping line was using a variety of recycled fiber grades, including some with a high stickies contaminant level. Their existing treatment was stock system encapsulation, wire passivation, and felt conditioning chemistry. At the time Cesco was called in, the mill’s kerosene purchases totaled over $4000 per month, and they were experiencing significant losses in converting due to tear-outs. Overall, due to many factors, their paper machine efficiencies were running at approximately 76%. Our Solution: Initially (Step one), the customer added CESCO PURRGE 200 to the pulper and completely stopped the encapsulation chemistry. After runni
