How tissue converting machine modifications can help increase OEE and profitability
One key to advancing overall equipment efficiency (OEE) is to take a holistic approach to production and equipment improvements. Opportunities for actions that contribute to consistent equipment availability and performance, and which support the manufacture of product that consistently meets quality standards, can arise at points all along the production line.

For some tissue converters, running multiple embossed products on production lines at speeds of up to 600 m/min is a daily task. It can also be highly inefficient as roll changeovers for various configurations of kitchen towels, AFH products, and toilet rolls are time and labor intensive. Embossing roll disassembly puts operators at risk of injury and also introduces the possibility of product inconsistencies and defects.

Insights ● Blog postThe time to act is now
Climate change mitigation is a challenge we all need to consider in our actions. The recently published IPCC Climate Change Mitigation report paints a grim picture. Unless emissions are reduced immediately and deeply across all sectors, limiting global warming to 1.5 °C will be beyond our reach. On the other hand, the report showed we have options in all sectors to at least halve emissions by 2030.
