How to reduce your 'unknown reason' paper breaks and improve paper machine, winder or print press efficiency

The Millsight web monitoring system is a valuable production tool for significantly reducing 'unknown reason' paper breaks.

Using the latest technology in high speed cameras, LED lighting and computing; to continually record digital images from cameras located at critical positions on the paper machine, winder or print press.

At a paper break event, even 'breaks within breaks', recorded video sequences from all cameras are immediately available for playback and detailed analysis, allowing first-time corrective action to be taken. Quickly finding the root cause and preventing re-occurrence of the 'same reason' paper break, thus improving machine efficiency.

Advanced cameras and compact LED lights

Clear and sharp images should be the objective for any paper machine or industrial camera system. Protecting the camera and keeping the front glass clean are essential for achieving this.

Special pinhole cameras are available for very dirty
locations; such as papermachine wet-end and
press locations.

Air passes through a small hole just in front of the pinhole lens, completely preventing contamination. Users report never needing to clean the camera lens, compared to before when they would only keep clean for a few hours. No water sprays or wipers obscuring the image at critical times.

Our new compact LED light giving long life and very low power consumption.

Web break analysis software

We have listened to many papermakers and printers, designing our new system to meet their needs. An easy to use and uncomplicated system, giving immediate access to the recorded video sequences. With no delays or blackout periods when transferring the videos.

Package includes all the tools needed, to quickly find the reason for paper breaks, including 'breaks within breaks' while tail feeding. Fully automatic on all grades of paper and board - no need for special 'grade dependent' settings.

With cameras located at the right locations, payback and return on investment has proven to be very quick.

If you are looking to reduce 'unknown reason' paper breaks by improving or upgrading your existing web monitoring system, or considering a new WMS system.. Millsight have a solution for you.
