Find the performance–quality balance without compromising machine speed
Tissue paper production relies on very high-speed processes where sheet formation, creping, Yankee drying and thermal management directly impact softness, strength and absorbency of the final product.
Even minor deviations can lead to sheet instability, variations in bulk or basis weight, material losses or increased energy consumption.
Indao transforms data from the headbox, forming section, Yankee press, drying hood, winding and utilities into reliable operational indicators and concrete recommendations.
Why tissue processes are different
Ultra-high-speed machines where fibre, thermal and mechanical balance directly determines product quality.
Highly sensitive sheet formation
Critical Yankee drying
Narrow operating window
The challenges you face
- Sheet stability: reduce breaks caused by formation or drying instabilities
- Product quality: maintain softness, bulk, absorbency and strength despite fibre variability
- Energy performance: optimise Yankee steam and hot air hood systems
- Machine availability: anticipate deposits, doctor blade wear and adhesion drifts
- Material yield: reduce fibre losses during start-ups and unstable production phases
The limits of your current tools
- Operations often segmented between formation, press and Yankee drying
- Difficulty correlating wet-end chemistry with actual sheet behaviour
- Fixed-threshold alarms not suited to high-speed dynamics
- Quality analyses often available only after production
- Limited tools to anticipate conditions leading to sheet breaks
