At a time when capital dollars are tight for pulp and paper companies throughout North America, maintenance of mill equipment becomes ever more important. That is the situation currently at a majority of mills in the U.S. and Canada. While corporate management analyzes assets and targets specific areas in which to invest in new equipment technologies, production superintendents and maintenance managers are being asked to get the most from their existing equipment by improving uptime and finding cost-effective replacement components to enhance operation. In this report, you will find some of the latest offerings of equipment, chemicals, and services designed to make pulping and papermaking equipment run smoothly. Each product or service is tied to a Reader Service Number (see Reader Service Card on p. 000 of this issue) to make it easy for you to get information. In addition, many of these products will be featured at the Paper Industry Maintenance '97 Conference & Exhibition to be held at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia, Oct. 20-24, 1997. This conference, targeted at paper industry maintenance professionals worldwide and sponsored by PULP & PAPER and Idcon Inc., is in its 12th year of highlighting the latest in world-class maintenance practices. Because maintenance is such an integral part of overall mill operations, a new session on reliability and maintenance management aimed at top mill managers and non-maintenance professionals has been added to this year's conference. Other sessions include computerized maintenance management systems, shutdown management, smart maintenance methods, electrical instrumentation maintenance, development of front line management and craft skills, and maintenance reliability. And some of the worldwide pulp and paper companies participating in presentations are Buckeye Cellulose, Irving Paper, Mead Coated Board, Norske Skog (Norway), Stora Nymilla (Sweden), Union Camp, and Willamette Industries. PIM '97 also includes the largest industry exhibition dedicated to maintenance products and services (for more detailed information, see p. 000 of this special section). Exclusive exhibit hours offer attendees the chance to meet face-to-face with their peers and equipment suppliers, enabling a sharing of information in a relaxed atmosphere. Please keep this conference opportunity in mind as you explore the technologies discussed in this special section.
