Mills are moving to higher speeds, reaching more than 100 km/hr, with increased paper widths and steam temperatures that may be in excess of 200°C. Additionally, the evolution of gearboxes and bearings to more sophisticated designs and technologies, including the movement to a combined circulation system, brings new challenges to lubricants, which need to satisfy the demands of multiple system components. http://www.risi.com/techchannels/millmaintenance/Thriving-in-a-harsh-environment.html?source=rssMon, 28 Nov 2011 00:00:00 -0500http://www.risi.com/techchannels/millmaintenance/Monroe-LA-corrugated-sheet-plant-to-install-45M-flexo-folder-gluer-From-the-web-3301.html?source=rssWhen partners Kingsley McCrocklin, Murray Biedenharn and Ryan Chappell opened their Louisiana Corrugated box plant on Louisville Avenue in Monroe seven years ago, they had 40 employees, a contract with Graphic Packaging and a state grant to get started.http://www.risi.com/techchannels/millmaintenance/Monroe-LA-corrugated-sheet-plant-to-install-45M-flexo-folder-gluer-From-the-web-3301.html?source=rssMon, 28 Nov 2011 00:00:00 -0500http://www.risi.com/techchannels/millmaintenance/M-reals-folding-boxboard-capacity-increases-to-190000-tonneyr-following-rebuild-at-Kyro-Mill-in-Finland.html?source=rssM-real has successfully completed the rebuild of its Kyro mill in Finland, where it makes the high quality folding boxboards Carta Elega and Avanta Prima - especially recommended for beautycare and healthcare packaging.
