Web Handling Fundamentals Workshop

Web handling is a process engineering discipline focusing on improving productivity and reducing waste of product made from papers, films, foils, nonwovens, textiles, or any thin, continuous material.

Many manufacturing trends create new challenges for web handling and winding, including thinner or more delicate products, faster or more integrated processes, and ultra-clean or hazardous environments – all increasing the potential for web handling defects. Learning to handle these materials, processes, and environmental challenges will provide your company with a competitive advantage.

This three-day workshop will combine classroom seminars and lab demonstrations to cover key concepts to optimize your equipment and process designs; practical steps to eliminate waste from breaks, deformation, scratches, alignment errors, wrinkles, and roll defects; and lab demonstrations to see web handling principles in action.

Unlike any other option in web handling education, the Optimation MCF series of web handling ‘workshops’ are one-of-a-kind training that combines classroom seminars with on-machine demonstrations.

Notebook copies of training slides will be provided to attendees at the class. Snacks and lunch will also be provided each day. After completion of the class, a spreadsheet summarizing data collected during on-machine demonstrations will also be provided to attendees.
