Business Wire
Xerium Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:XRM), a leading global provider
of industrial consumable products and services, announced that Mr.
Bill Butterfield, EVP and CTO, will present a technical paper
titled “Improving Machine Performance for Success in Today's
Challenging Market” at the RISI Asia Conference in Shanghai, China
on Wednesday, June 3, 2015.
Mr. Butterfield’s paper will focus on unique solutions that
enable paperboard makers to be more globally competitive in today’s
market environment.
“As global paperboard makers face increasing demands for higher
quality and improved printability, they also face additional
challenges in terms of the furnish quality and lower basis weights
without sacrificing sheet strength and properties,” said
Butterfield. “Paperboard machines are often required to produce
multiple grades and sheet weights on the same equipment making it
even more difficult to deliver consistently high quality and
printability. Today’s producers are also challenged by
environmental policies requiring higher recycled content and
renewable fiber sources, reducing energy and water consumption, and
reducing effluent wastewater.”
The presentation will review Xerium’s innovative approach to
helping customers manage the complex optimization process for
machine clothing and rolls which are critical to paperboard
quality, machine performance and cost objectives, as well as how
advanced technologies can uphold environmental objectives.
“Xerium’s SMART Technology and Rezolve machine simulation system
use sophisticated predictive analysis coupled with real-time
monitoring to provide paperboard makers with innovative
decision-making tools to significantly enhance machine performance
while minimizing downtime and cost-per-ton. The Rezolve system
utilizes hundreds of variables on a paper machine to develop
fact-based technical recommendations on clothing and roll cover
technology rather than relying on sales-driven opinions.
Ultimately, our technologies create customized solutions for each
machine, delivering documented improved machine performance, while
also supporting sustainability and reductions in energy, fiber and
specialty chemicals”, said Butterfield.
