Stowe Woodward and Mount Hope Engineers provide engineering services to increase efficiency and productivity, solve machine problems, and improve the customer's market position.
Comput-A-Cover
Comput-A-Cover software allows the Stowe Woodward Engineer to select the best cover for the application's parameters. Detailed stress and temperature analysis ensure the selection of cover best suited to the operating parameters.
Press Manager
Press Manager utilizes a computer model of the paper machine to match the roll covers to the machine clothing to produce the right conditions for maximum dewatering, bulk, smoothness and other quality concerns.
Suction Dri-Press Technology
Suction Dri-Press, a proprietary system, combines computer programmed blind drilled holes with suction drilled holes to improve sheet quality and increase dewatering by as much as 25%.
Machine Inspections
Thorough machine outage inspections of all roll covers and bowed rolls are critical to preventing unscheduled downtime on the paper machine. The Stowe Woodward / Mount Hope Engineers will identify not only the obvious, immediate problems, but also items that will be scheduled for later outages, allowing effective preventive and predictive maintenance.
NipProfiler
The NipProfiler, proven in mills throughout North America, allows papermakers to achieve more uniform sheet quality by making loading corrections instantly and correcting improper crowns. Download PDF
Roll Crown Analysis
Correct roll crowns are critical to prevent sheet disturbance and premature cover wear. Stowe Woodward Engineers utilize sophisticated computer software developed by Stowe Woodward to calculate optimum roll crowns for a uniform nip, and proper crown distribution between rolls for equal velocity across the machine.
Thermography
Stowe Woodward Applications Sales Engineers analyze operating problems utilizing the latest Thermography technology on press sections and calender stacks.
SMART Roll
Stowe Woodward's SMART Roll technology with new robust sensors and updated communication systems measures the dynamics of a press nip under actual running conditions "on the fly" and records all history for future analysis.
The Smart roll is used in problematic press sections with a high incident rate of failures, Control Crown Roll positions where response to nip related issues can be manipulated mechanically, and press sections where monitoring pressing performance is a priority.
