Application

This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to analyse, rectify and report on dry end systems in the pulp and paper industry.

This unit applies to senior operators and production specialists who troubleshoot and rectify dry end systems in a pulp and paper manufacturing facility. Dry end operations describe a range of systems and sub systems including drying processes, reeling operations, chemical additive system, monitoring systems, sheet treatment processes, tail feed systems, broke system, on-line coating systems, calendering systems, vacuum systems, laser systems, slitter systems, sheet transfer systems, accumulator, cleaning showers.

No licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
